We study a Kuramoto-like model of coupled identical phase oscillators on a network, where attractive and repulsive couplings are balanced dynamically due to nonlinearity in interaction. Under a week force, an oscillator tends to follow the…

We consider models in which two sets of matched two-level systems are coupled to a common oscillator in the case where the oscillator energy is small relative to the two-level transition energies. Since the two sets of two-level systems are…
The synchronization of coupled oscillators is a phenomenon found throughout nature. Mechanical oscillators are paradigmatic among such systems, but realising them at the nanoscale is challenging. We report synchronization of the mechanical…

Almost all organisms show some kind of time periodicity in their behavior. Especially in mammals the neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus form a biological clock regulating the activity-inactivity cycle of the animal. This clock is…
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…

A long-standing expectation is that two repulsively coupled oscillators tend to oscillate in opposite directions. It has been difficult to achieve complete synchrony in coupled identical oscillators with purely repulsive coupling. Here, we…
We introduce a scalar reduction method for forced or coupled systems with nonlinearities in both heterogeneity and coupling strength. Heterogeneity is formulated as a relatively weak but nonlinear alteration of the vector field(s). The…
