多重耦合振子系统的同步动力学

耦合相振子的同步研究对理解复杂系统自组织协同的涌现具有重要的理论意义.相比于传统耦合振子的两体成对耦合,多重耦合近年来得到广泛的关注.当相振子间的多重耦合机制起主要作用时,系统会涌现一系列去同步突变,这一新颖的动力学特性对理解复杂系统群体动力学提供了重要的理论启示.本文研究了平均场的三重耦合Kuramoto系统的同步动力学,发现了去同步转变具有不可逆性,并利用平均场自洽方法和无序态线性稳定性分析揭示了不可逆去同步突变的动力学机制.进一步研究发现,随着振子自然频率分布半宽度的变化,系统会经历一系列去同步驻波态的转变.在相变临界点,系统在高维相空间会通过鞍结分岔导致同步态失稳而塌缩至稳定的低维不变环面.本文的研究揭示了多重耦合函数作用的振子系统的各种协同态及其相变机制,同时可为理解其他复杂系统(如超网络结构)协同态的动力学转变提供理论借鉴.

耦合相振子系统同步的序参量理论

节律行为,即系统行为呈现随时间的周期变化,在我们的周围随处可见.不同节律之间可以通过相互影响、相互作用产生自组织,其中同步是最典型、最直接的有序行为,它也是非线性波、斑图、集群行为等的物理内在机制.不同的节律可以用具有不同频率的振子(极限环)来刻画,它们之间的同步可以用耦合极限环系统的动力学来加以研究.微观动力学表明,随着耦合强度增强,振子同步伴随着动力学状态空间降维到一个低维子空间,该空间由序参量来描述.序参量的涌现及其所描述的宏观动力学行为可借助于协同学与流形理论等降维思想来进行.本文从统计物理学的角度讨论了耦合振子系统序参量涌现的几种降维方案,并对它们进行了对比分析.序参量理论可有效应用于耦合振子系统的同步自组织与相变现象的分析,通过进一步研究序参量的动力学及其分岔行为,可以对复杂系统的涌现动力学有更为深刻的理解.     

簇间连接方式不同的簇网络的同步过程研究

本文对簇间连接方式不同的三类簇网络的同步能力和同步过程进行研究. 构成簇网络的两个子网均为BA无标度网络, 当簇间连接方式是双向耦合时, 称其为TWD网络模型, 当簇间连接是大子网驱动小子网时, 称其为BDS网络模型, 当簇间连接是小子网驱动大子网时, 称其为SDB网络模型. 研究表明, 当小子网和大子网节点数目的比值大于某一临界值时, TWD网络模型的同步能力大于BDS网络模型的同步能力, 当该比值小于某一临界值时, TWD网络模型的同步能力小于BDS网络模型的同步能力, SDB网络模型的同步能力是三种网络结构中最差的. 对于簇间连接具有方向性的单向驱动网络, 簇网络的整体同步能力与被驱动子网的节点数和簇间连接数有关, 与驱动网络自身节点数无关. 增加簇间连接数在开始时会降低各子网的同步速度, 但最终各子网到达完全同步的时间减少, 网络的整体同步能力增强. 文中以Kuramoto相振子作为网络节点, 研究了不同情况下三种簇网络的同步过程, 证明了所得结论的正确性. 关键词： 簇网络 有向连接 同步能力 Kuramoto振子     

强耦合混沌系统中的近似同步

Stability of incoherence in a population of coupled oscillators

We analyze a mean-field model of coupled oscillators with randomly distributed frequencies. This system is known to exhibit a transition to collective oscillations: for small coupling, the system is incoherent, with all the oscillators running at their natural frequencies, but when the coupling exceeds a certain threshold, the system spontaneously synchronizes. We obtain the first rigorous stability results for this model by linearizing the Fokker-Planck equation about the incoherent state. An unexpected result is that the system has pathological stability properties: the incoherent state is unstable above threshold, butneutrally stable below threshold. We also show that the system is singular in the sense that its stability properties are radically altered by infinitesimal noise.     

Desynchronization transitions in nonlinearly coupled phase oscillators

We consider the nonlinear extension of the Kuramoto model of globally coupled phase oscillators where the phase shift in the coupling function depends on the order parameter. A bifurcation analysis of the transition from fully synchronous state to partial synchrony is performed. We demonstrate that for small ensembles it is typically mediated by stable cluster states, that disappear with creation of heteroclinic cycles, while for a larger number of oscillators a direct transition from full synchrony to a periodic or a quasiperiodic regime occurs.     

Entangled chimeras in nonlocally coupled bicomponent phase oscillators: From synchronous to asynchronous chimeras

Chimera states, a symmetry-breaking spatiotemporal pattern in nonlocally coupled identical dynamical units, have been identified in various systems and generalized to coupled nonidentical oscillators. It has been shown that strong heterogeneity in the frequencies of nonidentical oscillators might be harmful to chimera states. In this work, we consider a ring of nonlocally coupled bicomponent phase oscillators in which two types of oscillators are randomly distributed along the ring: some oscillators with natural frequency ω₁ and others with ω₂ . In this model, the heterogeneity in frequency is measured by frequency mismatch |ω₁−ω₂| between the oscillators in these two subpopulations. We report that the nonlocally coupled bicomponent phase oscillators allow for chimera states no matter how large the frequency mismatch is. The bicomponent oscillators are composed of two chimera states, one supported by oscillators with natural frequency ω₁ and the other by oscillators with natural frequency ω₂. The two chimera states in two subpopulations are synchronized at weak frequency mismatch, in which the coherent oscillators in them share similar mean phase velocity, and are desynchronized at large frequency mismatch, in which the coherent oscillators in different subpopulations have distinct mean phase velocities. The synchronization–desynchronization transition between chimera states in these two subpopulations is observed with the increase in the frequency mismatch. The observed phenomena are theoretically analyzed by passing to the continuum limit and using the Ott-Antonsen approach.     

