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…

We consider a system of N phase oscillators having randomly distributed natural frequencies and diagonalizable interactions among the oscillators. We show that in the limit of N going to infinity, all solutions of such a system are…

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…

We numerically study the Kuramoto model's synchronization consisting of the two groups of conformist-contrarian and excitatory-inhibitory phase oscillators with equal intrinsic frequency. We consider random and small-world (SW) topologies…

Many real-world examples of distributed oscillators involve not only time delays but also attractive (positive) and repulsive (negative) influences in their network interactions. Here, considering such examples, we generalize the Kuramoto…
