Three approximations are considered: (i) the Ott-Antonsen ansatz, (ii) the Gaussian ansatz, and (iii) a two-cumulant truncation of the circular cumulant representation of the original system's dynamics. For the latter, we suggest a closure, which makes the truncation, for small noise, a rigorous first-order correction to the Ott-Antonsen ansatz, and simultaneously is a generalization of the Gaussian ansatz. The Kuramoto model with intrinsic noise and the population of identical noisy active rotators in excitable states with the Kuramoto-type coupling are considered as examples to test the validity of these approximations. For all considered cases, the Gaussian ansatz is found to be more accurate than the Ott-Antonsen one for high-synchrony states only. The two-cumulant approximation is always superior to both other approximations. Synchrony of large ensembles of coupled elements can be characterised by the order parameters—the mean fields. Quite often, the evolution of these collective variables is surprisingly simple, which makes a description with only a few order parameters feasible. Thus, one tries to construct accurate closed low-dimensional mathematical models for the dynamics of the first few order parameters. These models represent useful tools for gaining insight into the underlaying mechanisms of some more sophisticated collective phenomena: for example, one describes coupled populations by virtue of coupled equations for the relevant order parameters. A regular approach to the construction of closed low-dimensional systems is also beneficial for dealing with phenomena, which are beyond the applicability scope of these models; for instance, with such an approach, one can determine constraints on clustering in populations. There are two prominent types of situations, where the low-dimensional models can be constructed: (i) for a certain class of ideal paradigmatic systems of coupled phase oscillators, the Ott-Antonsen ansatz yields an exact equation for the main order parameter and (ii) the Gaussian approximation for the probability density of the phases, also yielding a low-dimensional closure, is frequently quite accurate. In this paper, we compare applications of these two model reductions for situations, where neither of them is perfectly accurate.

These approaches provide also analytical criteria distinguishing supercritical and subcritical transitions to the desynchronized state and indicate the universality of such transitions in rotator ensembles. All the obtained analytical results are confirmed by the numerical ones, both by direct simulations of the large ensembles and by solution of the associated Fokker-Planck equation. We also propose generalizations of the developed approaches for setups where different rotators parameters (natural frequencies, masses, noise intensities, strengths and phase shifts in coupling) are dispersed.}, language = {en} } @article{MunyaevSmirnovKostinetal.2020, author = {Munyaev, Vyacheslav and Smirnov, Lev A. and Kostin, Vasily and Osipov, Grigory V. and Pikovskij, Arkadij}, title = {Analytical approach to synchronous states of globally coupled noisy rotators}, series = {New Journal of Physics}, volume = {22}, journal = {New Journal of Physics}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer Science}, address = {New York}, pages = {15}, year = {2020}, abstract = {We study populations of globally coupled noisy rotators (oscillators with inertia) allowing a nonequilibrium transition from a desynchronized state to a synchronous one (with the nonvanishing order parameter).
