| contents | The overdamped Josephson junction in superconductivity theory can be modeled by the family of dynamical systems on the torus, which is known as the RSJ model. This family admits an equivalent description by a family of second-order differential equations: special double confluent Heun equations. In the present paper, we construct two new families of dynamical systems on torus that can be equivalently described by a family of general Heun equations (GHE), with four singular points, and confluent Heun equations, with three singular points. The first family, related to GHE, is a deformation of the RSJ model, which will be denoted by dRSJ. The phase-lock areas of a family of dynamical systems on the torus are those level subsets of the rotation number function that have nonempty interiors. It is known that for the RSJ model, the rotation number quantization effect occurs: phase-lock areas exist only for integer rotation number values. Moreover, each phase-lock area is a chain of domains separated by points. Those separation points that do not lie on the abscissa axis are called constrictions. In the present paper, we study phase-lock areas in the new family dRSJ. The quantization effect remains valid in this family. On the other hand, we show that in the new family dRSJ the constrictions break down. |
