We present a collective coordinate approach to describe coupled phase oscillators. We apply the method to study synchronisation in a Kuramoto model. In our approach an N-dimensional Kuramoto model is reduced to an n-dimensional ordinary…

We study the onset of synchronization in square lattices of limit cycle oscillators with long-range coupling by means of numerical simulations of the Kuramoto model. In this regime the critical coupling strength depends on the system size…
We derive a general theory of linear coupling and Kerr nonlinear coupling between modes of dielectric optical resonators from first principles. The treatment is not specific to a particular geometry or choice of mode basis, and can…
Many real-world examples of distributed oscillators involve not only time delays but also attractive (positive) and repulsive (negative) influences in their network interactions. Here, considering such examples, we generalize the Kuramoto…
Can a simple oscillator system, as in cellular automata, sustain complex nature upon discretization in time and space? The answer is by no means trivial as even the most simple, two-state, nearest neighbours cellular automata can lead to…
Perhaps because of the elegance of the central limit theorem, it is often assumed that distributions in nature will approach singly-peaked, unimodal shapes reminiscent of the Gaussian normal distribution. However, many systems behave…
