A chimera state is a spatio-temporal pattern in a network of identical coupled oscillators in which synchronous and asynchronous oscillation coexist. This state of broken symmetry, which usually coexists with a stable spatially symmetric…
Kuramoto and Battogtokh [Nonlinear Phenom. Complex Syst. 5, 380 (2002)] discovered chimera states represented by stable coexisting synchrony and asynchrony domains in a lattice of coupled oscillators. After reformulation in terms of local…
We study a system of phase oscillators with nonlocal coupling in a ring that supports self-organized patterns of coherence and incoherence, called chimera states. Introducing a global feedback loop, connecting the phase lag to the order…
Solitary states emerge in oscillator networks when one oscillator separates from the fully synchronized cluster and becomes incoherent with the rest of the network. Such chimera-type patterns with an incoherent state formed by a single…

We show that chimera states, where differentiated subsets of synchronized and desynchronized dynamical elements coexist, can emerge in networks of hyperbolic chaotic oscillators subject to global interactions. As local dynamics we employ…
Coupled oscillators can serve as a testbed for larger questions of pattern formation across many areas of science and engineering. Much effort has been dedicated to the Kuramoto model and phase oscillators, but less has focused on…
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…
Chimera states consisting of domains of coherently and incoherently oscillating nonlocally-coupled phase oscillators in systems with spatial inhomogeneity are studied. The inhomogeneity is introduced through the dependence of the oscillator…
We investigate spatio-temporal dynamics of a 2D ensemble of nonlocally coupled chaotic cubic maps in a bistability regime. In particular, we perform a detailed study on the transition "coherence -- incoherence" for varying coupling strength…

Chimera is a rich and fascinating class of self-organized solutions developed in high dimensional networks having non-local and symmetry breaking coupling features. Its accurate understanding is expected to bring important insight in many…
The dynamics of two symmetrically coupled populations of rotators is studied for different values of the inertia. The system is characterized by different types of solutions, which all coexist with the fully synchronized state. At small…
Populations of coupled oscillators can exhibit a wide range of complex dynamical behavior, from complete synchronization to chimera and chaotic states. We can thus expect complex dynamics to arise in networks of such populations. Here we…

Collective behavior among coupled dynamical units can emerge in various forms as a result of different coupling topologies as well as different types of coupling functions. Chimera states have recently received ample attention as a…
