Synchronization of globally-coupled phase oscillators: singularities and scaling for general couplings
نویسنده
چکیده
The onset of collective behavior in a population of globally coupled oscillators with randomly distributed frequencies is studied for phase dynamical models with arbitrary coupling; the effect of a stochastic temporal variation in the frequencies is also included. The Fokker-Planck equation for the coupled Langevin system is reduced to a kinetic equation for the oscillator distribution function. Instabilities of the phase-incoherent state are studied by center manifold reduction to the amplitude dynamics of the unstable modes. Depending on the coupling, the coefficients in the normal form can be singular in the limit of weak instability when the diffusive effect of the noise is neglected. A detailed analysis of these singularities to all orders in the normal form expansion is presented. Physically, the singularities are interpreted as predicting an altered scaling of the entrained component near the onset of synchronization. keywords: oscillators, bifurcation, symmetry

Exact solutions and dynamics of globally coupled phase oscillators
Exact solutions and dynamics of globally coupled phase oscillators 2 Abstract. We analyze mean-field models of synchronization of phase oscillators with singular couplings and subject to external random forces. They are related to the Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model. Their probability densities satisfy local partial differential equations similar to the Porous Medium, Burgers and extended Burgers equa...
متن کاملScaling and singularities in the entrainment of globally coupled oscillators.
The onset of collective behavior in a population of globally coupled oscillators with randomly distributed frequencies is studied for phase dynamical models with arbitrary coupling. The population is described by a Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution of phases which includes the diffusive effect of noise in the oscillator frequencies. The bifurcation from the phase-incoherent state is a...
متن کاملScaling and synchronization in a ring of diffusively coupled nonlinear oscillators.
Chaos synchronization in a ring of diffusively coupled nonlinear oscillators driven by an external identical oscillator is studied. Based on numerical simulations we show that by introducing additional couplings at (mN(c)+1)-th oscillators in the ring, where m is an integer and N(c) is the maximum number of synchronized oscillators in the ring with a single coupling, the maximum number of oscil...
متن کاملSynchronization of two delayed coupled neurons in presence of inhomogeneity
In principle coupled oscillators can overcome mismatch in intrinsic firing rates and match their frequencies, but with a nonzero phase lag. Delay in communication, on the other hand, can exert phase shifts in the concerted activity of the coupled oscillators. In this study, we address the question of how synchronization can be achieved for a two neurons system, in presence of mismatch and delay...
متن کاملNoise-induced synchronization of a large population of globally coupled nonidentical oscillators.
We study a large population of globally coupled phase oscillators subject to common white Gaussian noise and find analytically that the critical coupling strength between oscillators for synchronization transition decreases with an increase in the intensity of common noise. Thus, common noise promotes the onset of synchronization. Our prediction is confirmed by numerical simulations of the phas...
