We demonstrate that solitary states can be widely observed for networks of coupled oscillators with local, non-local and global couplings, and they preserve in both thermodynamic and Hamiltonian limits. We show that depending on units' and…

Relay synchronization in complex networks is characterized by the synchronization of remote parts of the network due to their interaction via a relay. In multilayer networks, distant layers that are not connected directly can synchronize…
We consider a two-layer multiplex network of diffusively coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neurons in the excitable regime. It is shown, in contrast to SISR in a single isolated FHN neuron, that the maximum noise amplitude at which SISR occurs…
