We consider the behavior of a modulated wave solution to an $\mathbb{S}^1$-equivariant autonomous system of differential equations under an external forcing of modulated wave type. The modulation frequency of the forcing is assumed to be…
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…
We consider chimera states of coupled identical phase oscillators where some oscillators are phase synchronized while others are desynchronized. It is known that chimera states of non-locally coupled Kuramoto--Sakaguchi oscillators in…
Synchronization occurs ubiquitously in nature and science. The synchronization regions generally broaden monotonically with the strength of the forcing, thereby featuring a tongue-like shape in parameter space, known as Arnold's tongue.…
Chimera states, which consist of coexisting domains of spatially coherent and incoherent dynamics, have been widely found in nonlocally coupled oscillatory systems. We demonstrate for the first time that chimera states can emerge from…
We study a triangular network of three populations of coupled phase oscillators with identical frequencies. The populations interact nonlocally, in the sense that all oscillators are coupled to one another, but more weakly to those in…
We report a novel mechanism for the formation of chimera states, a peculiar spatiotemporal pattern with coexisting synchronized and incoherent domains found in ensembles of identical oscillators. Considering Stuart-Landau oscillators we…
In this paper we study the effect of external harmonic forcing on a one-dimensional oscillatory system described by the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE). For a sufficiently large forcing amplitude, a homogeneous state with no spatial…
We consider a Brownian oscillator whose coupling to the environment may lead to the formation of a localized normal mode. For lower values of the oscillator's natural frequency, $\omega\le\omega_c$, the localized mode is absent and the…
We present a control scheme that is able to find and stabilize an unstable chaotic regime in a system with a large number of interacting particles. This allows us to track a high dimensional chaotic attractor through a bifurcation where it…

We study a simple model of swarmalators subject to periodic forcing and confined to move around a one-dimensional ring. This is a toy model for physical systems with a mix of sync, swarming, and forcing such as colloidal micromotors. We…
Understanding and controlling the mechanisms behind synchronization phenomena is of paramount importance in nonlinear science. In particular, the emergence of chimera states, patterns in which order and disorder coexist simultaneously,…
Chimera states for the one-dimensional array of nonlocally coupled phase oscillators in the continuum limit are assumed to be stationary states in most studies, but a few studies report the existence of breathing chimera states. We focus on…
We demonstrate emergence of a complex state in a homogeneous ensemble of globally coupled identical oscillators, reminiscent of chimera states in locally coupled oscillator lattices. In this regime some part of the ensemble forms a…
In this paper we consider a resonant injection-locked frequency divider which is of interest in electronics, and we investigate the frequency locking phenomenon when varying the amplitude and frequency of the injected signal. We study both…
Consider a periodically forced nonlinear system which can be presented as a collection of smaller subsystems with pairwise interactions between them. Each subsystem is assumed to be a massive point moving with friction on a compact surface,…
A "chimera state" is a dynamical pattern that occurs in a network of coupled identical oscillators when the symmetry of the oscillator population is broken into synchronous and asynchronous parts. We report the experimental observation of…
The family of circle maps \begin{equation*} f_{b, \omega} (x) = x + \omega + b\, \phi(x) \end{equation*} is used as a simple model for a periodically forced oscillator. The parameter $\omega$ represents the unforced frequency, $b$ the…
