Emergence of Collective Behavior in Coupled Oscillator Systems
Abstract
Systems of coupled oscillators show a variety of collective dynamical regimes. We present a collection of such nonlinear phenomena, including non-universal transitions to synchrony in globally coupled oscillators, self-organized patterns of coherence and incoherence, called "chimera states" in spatially extended systems, and the emergence of macroscopic spatio-temporal chaos in such systems.
