We propose a generalization of the Kuramoto model of interacting oscillators in which the particles move on the surface of a $D$-dimensional torus. In contrast with the traditional one-dimensional version, this model has a first order phase…

We study a Kuramoto-like model of coupled identical phase oscillators on a network, where attractive and repulsive couplings are balanced dynamically due to nonlinearity in interaction. Under a week force, an oscillator tends to follow the…

We consider the dynamics of $n$ points on a sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d \geq 2$) which attract each other according to a function $\varphi$ of their inner products. When $\varphi$ is linear ($\varphi(t) = t$), the points converge to a…
