In this dissertation, we analyze the behavior of network dynamical systems. First, we determine conditions for the occurrence of synchrony in chaotic dynamical systems. Then, we derive phase oscillator models from general systems of coupled oscillators and consider limits of these models as the system size goes to infinity. We consider equilibria in this limit and analyze their stability as well as their bifurcation behavior. Finally, we develop efficient numerical algorithms for the simulation of a broad range of network dynamical systems.
