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 propose a Kuramoto model of coupled oscillators on a time-varying graph, whose dynamics is dictated by a Markov process in the space of graphs. The simplest representative is considering a base graph and then the subgraph determined by…

We study the homogeneous Kuramoto model on a graph and the geometry of its underlying optimization landscape $\min_{\boldsymbol \theta \in \mathbb R^n}-\sum_{1\leq i,j\leq n} A_{ij}\cos(\theta_i-\theta_j).$ This problem admits a dual…

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…
