In this short note, we discuss the basin of attractions for many Kuramoto oscillators with unidirectional couplings. For attractive and repulsive couplings, we present proper subsets for the basin of attractions, which are independent of the number of oscillators.

We analyse the nonlinear Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation to develop an accurate finite difference approximation to its dynamics. The analysis is based upon centre manifold theory so we are assured that the finite difference model accurately models the dynamics and may be constructed systematically. The theory is applied after dividing the physical domain into small elements by introducing insulat...

We consider the Kuramoto model of globally coupled phase oscillators subject to Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and non-Gaussian colored noise and investigate the influence of noise on the order parameter of the synchronization process. We use numerical methods to study the dependence of the threshold as well as the maximum degree of synchronization on the correlation time and the strength of the noise, and...

We present a computational study of a simple finite-dimensional feedback control algorithm for stabilizing solutions of infinite-dimensional dissipative evolution equations such as reaction-diffusion systems, the Navier-Stokes equations and the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. This feedback control scheme takes advantage of the fact that such systems possess finite number of determining parameter...

We analyze the periodically forced Kuramoto model. This system consists of an infinite population of phase oscillators with random intrinsic frequencies, global sinusoidal coupling, and external sinusoidal forcing. It represents an idealization of many phenomena in physics, chemistry, and biology in which mutual synchronization competes with forced synchronization. In other words, the oscillato...

The damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation has emerged as a fundamental tool for the understanding of the onset and evolution of secondary instabilities in a wide range of physical phenomena. Most existing studies about this equation deal with its asymptotic states on one-dimensional settings or on periodic square domains. We utilize a large-scale numerical simulation to investigate the asymptoti...

The importance of networks of coupled oscillators is widely recognized. Such networks occur in biological systems like the heart, in chemical systems, in computational problems, and in engineering systems. Systems of coupled oscillators can also be used as an abstract model for synchronisation in organisations. Here we show that synchronisability in a specific coupledoscillator model, the Kuram...

Maintaining the stability of synchronization state is crucial for the functioning of many natural and artificial systems. In this study, we develop methods to optimize the synchronization stability of the Kuramoto model by minimizing the dominant Lyapunov exponent. Using the recently proposed cut-set space approximation of the steady states, we greatly simplify the objective function, and furth...

We present a complete classification of attractors for networks of coupled identical Kuramoto oscillators. In such networks, each oscillator is driven by the same first-order trigonometric function, with coefficients given by symmetric functions of the entire oscillator ensemble. For [Formula: see text] oscillators, there are four possible types of attractors: completely synchronized fixed poin...

We propose a dynamical gradient network approach to consider the synchronization in the Kuramoto model. Our scheme to adaptively adjust couplings is based on the dynamical gradient networks, where the number of links in each time interval is the same as the number of oscillators, but the links in different time intervals are also different. The gradient network in the (n+1)th time interval is d...
