Spontaneous synchronisation and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of coupled phase oscillators
Spontaneous synchronisation and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of coupled phase oscillators
Spontaneous synchronisation is a remarkable collective effect observed in nature, whereby a population of oscillating units, which have diverse natural frequencies and are in weak interaction with one another, evolves to spontaneously exhibit collective oscillations at a common frequency. The Kuramoto model provides the basic analytical framework to study spontaneous …
