Abstract
A key challenge of nonlinear dynamics and network science is to understand how higher-order interactions influence collective dynamics. Although many studies have approached this question through linear stability analysis, less is known about how higher-order interactions shape the global organization of different states. Here, we shed light on this issue by analyzing the rich patterns supported by identical Kuramoto oscillators on hypergraphs. We show that higher-order interactions can have opposite effects on linear stability and basin stability: They stabilize twisted states (including full synchrony) by improving their linear stability, but also make them hard to find by markedly reducing their basin size. Our results highlight the importance of understanding higher-order interactions from both local and global perspectives.

Abstract
In this paper, a network of interacting neurons based on a two-component system of reaction-superdiffusion equations with fractional Laplace operator responsible for the coupling configuration and nonlinear functions of the Hindmarsh-Rose model is considered. The process of synchronization transition in the space of the fractional Laplace operator exponents is studied. This parametric space contains information about both the local interaction strength and the asymptotics of the long-range couplings for both components of the system under consideration. It is shown that in addition to the homogeneous transition, there are regions of inhomogeneous synchronization transition in the space of the fractional Laplace operator exponents. Weak changes of the corresponding exponents in inhomogeneous zones are associated with the significant restructuring of the dynamic modes in the system. The parametric regions of chimera states, solitary states, phase waves, as well as dynamical modes combining them, are determined. The development of filamentary structures associated with the manifestation of different partial synchronization modes has been detected. In view of the demonstrated link between changes in network topology and internal dynamics, the data obtained in this study may be useful for neuroscience tasks. The approaches used in this study can be applied to a wide range of natural science disciplines.

Abstract
Two- and three-component systems of superdiffusion equations describing the dynamics of action potential propagation in a chain of non-locally interacting neurons with Hindmarsh-Rose nonlinear functions have been considered. Non-local couplings based on the fractional Laplace operator describing superdiffusion kinetics are found to support chimeras. In turn, the system with local couplings, based on the classical Laplace operator, shows synchronous behavior. For several parameters responsible for the activation properties of neurons, it is shown that the structure and evolution of chimera states depend significantly on the fractional Laplacian exponent, reflecting non-local properties of the couplings. For two-component systems, an anisotropic transition to full incoherence in the parameter space responsible for non-locality of the first and second variables is established. Introducing a third slow variable induces a gradual transition to incoherence via additional chimera states formation. We also discuss the possible causes of chimera states formation in such a system of non-locally interacting neurons and relate them with the properties of the fractional Laplace operator in a system with global coupling.

Abstract
Networks of coupled nonlinear oscillators allow for the formation of nontrivial partially synchronized spatiotemporal patterns, such as chimera states, in which there are coexisting coherent (synchronized) and incoherent (desynchronized) domains. These complementary domains form spontaneously, and it is impossible to predict where the synchronized group will be positioned within the network. Therefore, possible ways to control the spatial position of the coherent and incoherent groups forming the chimera states are of high current interest. In this work we investigate how to control chimera patterns in multiplex networks of FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons, and in particular we want to prove that it is possible to remotely control chimera states exploiting the multiplex structure. We introduce a pacemaker oscillator within the network: this is an oscillator that does not receive input from the rest of the network but is sending out information to its neighbors. The pacemakers can be positioned in one or both layers. Their presence breaks the spatial symmetry of the layer in which they are introduced and allows us to control the position of the incoherent domain. We demonstrate how the remote control is possible for both uni- and bidirectional coupling between the layers. Furthermore we show which are the limitations of our control mechanisms when it is generalized from single-layer to multilayer networks.

Abstract
Anticoordination and chimera states occur in a two-layer model of learning and coordination dynamics in fully connected networks. Learning occurs in the intra-layer networks, while a coordination game is played in the inter-layer network. In this paper, we study the robustness of these states against local effects introduced by the local connectivity of random networks. We identify threshold values for the mean degree of the networks such that below these values, local effects prevent the existence of anticoordination and chimera states found in the fully connected setting. Local effects in the intra-layer learning network are more important than in the inter-layer network in preventing the existence of anticoordination states. The local connectivity of the intra- and inter-layer networks is important to avoid the occurrence of chimera states, but the local effects are stronger in the inter-layer coordination network than in the intra-layer learning network. We also study the effect of local connectivity on the problem of equilibrium selection in the asymmetric coordination game, showing that local effects favor the selection of the Pareto-dominant equilibrium in situations in which the risk-dominant equilibrium is selected in the fully connected network. In this case, again, the important local effects are those associated with the coordination dynamics inter-layer network. Indeed, lower average degree of the network connectivity between layers reduces the probability of achieving the risk-dominant strategy, favoring the Pareto-dominant equilibrium.

