Title: Phase transitions in nonlinear oscillator chains
Abstract:It is shown numerically that a one-dimensional system of coupled disparate nonlinear oscillators undergoes a phase transition from a synchronized to a desynchronized state as the range of interactions...It is shown numerically that a one-dimensional system of coupled disparate nonlinear oscillators undergoes a phase transition from a synchronized to a desynchronized state as the range of interactions is decreased. Using a coupling that decreases with distance as ${r}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\alpha}}$, the functional dependence of the critical coupling exponent on the coupling constant ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{c}(K)$ is mapped out and the nature of the transition is discussed. Previously studied models and results are recovered in the appropriate limits of the coupling exponent.Read More
