Synchronization commonly occurs in many natural and man-made systems, from neurons in the brain to cardiac cells to power grids to Josephson junction arrays. Transitions to or out of synchrony for coupled oscillators depend on several…
We consider a long-range model of coupled phase-only oscillators subject to a local potential and evolving in presence of thermal noise. The model is a non-trivial generalization of the celebrated Kuramoto model of collective…
In this paper, inspired by the idea that many real networks are composed by different sorts of communities, we investigate the synchronization property of oscillators on such networks. We identify the communities by the intrinsic…
Higher-order interactions shape collective dynamics, but how they affect transitions between different states in swarmalator systems is yet to be determined. To that effect, we here study an analytically tractable swarmalator model that…
From biology to social science, the functioning of a wide range of systems is the result of elementary interactions which involve more than two constituents, so that their description has unavoidably to go beyond simple…
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 study a simple two-dimensional swarmalator model that incorporates higher-order phase interactions, uncovering a diverse range of collective states. The latter include spatially coherent and gas-like configurations, neither of which…
This study investigates the impact of delayed coupling on the global and local synchronization of identical coupled oscillators residing in a ring. Utilizing the Kuramoto model, we examine the effects of delayed coupling on collective…
We generalize the Kuramoto model of coupled oscillators to allow time-delayed interactions. New phenomena include bistability between synchronized and incoherent states, and unsteady solutions with time-dependent order parameters. We derive…
Research on synchronization of coupled oscillators has helped explain how uniform behavior emerges in populations of non-uniform systems. But explaining how uniform populations engage in sustainable non-uniform synchronization may prove to…
Synchronization of weakly-coupled non-linear oscillators is a ubiquitous phenomenon that has been observed across the natural sciences. We study the dynamics of optomechanical arrays - networks of mechanically compliant structures that…
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…
The classical Kuramoto model consists of finitely many pairwise coupled oscillators on the circle. In many applications a simple pairwise coupling is not sufficient to describe real-world phenomena as higher-order (or group) interactions…
The global stability of oscillator networks has attracted much recent attention. Ordinarily, the oscillators in such studies are motionless; their spatial degrees of freedom are either ignored (e.g. mean field models) or inactive (e.g…
We present some recent development in modeling concurrent emergence of collective behaviors, namely, the emergence of clustering, flocking and synchronization at the same time. We derive two new models, namely Swarmalator-Vicsek and…
Many natural and human-made complex systems feature group interactions that adapt over time in response to their dynamic states. However, most of the existing adaptive network models fall short of capturing these group dynamics, as they…
Synchronization, the emergence of spontaneous order in coupled systems, is of fundamental importance in both physical and biological systems. We demonstrate the synchronization of two dissimilar silicon nitride micromechanical oscillators,…
Synchronization is observed in many natural systems, with examples ranging from neuronal activation to walking pedestrians. The models proposed by Winfree and Kuramoto stand as the classic frameworks for investigating these phenomena. The…
An ensemble of pulse-coupled phase-oscillators is thoroughly analysed in the presence of a mean-field coupling and a dispersion of their natural frequencies. In spite of the analogies with the Kuramoto setup, a much richer scenario is…
Globally coupled ensembles of phase oscillators serve as useful tools for modeling synchronization and collective behavior in a variety of applications. As interest in the effects of simplicial interactions (i.e., non-additive, higher-order…
