Phase transitions in an adaptive network with the global order parameter adaptation.

We consider an adaptive network of Kuramoto oscillators with purely dyadic coupling, where the adaption is proportional to the degree of the global order parameter. We find only the continuous transition to synchronization via the pitchfork bifurcation, an abrupt synchronization (desynchronization) transition via the pitchfork (saddle-node) bifurcation resulting in the bistable region R_{1}. This is a smooth continuous transition to a weakly synchronized state via the pitchfork bifurcation followed by a subsequent abrupt transition to a strongly synchronized state via a second saddle-node bifurcation along with an abrupt desynchronization transition via the first saddle-node bifurcation resulting in the bistable region R_{2} between the weak and strong synchronization.

Multistable chimera states in a smallest population of three coupled oscillators.

We uncover the emergence of distinct sets of multistable chimera states in addition to chimera death and synchronized states in a smallest population of three globally coupled oscillators with mean-field diffusive coupling. Sequence of torus bifurcations result in the manifestation of distinct periodic orbits as a function of the coupling strength, which in turn result in the genesis of distinct chimera states constituted by two synchronized oscillators coexisting with an asynchronous oscillator. Two subsequent Hopf bifurcations result in homogeneous and inhomogeneous steady states resulting in desynchronized steady states and chimera death state among the coupled oscillators.

Abrupt symmetry-preserving transition from the chimera state.

We consider two populations of the globally coupled Sakaguchi-Kuramoto model with the same intra- and interpopulations coupling strengths. The oscillators constituting the intrapopulation are identical whereas the interpopulations are nonidentical with a frequency mismatch. The asymmetry parameters ensure the permutation symmetry among the oscillators constituting the intrapopulation and a reflection symmetry among the oscillators constituting the interpopulation.

Quenching of oscillation by the limiting factor of diffusively coupled oscillators.

A simple limiting factor in the intrinsic variable of the normal diffusive coupling is known to facilitate the phenomenon of reviving of oscillation [Zou et al., Nat. Commun.

Influence of asymmetric parameters in higher-order coupling with bimodal frequency distribution.

We investigate the phase diagram of the Sakaguchi-Kuramoto model with a higher-order interaction along with the traditional pairwise interaction. We also introduce asymmetry parameters in both the interaction terms and investigate the collective dynamics and their transitions in the phase diagrams under both unimodal and bimodal frequency distributions. We deduce the evolution equations for the macroscopic order parameters and eventually derive pitchfork and Hopf bifurcation curves.
