A family of stochastic processes has quasi-cycle oscillations if the oscillations are sustained by noise. For such a family we define a Kuramoto-type coupling of both phase and amplitude processes. We find that synchronization, as measured…

The synchronization phenomenon is ubiquitous in nature. In ensembles of coupled oscillators, explosive synchronization is a particular type of transition to phase synchrony that is first-order as the coupling strength increases. Explosive…

We explore both analytically and numerically an ensemble of coupled phase-oscillators governed by a Kuramoto-type system of differential equations. However, we have included the effects of time-delay (due to finite signal-propagation…
Synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon occurring in social, biological, and technological systems when the internal rhythms of their constituents are adapted to be in unison as a result of their coupling. This natural tendency towards…
We analyze populations of Kuramoto oscillators with a particular distribution of natural frequencies. Inspired by networks where there are two groups of nodes with opposite behaviors, as for instance in power-grids where energy is either…
