Simulating the phase behavior of the Kuramoto tree

Abstract

The Kuramoto model is a versatile mathematical framework that explains phenomena resulting from interactions among phase oscillators. It finds applications in various scientific and engineering domains. In this study, we focused on a Y-shaped network, which serves as the fundamental unit of a tree network. By simulating oscillators on the network, we generated heat maps for different numbers of nodes and coupling strengths and demonstrated the occurrence of different phases. Our findings reveal transitions between synchronization, wave state, and chaos within the system.
