We study a Kuramoto-like model of coupled identical phase oscillators on a network, where attractive and repulsive couplings are balanced dynamically due to nonlinearity in interaction. Under a week force, an oscillator tends to follow the…
The phase oscillator model with global coupling is extended to the case of finite-range nonlocal coupling. Under suitable conditions, peculiar patterns emerge in which a quasi-continuous array of identical oscillators separates sharply into…

We demonstrate that solitary states can be widely observed for networks of coupled oscillators with local, non-local and global couplings, and they preserve in both thermodynamic and Hamiltonian limits. We show that depending on units' and…
We consider a population of globally coupled oscillators in which phase shifts in the coupling are random. We show that in the maximally disordered case, where the pairwise shifts are i.i.d. random variables, the dynamics of a large…
Chimera states consisting of domains of coherently and incoherently oscillating nonlocally-coupled phase oscillators in systems with spatial inhomogeneity are studied. The inhomogeneity is introduced through the dependence of the oscillator…
When identical oscillators are coupled together in a network, dynamical steady states are often assumed to reflect network symmetries. Here we show that alternative persistent states may also exist that break the symmetries of the…
