Nonstationary coherence-incoherence patterns in nonlocally coupled heterogeneous phase oscillators
- We consider a large ring of nonlocally coupled phase oscillators and show that apart from stationary chimera states, this system also supports nonstationary coherence-incoherence patterns (CIPs). For identical oscillators, these CIPs behave as breathing chimera states and are found in a relatively small parameter region only. It turns out that the stability region of these states enlarges dramatically if a certain amount of spatially uniform heterogeneity (e.g., Lorentzian distribution of natural frequencies) is introduced in the system. In this case, nonstationary CIPs can be studied as stable quasiperiodic solutions of a corresponding mean-field equation, formally describing the infinite system limit. Carrying out direct numerical simulations of the mean-field equation, we find different types of nonstationary CIPs with pulsing and/or alternating chimera-like behavior. Moreover, we reveal a complex bifurcation scenario underlying the transformation of these CIPs into each other. These theoretical predictions are confirmed byWe consider a large ring of nonlocally coupled phase oscillators and show that apart from stationary chimera states, this system also supports nonstationary coherence-incoherence patterns (CIPs).
