- ItemStability of spiral chimera states on a torus(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Omelchenko, Oleh E.; Wolfrum, Matthias; Knobloch, EdgarWe study destabilization mechanisms of spiral coherence-incoherence patterns known as spiral chimera states that form on a two-dimensional lattice of nonlocally coupled phase oscillators. For this purpose we employ the linearization of the OttAntonsen equation that is valid in the continuum limit and perform a detailed two-parameter stability analysis of a D4-symmetric chimera state, i.e., a four-core spiral state. We identify fold, Hopf and parity-breaking bifurcations as the main mechanisms whereby spiral chimeras can lose stability. Beyond these bifurcations we find new spatio-temporal patterns, in particular, quasiperiodic chimeras, D2-symmetric spiral chimeras as well as drifting states.
