Time delay in the Kuramoto model with bimodal frequency distribution
arXiv:nlin/0606045 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.74.056201
Abstract
We investigate the effects of a time-delayed all-to-all coupling scheme in a large population of oscillators with natural frequencies following a bimodal distribution. The regions of parameter space corresponding to synchronized and incoherent solutions are obtained both numerically and analytically for particular frequency distributions. In particular we find that bimodality introduces a new time scale that results in a quasiperiodic disposition of the regions of incoherence.
