Coupled metronomes serve as a paradigmatic model for exploring the collective behaviors of complex dynamical systems, as well as a classical setup for classroom demonstrations of synchronization phenomena. Whereas previous studies of…
Various oscillatory phenomena occur in the world. Because some oscillations are related to abnormal states (e.g., particular diseases), establishing state-transition methods from an oscillatory to a resting state is important. In this…
Spontaneous synchronisation is a collective phenomenon that can occur in both dynamical classical and quantum systems. Here, we analyse the spontaneous synchronisation dynamics of vibrations assisting energy transfer in a bio-inspired…
Reflecting boundary conditions cause two one-dimensional random walks to synchronize if a common direction is chosen in each step. The mean synchronization time and its standard deviation are calculated analytically. Both quantities are…
We study, both analytically and numerically, the dynamics of mechanical oscillators kept in motion by a feedback force, which is generated electronically from a signal produced by the oscillators themselves. This kind of self-sustained…
In 1665, Huygens observed that two pendulum clocks hanging from the same board became synchronized in antiphase after hundreds of swings. On the other hand, modern experiments with metronomes placed on a movable platform show that they…
Synchronization is a phenomenon where interacting particles lock their motion and display non-trivial dynamics. Despite intense efforts studying synchronization in systems without clear classical limits, no comprehensive theory has been…
Synchronization is one of the paradigmatic phenomena in the study of complex systems. It has been explored theoretically and experimentally mostly to understand natural phenomena, but also in view of technological applications. Although…
Spontaneous synchronization is a general phenomenon in which a large population of coupled oscillators of diverse natural frequencies self-organize to operate in unison. The phenomenon occurs in physical and biological systems over a wide…
In this paper we present an experimental setup and an associated mathematical model to study the synchronization of two self sustained strongly coupled mechanical oscillators (metronomes). The effects of a small detuning in the internal…
Group synchronization arises when two or more synchronization patterns coexist in a network formed of oscillators of different types, with the systems in each group synchronizing on the same time-evolution, but systems in different groups…
Spontaneous synchronization is a remarkable collective effect observed in nature, whereby a population of oscillating units, which have diverse natural frequencies and are in weak interaction with one another, evolves to spontaneously…
We study the effect of memory on synchronization of identical chaotic systems driven by common external noises. Our examples show that while in general synchronization transition becomes more difficult to meet when memory range increases,…
In a network of dynamical systems, concurrent synchronization is a regime where multiple groups of fully synchronized elements coexist. In the brain, concurrent synchronization may occur at several scales, with multiple ``rhythms''…
Measurements are able to fundamentally affect quantum dynamics. We here show that a continuously measured quantum many-body system can undergo a spontaneous transition from asynchronous stochastic dynamics to noise-free stable…
The phenomenon of spontaneous synchronization arises in a broad range of systems when the mutual interaction strength among components overcomes the effect of detuning. Recently it has been studied also in the quantum regime with a variety…
We investigate collective synchronization in a system of coupled oscillators on small-world networks. The order parameters which measure synchronization of phases and frequencies are introduced and analyzed by means of dynamic simulations…
Music is a form of expression that often requires interaction between players. If one wishes to interact in such a musical way with a computer, it is necessary for the machine to be able to interpret the input given by the human to find its…
Random perturbations applied in tandem to an ensemble of oscillating objects can synchronize their motion. We study multiple copies of an arbitrary dynamical system in a stable limit cycle, described via a standard phase reduction picture.…
We study independent and identically distributed random iterations of continuous maps defined on a connected closed subset $S$ of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{k}$. We assume the maps are monotone (with respect to a suitable partial…
