Time-periodic phases in populations of nonlinearly coupled oscillators with bimodal frequency distributions
Abstract
The mean field Kuramoto model describing the synchronization of a population of phase oscillators with a bimodal frequency distribution is analyzed (by the method of multiple scales) near regions in its phase diagram corresponding to synchronization to phases with a time periodic order parameter. The richest behavior is found near the tricritical point were the incoherent, stationarily synchronized, ``traveling wave'' and ``standing wave'' phases coexist. The behavior near the tricritical point can be extrapolated to the rest of the phase diagram. Direct Brownian simulation of the model confirms our findings.
