Low dimensional behaviour of generalized Kuramoto model

Abstract

We study the global bifurcations of frequency weighted Kuramoto model in low-dimension for network of fully connected oscillators. To study the effect of non-zero-centered frequency distribution, we consider two symmetric Lorentzians as an example. We derive the stability diagram of the system and show that the infinite-dimensional problem reduces to a flow in four dimensions. Using the system symmetries, it can be further reduced to two dimensions. Using this analytic framework, we obtain bifurcation boundaries of the system, which is compatible with our numeric simulations. We show that the system has three types of transitions to synchronized state for different parameters of the frequency distribution: (1) a two-step transition, representative of standing waves, (2) a continuous transition, as in the classical Kuramoto model, and (3) a first-order transition with hysteresis. Numerical simulations are also conducted to confirm analytic results.
