Abstract

This paper studies a discrete dynamical system belonging to the class of the networks introduced by A.P.~Buslaev. The systems contains a finite set of contours. In any contour, there are cells and a group of particles. This group is called a cluster. The number of these particles is even. The particles are in adjacent cells and move simultaneously. For each contour, there are two adjacent contours. These contours are the contour on the left and the contour on the right. There is a common point for two adjacent contours. These common points are called nodes. At each discrete moment, the particles of a cluster move onto a cell forward. Delays in the cluster movement occur due to that particles of two clusters may not cross the same node simultaneously. The main problem is to study limit cycles of the considered dynamical systems and the set of realized velocities of clusters taking into account the delays.
