Coarse-grained description of general oscillator networks

Abstract

We propose a novel and systematic method for coarse-graining oscillator networks described by phase equations. Our coarse-graining method enables us to obtain the closed coarse-grained equations for a few effective eigenmodes, which is based on the eigenvalue problem of the linearized system around the phase-locked solution and a nonlinear transformation. We demonstrate our method by applying it to oscillator dynamics on a random graph, which exhibits a saddle-node bifurcation at the bifurcation point.