Abstract
We investigate the existence of chimera-like states in a small-world network of chaotically oscillating identical Rössler systems with an addition of randomly switching nonlocal links. By varying the small-world coupling strength, we observe no chimera-like state either in the absence of nonlocal wirings or with static nonlocal wirings. When we give an additional nonlocal wiring to randomly selected nodes and if we allow the random selection of nodes to change with time, we observe the onset of chimera-like states. Upon increasing the number of randomly selected nodes gradually, we find that the incoherent window keeps on shrinking, whereas the chimera-like window widens up. Moreover, the system attains a completely synchronized state comparatively sooner for a lower coupling strength. Also, we show that one can induce chimera-like states by a suitable choice of switching times, coupling strengths, and a number of nonlocal links. We extend the above-mentioned randomized injection of nonlocal wirings for the cases of globally coupled Rössler oscillators and a small-world network of coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators and obtain similar results.

Abstract
Chimera states in one-dimensional nonlocally coupled phase oscillators are mostly assumed to be stationary, but breathing chimeras can occasionally appear, branching from the stationary chimeras via Hopf bifurcation. In this paper, we demonstrate two types of breathing chimeras: The type I breathing chimera looks the same as the stationary chimera at a glance, while the type II consists of multiple coherent regions with different average frequencies. Moreover, it is shown that the type I changes to the type II by increasing the breathing amplitude. Furthermore, we develop a self-consistent analysis of the local order parameter, which can be applied to breathing chimeras, and numerically demonstrate this analysis in the present system.

Abstract
We propose a method to control chimera states in a ring-shaped network of nonlocally coupled phase oscillators. This method acts exclusively on the network's connectivity. Using the idea of a pacemaker oscillator, we investigate which is the minimal action needed to control chimeras. We implement the pacemaker choosing one oscillator and making its links unidirectional. Our results show that a pacemaker induces chimeras for parameters and initial conditions for which they do not form spontaneously. Furthermore, the pacemaker attracts the incoherent part of the chimera state, thus controlling its position. Beyond that, we find that these control effects can be achieved with modifications of the network's connectivity that are less invasive than a pacemaker, namely, the minimal action of just modifying the strength of one connection allows one to control chimeras.

Abstract
We demonstrate the occurrence of coexisting domains of partially coherent and incoherent patterns or simply known as chimera states in a network of globally coupled logistic maps upon addition of weak nonlocal topology. We find that the chimera states survive even after we disconnect nonlocal connections of some of the nodes in the network. Also, we show that the chimera states exist when we introduce symmetric gaps in the nonlocal coupling between predetermined nodes. We ascertain our results, for the existence of chimera states, by carrying out the recurrence quantification analysis and by computing the strength of incoherence. We extend our analysis for the case of small-world networks of coupled logistic maps and found the emergence of chimeralike states under the influence of weak nonlocal topology.

Abstract
Chimera states for the one-dimensional array of nonlocally coupled phase oscillators in the continuum limit are assumed to be stationary states in most studies, but a few studies report the existence of breathing chimera states. We focus on multichimera states with two coherent and incoherent regions and numerically demonstrate that breathing multichimera states, whose global order parameter oscillates temporally, can appear. Moreover, we show that the system exhibits a Hopf bifurcation from a stationary multichimera to a breathing one by the linear stability analysis for the stationary multichimera.

Abstract
Complex spatiotemporal patterns, called chimera states, consist of coexisting coherent and incoherent domains and can be observed in networks of coupled oscillators. The interplay of synchrony and asynchrony in complex brain networks is an important aspect in studies of both the brain function and disease. We analyse the collective dynamics of FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons in complex networks motivated by its potential application to epileptology and epilepsy surgery. We compare two topologies: an empirical structural neural connectivity derived from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and a mathematically constructed network with modular fractal connectivity. We analyse the properties of chimeras and partially synchronized states and obtain regions of their stability in the parameter planes. Furthermore, we qualitatively simulate the dynamics of epileptic seizures and study the influence of the removal of nodes on the network synchronizability, which can be useful for applications to epileptic surgery.

Abstract
Recent research on the network modeling of complex systems has led to a convenient representation of numerous natural, social, and engineered systems that are now recognized as networks of interacting parts. Such systems can exhibit a wealth of phenomena that not only cannot be anticipated from merely examining their parts, as per the textbook definition of complexity, but also challenge intuition even when considered in the context of what is now known in network science. Here we review the recent literature on two major classes of such phenomena that have far-reaching implications: (i) antagonistic responses to changes of states or parameters and (ii) coexistence of seemingly incongruous behaviors or properties-both deriving from the collective and inherently decentralized nature of the dynamics. They include effects as diverse as negative compressibility in engineered materials, rescue interactions in biological networks, negative resistance in fluid networks, and the Braess paradox occurring across transport and supply networks. They also include remote synchronization, chimera states and the converse of symmetry breaking in brain, power-grid and oscillator networks as well as remote control in biological and bio-inspired systems. By offering a unified view of these various scenarios, we suggest that they are representative of a yet broader class of unprecedented network phenomena that ought to be revealed and explained by future research.

