Resumo

Networks of phase oscillators have become a widely established paradigmatic model for studying emergent collective behavior across several real-world systems, including neuronal networks, populations of chemical oscillators, and power grids. The Kuramoto model, involving one-dimensional or two-dimensional phase oscillators, demonstrates the potential for networks to showcase exceptional collective dynamics. This encompasses various outcomes such as full, partial, explosive, and asymmetry-induced synchronization, clusters, chimeras, solitary states, and generalized splay states. Notably, increasing all-to-all coupling in the classical Kuramoto model induces full synchronization as the most probable outcome and dominant rhythm. Kuramoto networks with repulsive coupling usually display splay, generalized, and cluster splay states, but the conditions under which a certain rhythm can arise and prevail are not entirely understood.

Equally important for connecting Kuramoto networks to practical physical systems is understanding the function of higher-order coupling terms. These terms display a Fourier decomposition of a general 2π-periodic interaction function [1]. Previous studies have demonstrated that the inclusion of higher-order terms in the classical Kuramoto model of oscillators with all-to-all attractive coupling can lead to multiple synchronous states and switching between synchronization clusters. However, the impact of higher-order coupling modes on rhythm generation in repulsive networks remains unexplored.

In this work, we present significant progress in addressing the critical issue related to repulsive Kuramoto–Sakaguchi networks of phase oscillators with phase-lagged first-order and higher-order coupling. We demonstrate that weakly repulsive networks of even and odd numbers of oscillators with first-order coupling are dominated by two-cluster and three-cluster splay states, respectively. The three-cluster splay states consist of two distinct coherent clusters and one solitary oscillator. These tripod states can be considered a fusion of a two-body chimera and a solitary state. We have dubbed these patterns of three oscillators as “Cyclops states” in reference to the Greek mythological giant with a single eye. The solitary oscillator and synchronous clusters respectively represent the Cyclops’ eye and shoulders. We present a remarkable discovery that the inclusion of higher-order coupling modes leads to worldwide stability of cyclops states across almost the entire range of the phase-lag parameter controlling repulsion [2].

Beyond the Kuramoto oscillators, we demonstrate the robust presence of this effect in networks of canonical theta-neurons with adaptive coupling. Furthermore, our results provide insight into identifying dominant rhythms within repulsive physical and biological networks.
