The Kuramoto model of coupled phase oscillators with inertia on Erdos-Renyi graphs is analyzed in this work. For a system with intrinsic frequencies sampled from a bimodal distribution we identify a variety of two cluster patterns and study…
Chimera states are complex spatio-temporal patterns that consist of coexisting domains of spatially coherent and incoherent dynamics. This counterintuitive phenomenon was first observed in systems of identical oscillators with symmetric…
We consider a social-type network of coupled phase oscillators. Such a network consists of an active core of mutually interacting elements, and of a flock of passive units, which follow the driving from the active elements, but otherwise…
We study a network of finitely many interacting clusters where each cluster is a collection of globally coupled circle maps in the thermodynamic (or mean field) limit. The state of each cluster is described by a probability measure, and its…
Cluster synchronization is a fundamental phenomenon in systems of coupled oscillators. Here, we investigate clustering patterns that emerge in a unidirectional ring of four delay-coupled electrochemical oscillators. A voltage parameter in…
We investigate coupled identical phase oscillators with scale-free distribution of coupling strength. It is shown that partially locked states can occur due to the inhomogeneity in coupling and some properties of the coupling function.…
By characterizing the phase dynamics in coupled oscillators, we gain insights into the fundamental phenomena of complex systems. The collective dynamics in oscillatory systems are often described by order parameters, which are insufficient…
Homogeneous populations of oscillators have recently been shown to exhibit stable coexistence of coherent and incoherent regions. Generalizing the concept of chimera states to the context of order-disorder transition in systems at thermal…
We study the existence of chimera states in pulse-coupled networks of bursting Hindmarsh-Rose neurons with nonlocal, global and local (nearest neighbor) couplings. Through a linear stability analysis, we discuss the behavior of stability…
Large communities of biological oscillators show a prevalent tendency to self-organize in time. This cooperative phenomenon inspired Winfree to formulate a mathematical model that originated the theory of macroscopic synchronization.…
Chimera states---the coexistence of synchrony and asynchrony in a nonlocally-coupled network of identical oscillators---are often used as a model framework for epileptic seizures. Here, we explore the dynamics of chimera states in a network…
Coupled hair cells of the auditory and vestibular systems perform the crucial task of converting the energy of sound waves and ground-borne vibrations into ionic currents. We mechanically couple groups of living, active hair cells with…
We analyze nonlocally coupled networks of identical chaotic oscillators with either time-discrete or time-continuous dynamics (Henon map, Lozi map, Lorenz system). We hypothesize that chimera states, in which spatial domains of coherent…
Since constraints hinder the application of numerical algorithms, phase diagrams of quantum dimer models are still controversial, even on the square lattice. The core controversy is whether the mixed state exists. In this article, we give…
Two-dimensional arrays of coupled waveguides or coupled microcavities allow to confine and manipulate light. Based on a paradigmatic envelope equation, we show that these devices, subject to a coherent optical injection, support coexistence…
An ensemble of nonlocally coupled excitable FitzHugh-Nagumo systems is studied. In the presence of noise the explored system can exhibit a special kind of chimera states called coherence-resonance chimera. As previously thought, noise plays…
When chaotic oscillators are coupled in complex networks a number of interesting synchronization phenomena emerge. Notable examples are the frequency and amplitude chimeras, chimera death states, solitary states as well as combinations of…
Discovered numerically by Kuramoto and Battogtokh in 2002, chimera states are spatiotemporal patterns in which regions of coherence and incoherence coexist. These mathematical oddities were recently reproduced in a laboratory setting…
We present the emergence of chimeras, a state referring to coexistence of partly coherent, partly incoherent dynamics in networks of identical oscillators, in a multiplex network consisting of two non-identical layers which are…
Chimera states have attracted significant attention as symmetry-broken states exhibiting the unexpected coexistence of coherence and incoherence. Despite the valuable insights gained from analyzing specific systems, an understanding of the…
