The Kuramoto model is a system of nonlinear differential equations that models networks of coupled oscillators and is often used to study synchronization among them. It has been observed that if the natural frequencies of the oscillators…

Synchronizing phase frustrated Kuramoto oscillators, a challenge that has found applications from neuronal networks to the power grid, is an eluding problem, as even small phase-lags cause the oscillators to avoid synchronization. Here we…

In heterogeneous networks of coupled oscillators, phase frustration typically prevents the emergence of synchronization in the Sakaguchi--Kuramoto (SK) model. In this study, we propose an analytical framework to overcome this barrier and…
