Improving the frequency precision by synchronizing a lattice of oscillators is studied in the phase reduction limit. For the most commonly studied case of purely dissipative phase coupling (the Kuramoto model) I confirm that the frequency…

Synchronization commonly occurs in many natural and man-made systems, from neurons in the brain to cardiac cells to power grids to Josephson junction arrays. Transitions to or out of synchrony for coupled oscillators depend on several…

The Kuramoto model is the paradigmatic model to study synchronization in coupled oscillator systems. In its classical formulation, the oscillators move on the unit circle, each characterized by a scalar phase and a natural frequency, by…

We consider a Kuramoto model for the dynamics of an excitable system consisting of two coupled active rotators. Depending on both the coupling strength and the noise, the two rotators can be in a synchronized or desynchronized state. The…

We investigate synchronization in a Kuramoto-like model with nearest neighbour coupling. Upon analyzing the behaviour of individual oscillators at the onset of complete synchronization, we show that the time interval between bursts in the…

The Kuramoto model and its generalizations have been broadly employed to characterize and mechanistically understand various collective dynamical phenomena, especially the emergence of synchrony among coupled oscillators. Despite almost…

We consider an extension of Kuramoto's model of coupled phase oscillators where oscillator pairs interact with different strengths. When the coupling coefficient of each pair can be separated into two different factors, each one associated…

We study a chain of $N+1$ phase oscillators with asymmetric but uniform coupling. This type of chain possesses $2^{N}$ ways to synchronize in so-called travelling wave states, i.e. states where the phases of the single oscillators are in…

We study phase locking in the Kuramoto model of coupled oscillators in the special case where the number of oscillators, $N$, is large but finite, and the oscillators' natural frequencies are evenly spaced on a given interval. In this case,…
