Nonlinear oscillations and coupled oscillators for ordinary differential equations (34C15) Synchronization of solutions to ordinary differential equations (34D06)

Abstract: Consider any network of $n$ identical Kuramoto oscillators in which each oscillator is coupled bidirectionally with unit strength to at least $mu(n-1)$ other oscillators. There is a critical value of the connectivity, $m{u}_c$, such that whenever $mu>m{u}_c$, the system is guaranteed to converge to the all-in-phase synchronous state for almost all initial conditions, but when $mu<m{u}_c$, there are networks with other stable states. The precise value of the critical connectivity remains unknown, but it has been conjectured to be $m{u}_c=0.75$. In 2020, Lu and Steinerberger proved that $m{u}_{c}leq0.7889$, and Yoneda, Tatsukawa, and Teramae proved in 2021 that $m{u}_c>0.6838$. In this paper, we prove that $m{u}_{c}leq0.75$ and explain why this is the best upper bound that one can obtain by a purely linear stability analysis.
