In the theory of dynamical systems, amplitude death is complete cessation of oscillations.
The system can be in a state of either periodic motion or chaotic motion before it goes to amplitude death.
[1] A dynamical system can go to amplitude death because of change in intrinsic parameters of the system or its interaction with other systems or its environment.
[2][3] Amplitude death can appear also because of the delay in the coupling between the systems[4][5]
