Chimera states in heterogeneous networks

Open access

Abstract

Chimera states in networks of coupled oscillators occur when some fraction of the oscillators synchronize with one another, while the remaining oscillators are incoherent. Several groups have studied chimerae in networks of identical oscillators, but here we study these states in heterogeneous models for which the natural frequencies of the oscillators are chosen from a distribution. For a model consisting of two subnetworks, we obtain exact results by reduction to a finite set of differential equations, and for a network of oscillators in a ring, we generalize known results. We find that heterogeneity can destroy chimerae, destroy all states except chimerae, or destabilize chimerae in Hopf bifurcations, depending on the form of the heterogeneity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
