The dynamics of networks of interacting dynamical systems depend on the nature of the coupling between individual units. We explore networks of oscillatory units with coupling functions that have ‘dead zones’, that is the coupling functions are zero on sets with interior. For such networks, it is convenient to look at the effective interactions between units rather than the (fixed) structural connectivity to understand the network dynamics. For example, oscillators may effectively decouple in particular phase configurations. Along trajectories, the effective interactions are not necessarily static, but the effective coupling may evolve in time. Here, we formalize the concepts of dead zones and effective interactions. We elucidate how the coupling function shapes the possible effective interaction schemes and how they evolve in time. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Coupling functions: dynamical interaction mechanisms in the physical, biological and social sciences’.
