We consider a toy model of two kinetically coupled stochastic oscillators whose dynamics is described as a Markov jump process among $N$ discrete phase states. For large $N$, it maps onto the deterministic two-oscillator Kuramoto model of…

Synchronization occurs in many natural and technological systems, from cardiac pacemaker cells to coupled lasers. In the synchronized state, the individual cells or lasers coordinate the timing of their oscillations, but they do not move…

The Kuramoto model of a network of coupled phase oscillators exhibits a first-order phase transition when the distribution of natural frequencies has a finite flat region at its maximum. First-order phase transitions including hysteresis…

The behavior of weakly coupled self-sustained oscillators can often be well described by phase equations. Here we use the paradigm of Kuramoto phase oscillators which are coupled in a network to calculate first and second order corrections…

We study the collective dynamics of coupled Stuart--Landau oscillators, which model limit-cycle behavior near a Hopf bifurcation and serve as the amplitude-phase analogue of the Kuramoto model. Unlike the well-studied phase-reduced systems,…

We investigate synchronization in a Kuramoto-like model with nearest neighbour coupling. Upon analyzing the behaviour of individual oscillators at the onset of complete synchronization, we show that the time interval between bursts in the…

We perform a stochastic model reduction of the Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model for finitely many coupled phase oscillators with phase frustration. Whereas in the thermodynamic limit coupled oscillators exhibit stationary states and a constant…
