    Basins of attraction of chimera states on networks
    (Lausanne : Frontiers Research Foundation, 2022) Li, Qiang; Larosz, Kelly C.; Han, Dingding; Ji, Peng; Kurths, Jürgen
    Networks of identical coupled oscillators display a remarkable spatiotemporal pattern, the chimera state, where coherent oscillations coexist with incoherent ones. In this paper we show quantitatively in terms of basin stability that stable and breathing chimera states in the original two coupled networks typically have very small basins of attraction. In fact, the original system is dominated by periodic and quasi-periodic chimera states, in strong contrast to the model after reduction, which can not be uncovered by the Ott-Antonsen ansatz. Moreover, we demonstrate that the curve of the basin stability behaves bimodally after the system being subjected to even large perturbations. Finally, we investigate the emergence of chimera states in brain network, through inducing perturbations by stimulating brain regions. The emerged chimera states are quantified by Kuramoto order parameter and chimera index, and results show a weak and negative correlation between these two metrics.

    Chimera states in pulse coupled neural networks: The influence of dilution and noise
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Olmi, Simona; Torcini, Alessandro
    We analyse the possible dynamical states emerging for two symmetrically pulse coupled populations of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons. In particular, we observe broken symmetry states in this set-up: namely, breathing chimeras, where one population is fully synchronized and the other is in a state of partial synchronization (PS) as well as generalized chimera states, where both populations are in PS, but with different levels of synchronization. Symmetric macroscopic states are also present, ranging from quasi-periodic motions, to collective chaos, from splay states to population anti-phase partial synchronization. We then investigate the influence disorder, random link removal or noise, on the dynamics of collective solutions in this model. As a result, we observe that broken symmetry chimeralike states, with both populations partially synchronized, persist up to 80% of broken links and up to noise ︠amplitudes

    Controlling unstable chaos: Stabilizing chimera states by feedback
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Sieber, Jan; Omel'chenko, Oleh; Wolfrum, Matthias
    We present a control scheme that is able to find and stabilize a chaotic saddle in a system with a large number of interacting particles. This allows us to track a high dimensional chaotic attractor through a bifurcation where it loses its attractivity. Similar to classical delayed feedback control, the scheme is non-invasive, however, only in an appropriately relaxed sense considering the chaotic regime as a statistical equilibrium displaying random fluctuations as a finite size effect. We demonstrate the control scheme for so called chimera states, which are coherence-incoherence patterns in coupled oscillator systems. The control makes chimera states observable close to coherence, for small numbers of oscillators, and for random initial conditions.

    Coherence-incoherence patterns in a ring of non-locally coupled phase oscillators
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Omel'chenko, Oleh
    We consider a paradigmatic spatially extended model of non-locally coupled phase oscillators which are uniformly distributed within a one-dimensional interval and interact depending on the distance between their sites modulo periodic boundary conditions. This model can display peculiar spatio-temporal patterns consisting of alternating patches with synchronized (coherent) or irregular (incoherent) oscillator dynamics, hence the name coherence-incoherence pattern, or chimera state. For such patterns we formulate a general bifurcation analysis scheme based on a hierarchy of continuum limit equations. This gives us possibility to classify known coherence-incoherence patterns and to suggest directions for searching new ones

    The mathematics behind chimera states
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Omelchenko, Oleh E.
    Chimera states are self-organized spatiotemporal patterns of coexisting coherence and incoherence. We give an overview of the main mathematical methods used in studies of chimera states, focusing on chimera states in spatially extended coupled oscillator systems. We discuss the continuum limit approach to these states, Ott-Antonsen manifold reduction, finite size chimera states, control of chimera states and the influence of system design on the type of chimera state that is observed.

    Stability of spiral chimera states on a torus
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Omelchenko, Oleh E.; Wolfrum, Matthias; Knobloch, Edgar
    We 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.

    Regular and irregular patterns of self-localized excitation in arrays of coupled phase oscillators
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Wolfrum, Matthias; Omel'chenko, Oleh; Sieber, Jan
    We study a system of phase oscillators with non-local coupling in a ring that supports self-organized patterns of coherence and incoherence, called chimera states. Introducing a global feedback loop, connecting the phase lag to the order parameter, we can observe chimera states also for systems with a small number of oscillators. Numerical simulations show a huge variety of regular and irregular patterns composed of localized phase slipping events of single oscillators. Using methods of classical finite dimensional chaos and bifurcation theory, we can identify the emergence of chaotic chimera states as a result of transitions to chaos via period doubling cascades, torus breakup, and intermittency. We can explain the observed phenomena by a mechanism of self-modulated excitability in a discrete excitable medium.
