  We explore the dynamical consequences of switching the coupling form in a
system of coupled oscillators. We consider two types of switching, one where
the coupling function changes periodically and one where it changes
probabilistically. We find, through bifurcation diagrams and Basin Stability
analysis, that there exists a window in coupling strength where the
oscillations get suppressed. Beyond this window, the oscillations are revived
again. A similar trend emerges with respect to the relative predominance of the
coupling forms, with the largest window of fixed point dynamics arising where
there is balance in the probability of occurrence of the coupling forms.
Further, significantly, more rapid switching of coupling forms yields large
regions of oscillation suppression. Lastly, we propose an effective model for
the dynamics arising from switched coupling forms and demonstrate how this
model captures the basic features observed in numerical simulations and also
offers an accurate estimate of the fixed point region through linear stability
analysis.