Intermittent lag synchronization in a driven system of coupled oscillators

We study intermittent lag synchronization in a system of two identical mutually coupled Duffing oscillators with parametric modulation in one of them. This phenomenon in a periodically forced system can be seen as intermittent jump from phase to lag synchronization, during which the chaotic trajectory visits a periodic orbit closely. We demonstrate different types of intermittent lag synchronizations, that occur in the vicinity of saddle-node bifurcations where the system changes its dynamical state, and characterize the simplest case of period-one intermittent lag synchronization.     

Chimera dynamics in nonlocally coupled moving phase oscillators

Chimera states, a symmetry-breaking spatiotemporal pattern in nonlocally coupled dynamical units, prevail in a variety of systems. However, the interaction structures among oscillators are static in most of studies on chimera state. In this work, we consider a population of agents. Each agent carries a phase oscillator. We assume that agents perform Brownian motions on a ring and interact with each other with a kernel function dependent on the distance between them. When agents are motionless, the model allows for several dynamical states including two different chimera states (the type-I and the type-II chimeras). The movement of agents changes the relative positions among them and produces perpetual noise to impact on the model dynamics. We find that the response of the coupled phase oscillators to the movement of agents depends on both the phase lag α, determining the stabilities of chimera states, and the agent mobility D. For low mobility, the synchronous state transits to the type-I chimera state for α close to π/2 and attracts other initial states otherwise. For intermediate mobility, the coupled oscillators randomly jump among different dynamical states and the jump dynamics depends on α. We investigate the statistical properties in these different dynamical regimes and present the scaling laws between the transient time and the mobility for low mobility and relations between the mean lifetimes of different dynamical states and the mobility for intermediate mobility.

Periodic synchronization in a system of coupled phase oscillators with attractive and repulsive interactions

In this study we investigate the collective behavior of the generalized Kuramoto model with an external pinning force in which oscillators with positive and negative coupling strengths are conformists and contrarians, respectively. We focus on a situation in which the natural frequencies of the oscillators follow a uniform probability density. By numerically simulating the model, it is shown that the model supports multistable synchronized states such as a traveling wave state, π state and periodic synchronous state: an oscillating π state. The oscillating π state may be characterized by the phase distribution oscillating in a confined region and the phase difference between conformists and contrarians oscillating around π periodically. In addition, we present the parameter space of the oscillating π state and traveling wave state of the model.     

Bifurcation to heteroclinic cycles and sensitivity in three and four coupled phase oscillators

We study the bifurcation and dynamical behaviour of the system of N globally coupled identical phase oscillators introduced by Hansel, Mato and Meunier, in the cases N=3 and N=4. This model has been found to exhibit robust ‘slow switching’ oscillations that are caused by the presence of robust heteroclinic attractors. This paper presents a bifurcation analysis of the system in an attempt to better understand the creation of such attractors. We consider bifurcations that occur in a system of identical oscillators on varying the parameters in the coupling function. These bifurcations preserve the permutation symmetry of the system. We then investigate the implications of these bifurcations for the sensitivity to detuning (i.e. the size of the smallest perturbations that give rise to loss of frequency locking).For N=3 we find three types of heteroclinic bifurcation that are codimension-one with symmetry. On varying two parameters in the coupling function we find three curves giving (a) an S₃-transcritical homoclinic bifurcation, (b) a saddle-node/heteroclinic bifurcation and (c) a Z₃-heteroclinic bifurcation. We also identify several global bifurcations with symmetry that organize the bifurcation diagram; these are codimension-two with symmetry.For N=4 oscillators we determine many (but not all) codimension-one bifurcations with symmetry, including those that lead to a robust heteroclinic cycle. A robust heteroclinic cycle is stable in an open region of parameter space and unstable in another open region. Furthermore, we verify that there is a subregion where the heteroclinic cycle is the only attractor of the system, while for other parts of the phase plane it can coexist with stable limit cycles. We finish with a discussion of bifurcations that appear for this coupling function and general N, as well as for more general coupling functions.     

Glassy synchronization in a population of coupled oscillators

A phase model for a population of oscillators with random excitatory and inhibitory mean-field coupling and subject to external white noise random forces is proposed and studied. In the thermodynamic limit different stable phases for the oscillator population may be found: (i) an incoherent state where all possible values of an oscillator phase are equally probable, (ii) a synchronized state where the population has a nonzero collective phase; (iii) a glassy phase where the global synchronization is zero but the oscillators are in phase with the random disorder; and (iv) a mixed phase where the oscillators are partially synchronized and partially in phase with the disorder. These predictions are based upon bifurcation analysis of the reduced equation valid at the thermodynamic limit and confirmed by Brownian simulation.
