PHASE CORRELATION AND CLUSTERING OF A NEAREST NEIGHBOR COUPLED OSCILLATORS SYSTEM

From MaRDI portal





The author studies synchronization properties of the nearest neighbor coupled oscillators of the form \[ \dot \theta_i = \omega_i + \tfrac{k}{3} [ \sin (\theta_{i+1}-\theta_i) + \sin (\theta_{i-1}-\theta_i) ], \] where \(i=1,\dots,N\), and \(k\) is the coupling strength. The periodic boundary condition \(\theta_{i+N}(t)=\theta_i(t)\) is used. Particular attention is paid to the phases of each oscillator before the complete synchronization of time-averaged frequencies occurs, i.e., at the stages of clusters formation. The order parameter, which is used in order to express the correlation between phases on the average, has the form \[ \Psi_{n_c} = \frac{1}{n_c} \left| \sum_{j=1}^{n_c} e^{i \langle \theta_j \rangle} \right| . \] Here, \(n_c\) is the number of oscillators in a cluster of the same average frequency, and \(\langle \theta_j \rangle\) is the time-average of the phases of the oscillators in the cluster \(n_c\). The behavior of the order parameter \(\Psi_{n_c}\) is investigated for a large range of coupling parameter values.
