Real-world systems in epidemiology, social sciences, power transportation, economics and engineering are often described as multilayer networks. Here we first define and compute the symmetries of multilayer networks, and then study the…
Networks of interacting nodes connected by edges arise in almost every branch of scientific enquiry. The connectivity structure of the network can force the existence of invariant subspaces, which would not arise in generic dynamical…
Oscillators coupled in a network can synchronize with each other to yield a coherent population rhythm. If multiple such networks are coupled together, the question arises whether these rhythms will synchronize. We investigate the impact of…
We identify a new type of pattern formation in spatially distributed active systems. We simulate one-dimensional two-component systems with predator-prey local interaction and pursuit-evasion taxis between the components. In a sufficiently…
Coupled distinct arrays of nonlinear oscillators have been shown to have a regime of high frequency, or ultra-harmonic, oscillations that are at multiples of the natural frequency of individual oscillators. The coupled array architectures…
Azimuthal instabilities occur in rotationally symmetric systems, either as spinning (rotating) waves or standing waves. We make use of a novel ansatz to derive a differential equation characterizing the state of these instabilities in terms…
We discovered an oscillatory instability in a system of inelastically colliding hard spheres, driven by two opposite "thermal" walls at zero gravity. The instability, predicted by a linear stability analysis of the equations of granular…
We treat $n$-dimensional piecewise-linear continuous maps with two pieces, each of which has exactly one unstable direction, and identify an explicit set of sufficient conditions for the existence of a chaotic attractor. The conditions…
We examine the design of the entrainment process for an uncountably infinite collection of coupled phase oscillators that are all subject to the same periodic driving signal. In the absence of coupling, an appropriately designed input can…
Networked dynamical systems are common throughout science in engineering; e.g., biological networks, reaction networks, power systems, and the like. For many such systems, nonlinearity drives populations of identical (or near-identical)…
Regardless of the marked differences between biological and artificial neural systems, one fundamental similarity is that they are essentially dynamical systems that can learn to imitate other dynamical systems, without knowing their…
We consider a population of globally coupled oscillators driven by common noise. By applying the Ott-Antonsen ansatz and by averaging over the fast oscillations, we obtain analytically tractable equations for the noisy evolution of the…
We identify the mechanism behind the existence of intensity induced chimera states in globally coupled oscillators. We find that the effect of intensity in the system is to cause multistability by increasing the number of fixed points. This…
Phase-locked states with a constant phase shift between the neighboring oscillators are studied in rings of identical Kuramoto oscillators with time-delayed nearest-neighbor coupling. The linear stability of these states is derived and it…
We study the phenomenon of cluster synchrony that occurs in ensembles of coupled phase oscillators when higher-order modes dominate the coupling between oscillators. For the first time, we develop a complete analytic description of the…

The dynamics of filaments in flow are central to understanding a wide range of biological and soft-matter systems, yet their behavior under time-dependent forcing remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the long-time dynamics of…
In this paper we study cluster synchronization in networks of oscillators with heterogenous Kuramoto dynamics, where multiple groups of oscillators with identical phases coexist in a connected network. Cluster synchronization is at the…
When an oscillator switches abruptly between different frequencies, there is some ambiguity in deciding how the system should be modelled at the switch. Here we describe two seemingly natural models of a switch in a simple…
We study two intertwined globally coupled networks of noisy Kuramoto phase oscillators that have the same natural frequency, but differ in their perception of the mean field and their contribution to it. Such a give-and-take mechanism is…
