Recently a novel dynamical state, called the {\it chimera death}, is discovered in a network of non locally coupled identical oscillators [A. Zakharova, M. Kapeller, and E. Sch\"oll, Phy.Rev.Lett. 112, 154101 (2014)], which is defined as…

Systems of coupled oscillators have been seen to exhibit chimera states, i.e. states where the system splits into two groups where one group is phase locked and the other is phase randomized. In this work, we report the existence of chimera…
