Chimeras with multiple coherent regions.

We study chimeric states in a coupled phase oscillator system with piecewise linear nonlocal coupling. By modifying the details of the coupling, it is possible to obtain multiple chimeric states with a specified number of coherent regions and with specified phase relationships. The case of a two-component chimera is illustrated and the generalization to arbitrary chimeric configurations is discussed. The phase relations between the two clusters of phase oscillators is described in some detail.
