The Kuramoto model can be formulated as a gradient flow on a nonconvex energy landscape of the form $E(\boldsymbol{\theta}) := \frac{1}{2} \sum_{1\le i,j\le n} A_{ij}\bigl(1-\cos(\theta_i-\theta_j)\bigr).$ A fundamental question is to…

We study the synchronisation properties of the Kuramoto model of coupled phase oscillators on a general network. Here we distinguish the ability of such a system to self-synchronise from the stability of this behaviour. While…

Employing the Kuramoto model as an illustrative example, we show how the use of the mean field approximation can be applied to large networks of phase oscillators with assortativity. We then use the ansatz of Ott and Antonsen [Chaos 19,…
