TY - JOUR A1 - Bordyugov, Grigory A1 - Pikovskij, Arkadij A1 - Rosenblum, Michael T1 - Self-emerging and turbulent chimeras in oscillator chains N2 - We report on a self-emerging chimera state in a homogeneous chain of nonlocally and nonlinearly coupled oscillators. This chimera, i.e., a state with coexisting regions of complete and partial synchrony, emerges via a supercritical bifurcation from a homogeneous state. We develop a theory of chimera based on the Ott-Antonsen equations for the local complex order parameter. Applying a numerical linear stability analysis, we also describe the instability of the chimera and transition to phase turbulence with persistent patches of synchrony.
