Abstract

Adaptive dynamical networks are ubiquitous in real-world systems. This paper aims to explore the synchronization dynamics in networks of adaptive oscillators based on a paradigmatic system of adaptively coupled phase oscillators. Our numerical observations reveal the emergence of synchronization cluster bursting, characterized by periodic transitions between cluster synchronization and global synchronization. By investigating a reduced model, the mechanisms underlying synchronization cluster bursting are clarified. We show that a minimal model exhibiting this phenomenon can be reduced to a phase oscillator with complex-valued adaptation. Furthermore, the adaptivity of the system leads to the appearance of additional symmetries and thus to the coexistence of stable bursting solutions with very different Kuramoto order parameters.
