Synchronization of clocks

M Kapitaniak, K Czolczynski, P Perlikowski, A Stefanski… - Physics Reports, 2012 - Elsevier
In this report we recall the famous Huygens' experiment which gave the first evidence of the
synchronization phenomenon. We consider the synchronization of two clocks which are …

Low dimensional behavior of large systems of globally coupled oscillators

E Ott, TM Antonsen - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear …, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
It is shown that, in the infinite size limit, certain systems of globally coupled phase oscillators
display low dimensional dynamics. In particular, we derive an explicit finite set of nonlinear …

Long time evolution of phase oscillator systems

It is shown, under weak conditions, that the dynamical evolution of large systems of globally
coupled phase oscillators with Lorentzian distributed oscillation frequencies is, in an …

Exact results for the Kuramoto model with a bimodal frequency distribution

EA Martens, E Barreto, SH Strogatz, E Ott, P So… - Physical Review E …, 2009 - APS
We analyze a large system of globally coupled phase oscillators whose natural frequencies
are bimodally distributed. The dynamics of this system has been the subject of long-standing …

Identical phase oscillators with global sinusoidal coupling evolve by Möbius group action

SA Marvel, RE Mirollo, SH Strogatz - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary …, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
Systems of N identical phase oscillators with global sinusoidal coupling are known to
display low-dimensional dynamics. Although this phenomenon was first observed about 20 …

Stability diagram for the forced Kuramoto model

LM Childs, SH Strogatz - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of …, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
We analyze the periodically forced Kuramoto model. This system consists of an infinite
population of phase oscillators with random intrinsic frequencies, global sinusoidal coupling …

Large coupled oscillator systems with heterogeneous interaction delays

WS Lee, E Ott, TM Antonsen - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
In order to discover generic effects of heterogeneous communication delays on the
dynamics of large systems of coupled oscillators, this Letter studies a modification of the …

Continuous versus Discontinuous Transitions in the -Dimensional Generalized Kuramoto Model: Odd is Different

S Chandra, M Girvan, E Ott - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
The Kuramoto model, originally proposed to model the dynamics of many interacting
oscillators, has been used and generalized for a wide range of applications involving the …

Dynamics of heterogeneous oscillator ensembles in terms of collective variables

A Pikovsky, M Rosenblum - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2011 - Elsevier
We consider general heterogeneous ensembles of phase oscillators, sine coupled to
arbitrary external fields. Starting with the infinitely large ensembles, we extend the Watanabe …
