A linear path toward synchronization

Anomalous scaling in a new class of exactly solvable Kuramoto models

Abstract
Using a recently introduced linear reformulation of the Kuramoto model of self-synchronizing oscillator systems [1], we study a new class of analytically solvable oscillator systems defined by a particular coupling scheme. We show that these systems have a logarithmic scaling law in the vicinity of the critical point, which may be seen as anomalous with respect to the usual power-law behavior exhibited by the standard Kuramoto model.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
