Synchronization of an ensemble of oscillators is an emergent phenomenon present in several complex systems, ranging from social and physical to biological and technological systems. The most successful approach to describe how coherent…
We investigate in depth the synchronization of coupled oscillators on top of complex networks with different degrees of heterogeneity within the context of the Kuramoto model. In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 034101 (2007)], we…
We study synchronization of Kuramoto oscillators in strongly modular networks in which the structure of the network inside each community is averaged. We find that the dynamics of the interacting communities can be described as an ensemble…
The Kuramoto model is a standard model for the dynamics of coupled oscillator networks. In particular, it is used to study long time behavior such as phase-locking where all oscillators rotate at a common frequency with fixed angle…
Real-world networks are often characterized by simultaneous interactions between multiple agents that adapt themselves due to feedback from the environment. In this article, we investigate the dynamics of an adaptive multilayer network of…
Chimera states have been recently found in a variety of different coupling schemes and geometries. In most cases, the underlying coupling structure is considered to be static, while many realistic systems display significant temporal…
The behavior of weakly coupled self-sustained oscillators can often be well described by phase equations. Here we use the paradigm of Kuramoto phase oscillators which are coupled in a network to calculate first and second order corrections…
Coupled oscillators have been used to study synchronization in a wide range of social, biological, and physical systems, including pedestrian-induced bridge resonances, coordinated lighting up of firefly swarms, and enhanced output peak…
Synchronization in networks of coupled oscillators is classically studied via the Kuramoto model, whose intrinsic nonlinearity limits analytical tractability and complicates control design. Complex-valued extensions circumvent this by…
In this letter we discuss a method for generating synchrony-optimized coupling architectures of Kuramoto oscillators with a heterogeneous distribution of native frequencies. The method allows us to relate the properties of the coupling…
The interaction between phase oscillators is conservative if the phase volume is conserved throughout the dynamics. We derive a general condition, based on the notion of a pair-Hamiltonian, for the pairwise couplings to be conservative. The…
Many studies of synchronization properties of coupled oscillators, based on the classical Kuramoto approach, focus on ensembles coupled via a mean field. Here we introduce a setup of Kuramoto-type phase oscillators coupled via two mean…
Synchronization over networks depends strongly on the structure of the coupling between the oscillators. When the coupling presents certain regularities, the dynamics can be coarse-grained into clusters by means of External Equitable…
By means of numerical integration we investigate the coherent and incoherent phases in a generalized Kuramoto model of phase-coupled oscillators with distance-dependent delay. Preserving the topology of a complete graph, we arrange the…
Synchronization in a frequency-weighted Kuramoto model with a uniform frequency distribution is studied. We plot the bifurcation diagram and identify the asymptotic coherent states. Numerical simulations show that the system undergoes two…
The instability of mixing in the Kuramoto model of coupled phase oscillators is the key to understanding a range of spatiotemporal patterns, which feature prominently in collective dynamics of systems ranging from neuronal networks, to…
Disorder is often seen as detrimental to collective dynamics, yet recent work has shown that heterogeneity can enhance network synchronization. However, its constructive role in stabilizing nontrivial cooperative patterns remains largely…
Synchronization and desynchronization are the two ends on the spectrum of emergent phenomena that somehow often coexist in biological, neuronal, and physical networks. However, previous studies essentially regard their coexistence as a…
Oscillators have two main limitations: their synchronization properties are limited (i.e they have a finite synchronization region) and they have no memory of past interactions (i.e. they return to their intrinsic frequency whenever the…
We prove that any non zero inertia, however small, is able to change the nature of the synchronization transition in Kuramoto-like models, either from continuous to discontinuous, or from discontinuous to continuous. This result is obtained…
