Collective Power: Minimal Model for Thermodynamics of Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions
Collective Power: Minimal Model for Thermodynamics of Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions
We propose a thermodynamically consistent minimal model to study synchronization which is made of driven and interacting three-state units. This system exhibits at the mean-field level two bifurcations separating three dynamical phases: a single stable fixed point, a stable limit cycle indicative of synchronization, and multiple stable fixed points. These …