Abstract
Chimera states are spatiotemporal segregations – stably coexisting coherent and incoherent groups – that can occur in systems of identical phase oscillators. Here we demonstrate that this remarkable phenomenon can also be understood in terms of Pecora and Carroll’s drive-response theory. By calculating the conditional Lyapunov exponents, we show that the incoherent group acts to synchronize the coherent group; the latter playing the role of a response. We also compare the distributions of finite-time conditional Lyapunov exponents to the characteristic distribution that was reported previously for chimera states. The present analysis provides a unifying explanation of the inherently frustrated dynamics that gives rise to chimera states.

Abstract
Chimera states are complex spatio-temporal patterns which consist of coexisting domains of spatially coherent and incoherent dynamics in systems of coupled oscillators. In small networks, chimera states usually exhibit short lifetimes and erratic drifting of the spatial position of the incoherent domain. A tweezer feedback control scheme can stabilize and fix the position of chimera states. We analyze the action of the tweezer control in small nonlocally coupled networks of Van der Pol and FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators, and determine the ranges of optimal control parameters. We demonstrate that the tweezer control scheme allows for stabilization of chimera states with different shapes, and can be used as an instrument for controlling the coherent domains size, as well as the maximum average frequency difference of the oscillators.

Abstract
Cluster synchronization is a phenomenon in which a network self-organizes into a pattern of synchronized sets. It has been shown that diverse patterns of stable cluster synchronization can be captured by symmetries of the network. Here, we establish a theoretical basis to divide an arbitrary pattern of symmetry clusters into independently synchronizable cluster sets, in which the synchronization stability of the individual clusters in each set is decoupled from that in all the other sets. Using this framework, we suggest a new approach to find permanently stable chimera states by capturing two or more symmetry clusters-at least one stable and one unstable-that compose the entire fully symmetric network.

Abstract
We study the collective dynamics of oscillators in a network of identical bistable time-delayed feedback systems globally coupled via the mean field. The influence of delay and inertial properties of the mean field on the collective behavior of globally coupled oscillators is investigated. A variety of oscillation regimes in the network results from the presence of bistable states with substantially different frequencies in coupled oscillators. In the physical experiment and numerical simulation we demonstrate the existence of chimeralike states, in which some of the oscillators in the network exhibit synchronous oscillations, while all other oscillators remain asynchronous.

Abstract
The simplest network of coupled phase-oscillators exhibiting chimera states is given by two populations with disparate intra- and inter-population coupling strengths. We explore the effects of heterogeneous coupling phase-lags between the two populations. Such heterogeneity arises naturally in various settings, for example, as an approximation to transmission delays, excitatory-inhibitory interactions, or as amplitude and phase responses of oscillators with electrical or mechanical coupling. We find that breaking the phase-lag symmetry results in a variety of states with uniform and non-uniform synchronization, including in-phase and anti-phase synchrony, full incoherence (splay state), chimera states with phase separation of 0 or π between populations, and states where both populations remain desynchronized. These desynchronized states exhibit stable, oscillatory, and even chaotic dynamics. Moreover, we identify the bifurcations through which chimeras emerge. Stable chimera states and desynchronized solutions, which do not arise for homogeneous phase-lag parameters, emerge as a result of competition between synchronized in-phase, anti-phase equilibria, and fully incoherent states when the phase-lags are near ±π2 (cosine coupling). These findings elucidate previous experimental results involving a network of mechanical oscillators and provide further insight into the breakdown of synchrony in biological systems.

Abstract
Our fascination with chimera states stems partially from the somewhat paradoxical, yet fundamental trait of identical, and identically coupled, oscillators to split into spatially separated, coherently and incoherently oscillating groups. While the list of systems for which various types of chimeras have already been detected continues to grow, there is a corresponding increase in the number of mathematical analyses aimed at elucidating the fundamental reasons for this surprising behaviour. Based on the model systems, there are strong indications that chimera states may generally be ubiquitous in naturally occurring systems containing large numbers of coupled oscillators - certain biological systems and high-Tc superconducting materials, for example. In this work we suggest a new way of detecting and characterising chimera states. Specifically, it is shown that the probability densities of finite-time Lyapunov exponents, corresponding to chimera states, have a definite characteristic shape. Such distributions could be used as signatures of chimera states, particularly in systems for which the phases of all the oscillators cannot be measured directly. For such cases, we suggest that chimera states could perhaps be detected by reconstructing the characteristic distribution via standard embedding techniques, thus making it possible to detect chimera states in systems where they could otherwise exist unnoticed.

Abstract
Chimera states are dynamical patterns in networks of coupled oscillators in which regions of synchronous and asynchronous oscillation coexist. Although these states are typically observed in large ensembles of oscillators and analyzed in the continuum limit, chimeras may also occur in systems with finite (and small) numbers of oscillators. Focusing on networks of 2N phase oscillators that are organized in two groups, we find that chimera states, corresponding to attracting periodic orbits, appear with as few as two oscillators per group and demonstrate that for N>2 the bifurcations that create them are analogous to those observed in the continuum limit. These findings suggest that chimeras, which bear striking similarities to dynamical patterns in nature, are observable and robust in small networks that are relevant to a variety of real-world systems.
