Competing synchronization on random networks

Abstract

The synchronization pattern of a fully connected competing Kuramoto model with a uniform intrinsic frequency distribution $g(\omega )$ was recently considered. This competing Kuramoto model assigns two coupling constants with opposite signs, $K_1<0$ and $K_2>0$, to the $1-p$ and $p$ fractions of nodes, respectively. This model has a rich phase diagram that includes incoherent, $\pi$, and traveling wave (TW) phases and a hybrid phase transition with abnormal properties that occurs through an intermediate metastable $\pi$ state. Here, we consider the competing Kuramoto model on Erdős--Rényi (ER) random networks. Numerical simulations and the mean-field solution based on the annealed network approximation reveal that in this case, when the mean degree of the random networks is large, the features of the phase diagram and transition types are consistent overall with those on completely connected networks. However, when the mean degree is small, the mean-field solution is not consistent with the numerical simulation results; specifically, the TW state does not occur, and thus the phase diagram is changed, owing to the strong heterogeneity of the local environment. By contrast, for the original Kuramoto oscillators, the annealed mean-field solution is consistent with the numerical simulation result for ER networks.
