Based on the method of computer modeling of the phase dynamics of a ring system of parallel Josephson transitions, the volt-ampere characteristic and time dependences of the voltage at different values of the base current are calculated. A detailed description of the method for calculating the volt-ampere characteristic of the system under consideration is given. It is shown that there is an additional branch on the volt-ampere characteristic of the ring system, which is associated with the resonance of the pulsating fluxone and the plasma wave.
