Direct way to observe the geometric phase in nonlinear coupled oscillators

Abstract
We apply the geometric phase theory to the dissipative system of a set of nonlinear coupled oscillators. We found an area theorem for the geometric phase, which provides a direct and simple geometric method for observing the geometric phase of this system. The area theorem shows evidence that the geometric phase is related to certain dynamical features of the systems.
