Chimeras

F Parastesh, S Jafari, H Azarnoush, Z Shahriari… - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
Chimeras are this year coming of age since they were first observed by Kuramoto and
Battogtokh in 2002 in a one-dimensional network of complex Ginzburg–Landau equations …

Controlling complex networks with complex nodes

RM D'Souza, M di Bernardo, YY Liu - Nature Reviews Physics, 2023 - nature.com
Real-world networks often consist of millions of heterogenous elements that interact at
multiple timescales and length scales. The fields of statistical physics and control theory both …

Chimera states: coexistence of coherence and incoherence in networks of coupled oscillators

MJ Panaggio, DM Abrams - Nonlinearity, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
A chimera state is a spatio-temporal pattern in a network of identical coupled oscillators in
which synchronous and asynchronous oscillation coexist. This state of broken symmetry …

Synchronization patterns and chimera states in complex networks: Interplay of topology and dynamics

E Schöll - The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2016 - Springer
We review chimera patterns, which consist of coexisting spatial domains of coherent
(synchronized) and incoherent (desynchronized) dynamics in networks of identical …

The mathematics behind chimera states

OE Omel'chenko - Nonlinearity, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
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 patterns in networks

A Zakharova - Springer, 2020 - Springer
Synchronization phenomena represent one of the central issues in the modern research, in

Mathematical frameworks for oscillatory network dynamics in neuroscience

P Ashwin, S Coombes, R Nicks - The Journal of Mathematical …, 2016 - Springer
The tools of weakly coupled phase oscillator theory have had a profound impact on the
neuroscience community, providing insight into a variety of network behaviours ranging from …

Coherence-resonance chimeras in a network of excitable elements

N Semenova, A Zakharova, V Anishchenko, E Schöll - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We demonstrate that chimera behavior can be observed in nonlocally coupled networks of
excitable systems in the presence of noise. This phenomenon is distinct from classical …

Weak chimeras in minimal networks of coupled phase oscillators

P Ashwin, O Burylko - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear …, 2015 - pubs.aip.org
We suggest a definition for a type of chimera state that appears in networks of
indistinguishable phase oscillators. Defining a “weak chimera” as a type of invariant set …

All together now: Analogies between chimera state collapses and epileptic seizures
