Phase compactons
(2006)
We study the phase dynamics of a chain of autonomous, self-sustained, dispersively coupled oscillators. In the quasicontinuum limit the basic discrete model reduces to a Korteveg-de Vries-like equation, but with a nonlinear dispersion. The system supports compactons - solitary waves with a compact support - and kovatons - compact formations of glued together kink-antikink pairs that propagate with a unique speed, but may assume an arbitrary width. We demonstrate that lattice solitary waves, though not exactly compact, have tails which decay at a superexponential rate. They are robust and collide nearly elastically and together with wave sources are the building blocks of the dynamics that emerges from typical initial conditions. In finite lattices, after a long time, the dynamics becomes chaotic. Numerical studies of the complex Ginzburg-Landau lattice show that the non-dispersive coupling causes a damping and deceleration, or growth and acceleration, of compactons. A simple perturbation method is applied to study these effects. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Lai et al. [Phys. Rev. E 62, R29 (2000)] claim that the angular velocity of the phase point moving along the chaotic trajectory in a properly chosen projection (the instantaneous frequency) is intermittent. Using the same examples, namely the Rössler and the Lorenz systems, we show the absence of intermittency in the dynamics of the instantaneous frequency.This is confirmed by demonstrating that the phase dynamics exhibits normal diffusion. We argue that the nonintermittent behavior is generic.
We propose a method for experimental detection of directionality of weak coupling between two self-sustained oscillators from bivariate data. The technique is applicable to both noisy and chaotic systems that can be nonidentical or even structurally different. We introduce an index that quantifies the asymmetry in coupling.
Self-organized partially synchronous dynamics in populations of nonlinearly coupled oscillators
(2009)
We analyze a minimal model of a population of identical oscillators with a nonlinear coupling-a generalization of the popular Kuramoto model. In addition to well-known for the Kuramoto model regimes of full synchrony, full asynchrony, and integrable neutral quasiperiodic states, ensembles of nonlinearly coupled oscillators demonstrate two novel nontrivial types of partially synchronized dynamics: self-organized bunch states and self-organized quasiperiodic dynamics. The analysis based on the Watanabe-Strogatz ansatz allows us to describe the self-organized bunch states in any finite ensemble as a set of equilibria, and the self-organized quasiperiodicity as a two-frequency quasiperiodic regime. An analytic solution in the thermodynamic limit of infinitely many oscillators is also discussed.
We consider general heterogeneous ensembles of phase oscillators, sine coupled to arbitrary external fields. Starting with the infinitely large ensembles, we extend the Watanabe-Strogatz theory, valid for identical oscillators, to cover the case of an arbitrary parameter distribution. The obtained equations yield the description of the ensemble dynamics in terms of collective variables and constants of motion. As a particular case of the general setup we consider hierarchically organized ensembles, consisting of a finite number of subpopulations, whereas the number of elements in a subpopulation can be both finite or infinite. Next, we link the Watanabe-Strogatz and Ott-Antonsen theories and demonstrate that the latter one corresponds to a particular choice of constants of motion. The approach is applied to the standard Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model, to its extension for the case of nonlinear coupling, and to the description of two interacting subpopulations, exhibiting a chimera state. With these examples we illustrate that, although the asymptotic dynamics can be found within the framework of the Ott-Antonsen theory, the transients depend on the constants of motion. The most dramatic effect is the dependence of the basins of attraction of different synchronous regimes on the initial configuration of phases.
In this paper, we discuss recent progress in research of ensembles of mean field coupled oscillators. Without an ambition to present a comprehensive review, we outline most interesting from our viewpoint results and surprises, as well as interrelations between different approaches.

We consider an ensemble of coupled nonlinear noisy oscillators demonstrating in the thermodynamic limit an Ising-type transition. In the ordered phase and for finite ensembles stochastic flips of the mean field are observed with the rate depending on the ensemble size. When a small periodic force acts on the ensemble, the linear response of the system has a maximum at a certain system size, similar to the stochastic resonance phenomenon. We demonstrate this effect of system size resonance for different types of noisy oscillators and for different ensemblesùlattices with nearest neighbors coupling and globally coupled populations. The Ising model is also shown to demonstrate the system size resonance.
