The Sakaguchi-Kuramoto model in presence of asymmetric interactions that break phase-shift symmetry

arXiv:2108.04447 · doi:10.1063/5.0055664

Abstract

The celebrated Kuramoto model provides an analytically tractable framework to study spontaneous collective synchronization and comprises globally coupled limit-cycle oscillators interacting symmetrically with one another. The Sakaguchi-Kuramoto model is a generalization of the basic model that considers the presence of a phase-lag parameter in the interaction, thereby making it asymmetric between oscillator pairs. Here, we consider a further generalization, by adding an interaction that breaks the phase-shift symmetry of the model. The highlight of our study is the unveiling of a very rich bifurcation diagram comprising of both oscillatory and non-oscillatory synchronized states as well as an incoherent state: There are regions of two-state as well as an interesting and hitherto unexplored three-state coexistence arising from asymmetric interactions in our model.
