We demonstrate that chimera behavior can be observed in nonlocally coupled networks of excitable systems in the presence of noise. This phenomenon is distinct from classical chimeras, which occur in deterministic oscillatory systems, and it…

We investigate two types of chimera states, i.e., patterns consisting of coexisting spatially separated domains with coherent and incoherent dynamics, in ring networks of Stuart-Landau oscillators with symmetry-breaking coupling, under the…

In a network of coupled oscillators, a symmetry-broken dynamical state characterized by the coexistence of coherent and incoherent parts can spontaneously form. It is known as a chimera state. We study chimera states in a network consisting…

We study the emergence of chimera states in a multilayer neuronal network, where one layer is composed of coupled and the other layer of uncoupled neurons. Through the multilayer structure, the layer with coupled neurons acts as the medium…

We report the occurrence of a self-emerging frequency chimera state in spatially extended systems of coupled oscillators, where the coherence and incoherence are defined with respect to the emergent frequency of the oscillations. This is…

Chaotic dynamical systems with two or more attractors lying on invariant subspaces may, provided certain mathematical conditions are fulfilled, exhibit intermingled basins of attraction: Each basin is riddled with holes belonging to basins…

Multistability is a common phenomenon which naturally occurs in complex networks. If coexisting attractors are numerous and their basins of attraction are complexly interwoven, the long-term response to a perturbation can be highly…

We report the emergence of peculiar chimera states in networks of identical pendula with global phase-lagged coupling. The states reported include both rotating and quiescent modes, i.e. with non-zero and zero average frequencies. This kind…

We study numerically the development of chimera states in networks of nonlocally coupled oscillators whose limit cycles emerge from a Hopf bifurcation. This dynamical system is inspired from population dynamics and consists of three…

We investigate the global basin structure of twisted states in nearest-neighbor coupled phase oscillators with a common phase shift $\alpha$. As $\alpha$ increases, basin boundaries become progressively more complex, with their fractal…
