Many studies of synchronization properties of coupled oscillators, based on the classical Kuramoto approach, focus on ensembles coupled via a mean field. Here we introduce a setup of Kuramoto-type phase oscillators coupled via two mean…
Chimera states -- named after the mythical beast with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a dragon's tail -- correspond to spatiotemporal patterns characterised by the coexistence of coherent and incoherent domains in coupled systems. They…
We show how solitary states in a system of globally coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators can lead to the emergence of chimera states. By a numerical bifurcation analysis of a suitable reduced system in the thermodynamic limit we demonstrate…
Chimeras occur in networks of two coupled populations of oscillators when the oscillators in one population synchronise while those in the other are asynchronous. We consider chimeras of this form in networks of planar oscillators for which…
The behaviors of coupled oscillators, each of which has periodic motion with random natural frequency in the absence of coupling, are investigated. Some novel collective phenomena are revealed. At the onset of instability of the…
Chimera states are among the most intriguing phenomena in nonlinear dynamics, characterized by the coexistence of coherent and incoherent behavior in systems of coupled identical oscillators. Many methods have been proposed to detect…
Chimera states are complex spatio-temporal patterns that consist of coexisting domains of spatially coherent and incoherent dynamics. This counterintuitive phenomenon was first observed in systems of identical oscillators with symmetric…
We investigate the occurrence of collective dynamical states such as transient amplitude chimera, stable amplitude chimera and imperfect breathing chimera states in a \textit{locally coupled} network of Stuart-Landau oscillators. In an…
Yes! Very much so. A chimera state refers to the coexistence of a coherent-incoherent dynamical evolution of identically coupled oscillators. We investigate the impact of multiplexing of a lyer having repulsively coupled oscillators on…
We present results obtained for a network of four delay-coupled lasers modelled by Lang-Kobayashi-type equations. We find small chimera states consisting of a pair of synchronized lasers and two unsynchronized lasers. One class of these…
Discovered numerically by Kuramoto and Battogtokh in 2002, chimera states are spatiotemporal patterns in which regions of coherence and incoherence coexist. These mathematical oddities were recently reproduced in a laboratory setting…
The question under which conditions oscillators with slightly different frequencies synchronize appears in various settings. We show that synchronization can be achieved even for harmonic oscillators that are bilinearly coupled via a purely…
The instability of mixing in the Kuramoto model of coupled phase oscillators is the key to understanding a range of spatiotemporal patterns, which feature prominently in collective dynamics of systems ranging from neuronal networks, to…
From rhythmic physiological processes to the collective behaviors of technological and natural networks, coherent phases of interacting oscillators are the foundation of the events' coordination leading a system to behave cooperatively. We…
We report the appearance of a scroll ring and scroll toroid chimera states from the proposed initial conditions for the Kuramoto model of coupled phase oscillators in the 3D grid topology with inertia. The proposed initial conditions…

We investigate spatio-temporal dynamics of a 2D ensemble of nonlocally coupled chaotic cubic maps in a bistability regime. In particular, we perform a detailed study on the transition "coherence -- incoherence" for varying coupling strength…
We numerically investigate the onset of multi-chimera states in a linear array of coupled oscillators. As the phase delay $\alpha$ is increased, they exhibit a continuous transition from the globally synchronized state to the multichimera…
By developing the concepts of strength of incoherence and discontinuity measure, we show that a distinct quantitative characterization of chimera and multichimera states which occur in networks of coupled nonlinear dynamical systems…
Since its discovery in 2002, the chimera state has frequently been described as a counter-intuitive, puzzling phenomenon. The Kuramoto model, in contrast, has become a celebrated paradigm useful for understanding a range of phenomena…
