We study the response of an ensemble of synchronized phase oscillators to an external harmonic perturbation applied to one of the oscillators. Our main goal is to relate the propagation of the perturbation signal to the structure of the…
We consider two neuronal networks coupled by long-range excitatory interactions. Oscillations in the gamma frequency band are generated within each network by local inhibition. When long-range excitation is weak, these oscillations…
Power system coherency refers to the phenomenon that machines in a power network exhibit similar frequency responses after disturbances, and is foundational for model reduction and control design. Despite abundant empirical observations,…
We show that subsets of interacting oscillators may synchronize in different ways within a single network. This diversity of synchronization patterns is promoted by increasing the heterogeneous distribution of coupling weights and/or…
We present a general theory for the onset of coherence in collections of heterogeneous maps interacting via a complex connection network. Our method allows the dynamics of the individual uncoupled systems to be either chaotic or periodic,…
Neuromorphic networks can be described in terms of coarse-grained variables, where emergent sustained behaviours spontaneously arise if stochasticity is properly taken in account. For example it has been recently found that a directed…
We consider networks of coupled stochastic oscillators. When coupled we find strong collective oscillations, while each unit remains stochastic. In the limit (N\to \infty) we derive a system of integro-delay equations and show analytically…
Network coherence generally refers to the emergence of simple aggregated dynamical behaviours, despite heterogeneity in the dynamics of the subsystems that constitute the network. In this paper, we develop a general frequency domain…
We study the propagation of a harmonic perturbation of small amplitude on a network of coupled identical phase oscillators prepared in a state of full synchronization. The perturbation is externally applied to a single oscillator, and is…

We formulate a reduction theory that describes the response of an oscillator network as a whole to external forcing applied nonuniformly to its constituent oscillators. The phase description of multiple oscillator networks coupled weakly is…
Effective field theory provides a perturbative framework to study the evolution of cosmological large-scale structure. We investigate the underpinnings of this approach, and suggest new ways to compute correlation functions of cosmological…
The behavior of weakly coupled self-sustained oscillators can often be well described by phase equations. Here we use the paradigm of Kuramoto phase oscillators which are coupled in a network to calculate first and second order corrections…

Synchronization and resonance on networks are some of the most remarkable collective dynamical phenomena. The network topology, or the nature and distribution of the connections within an ensemble of coupled oscillators, plays a crucial…
Recurrently coupled oscillators that are sufficiently heterogeneous and/or randomly coupled can show an asynchronous activity in which there are no significant correlations among the units of the network. The asynchronous state can…
Frequency modulation by perturbation is the essential trait that differentiates limit cycle oscillators from phase oscillators. We studied networks of identical limit cycle oscillators whose frequencies are modulated sensitively by the…

We study the relationship between the modularity of scale-free excitable networks and their ability to support self-sustained oscillation patterns. We find that the probability for a network of given degree-distribution exponent to be able…
