Nonlinear systems possessing nonattracting chaotic sets, such as chaotic saddles, embedded in their state space may oscillate chaotically for a transient time before eventually transitioning into some stable attractor. We show that these…
Hydrodynamic instabilities often cause spatio-temporal pattern formations and transitions between them. We investigate a model experimental system, a density oscillator, where the bifurcation from a resting state to an oscillatory state is…
The attractors of a dynamical system govern its typical long-term behaviour. The presence of many attractors is significant as it means the behaviour is heavily dependent on the initial conditions. To understand how large numbers of…
We investigate the stability properties of discrete and hybrid stochastic nonlinear dynamical systems. More precisely, we extend the stochastic contraction theorems (which were formulated for continuous systems) to the case of discrete and…
We investigate both continuous (second-order) and discontinuous (first-order) transitions to macroscopic synchronization within a single class of discrete, stochastic (globally) phase-coupled oscillators. We provide analytical and numerical…

For a class of coupled limit cycle oscillators, we give a condition on a linear coupling operator that is necessary and sufficient for exponential stability of the synchronous solution. We show that with certain modifications our method of…
Synchronization, which is caused by mutual coupling, and turnover, which is the replacement of old components with new ones, are observed in various open systems consisting of many components. Although these phenomena can co-occur, the…

We study systems of coupled units in a general network configuration with a coupling delay. We show that the destabilizing bifurcations from an equilibrium are governed by the extreme eigenvalues of the coupling matrix of the network. Based…
Many real-world systems are often regarded as weakly coupled limit-cycle oscillators, in which each oscillator corresponds to a dynamical system with many degrees of freedom that have collective oscillations. One of the most practical…
We report experimental evidence of the route to spatiotemporal chaos in a large 1D-array of hotspots in a thermoconvective system. Increasing the driving force, a stationary cellular pattern becomes unstable towards a mixed pattern of…
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…
In this work, we experimentally investigate the dynamics of pairs of opto-thermally driven, mechanically coupled, doubly clamped, silicon micromechanical oscillators, and numerically investigate the dynamics of the corresponding…
We show that the synchronization transition of a large number of noisy coupled oscillators is an example for a dynamic critical point far from thermodynamic equilibrium. The universal behaviors of such critical oscillators, arranged on a…
We explore possible synchronization in two-dimensional (2D) locally coupled discrete-state oscillators under thermal fluctuations, using the self-rotating $q$-state clock model as a prototype. Large-scale Monte Carlo simulations reveal that…
