We consider chimera states in a one-dimensional medium of nonlinear nonlocally coupled phase oscillators. Stationary inhomogeneous solutions of the Ott-Antonsen equation for a complex order parameter that correspond to fundamental chimeras have been constructed. Stability calculations reveal that only some of these states are stable. The direct numerical simulation has shown that these structures under certain conditions are transformed to breathing chimera regimes because of the development of instability. Further development of instability leads to turbulent chimeras.
We study the dynamics of the ring of identical phase oscillators with nonlinear nonlocal coupling. Using the Ott - Antonsen approach, the problem is formulated as a system of partial derivative equations for the local complex order parameter. In this framework, we investigate the existence and stability of twisted states. Both fully coherent and partially coherent stable twisted states were found (the latter ones for the first time for identical oscillators). We show that twisted states can be stable starting from a certain critical value of the medium length, or on a length segment. The analytical results are confirmed with direct numerical simulations in finite ensembles.
