Pattern in non-linearly coupled network of identical Thomas oscillators

Abstract

We have investigated synchronized pattern in a network of Thomas oscillators coupled with sinusoidal nonlinear coupling. Pattern like chimera states are not only observed for many non-locally coupled oscillators but there is a signature of it even for locally coupled few oscillators. For certain range of intermediate coupling, clusters are also observed. These patterns do resemble with motion of real self propelled coupled dynamical systems.
