Coalescence in coupled DulTing oscillators

The forced Duffing oscillator has a pair of symmetrical attractors in a proper parameter regime. When a lot of Duffing oscillators are coupled linearly, the system tends to form dusters in which the neighboring oscillators fall onto the same attractor. When the coupling strength is strong, all of the oscillators fall onto one attractor. In this work, we investigate coalescence in the coupled forced Duffing oscillators. Some phenomena are found and explanations are presented.     

Synchronization in Coupled Oscillators with Two Coexisting Attractors

Dynamics in coupled Dufling oscillators with two coexisting symmetrical attractors is investigated. For a pair of Dufl~ng oscillators coupled linearly, the transition to the synchronization generally consists of two steps： Firstly, the two oscillators have to jump onto a same attractor, then they reach synchronization similarly to coupled monostable oscillators. The transition scenarios to the synchronization observed are strongly dependent on initial conditions.

Dynamics of the Kuramoto Model with Bimodal Frequency Distribution on Complex Networks

We introduce a piecewise uniform frequency distribution to model a symmetrical bimodal natural frequency distribution and investigate the dynamics in the Kuramoto model on complex networks. We find that the scenario of the synchronization transition depends on the network topology. For an ER network, the incoherent state, standing wave states and stationary synchronous states are encountered successively with the increase of the coupling strength. However, for an SF network, there exists another type of synchronous states, traveling wave states, between the standing wave states and the stationary synchronous states.

Conformists and Contrarians in a Kuramoto Model with Uniformly Distributed Natural Frequencies

A generalization of the Kuramoto model in which oscillators are coupled to the mean field with random signs is investigated in this work. We focus on a situation in which the natural frequencies of oscillators follow a uniform probability density. By numerically simulating the model, we find that the model supports a modulated travelling wave state except for already reported π state and travelling wave state in the one with natural frequencies followingLorenztian probability density or a delta function. The dependence of the observed dynamics on the parameters of the model is explored and we find that the onset of synchronization in the model displays a non-monotonic dependence on both positive and negative coupling strength.     

Four-cluster chimera state in non-locally coupled phase oscillator systems with an external potential

Dynamics of a one-dimensional array of non-locally coupled Kuramoto phase oscillators with an external potential is studied. A four-cluster chimera state is observed for the moderate strength of the external potential. Different from the clustered chimera states studied before, the instantaneous frequencies of the oscillators in a synchronized cluster are different in the presence of the external potential. As the strength of the external potential increases, a bifurcation from the two-cluster chimera state to the four-cluster chimera states can be found. These phenomena are well predicted analytically with the help of the Ott-Antonsen ansatz.     

Chaos Synchronization in Complex Networks

We employ several simple numerical experiments to show that the statements that short mean path length or low heterogeneity enhances synchronizability in complex networks could be misleading. Furthermore, we point out that the impacts of the structural parameters on the synchronizability are complicated even if we could change one structural parameter independently.     

Noise-Mediated Generalized Synchronization

We investigate a drive-response system by considering the impacts of noise on generalized synchronization （GS）. It is found that a small amount of noise can turn the system from desynchronization to the GS state in the resonant case no matter how noise is injected into the system. In the non-resonant case, noise with intensity in a certain range is helpful in building GS only when the noise is injected to the driving system. The mechanism behind the observed phenomena is discussed.
