Abstract
Cluster synchronization in synthetic networks of coupled chaotic oscillators is investigated. It is found that despite the asymmetric nature of the network structure, a subset of the oscillators can be synchronized as a cluster while the other oscillators remain desynchronized. Interestingly, with the increase in the coupling strength, the cluster is expanding gradually by recruiting the desynchronized oscillators one by one. This new synchronization phenomenon, which is named "scalable synchronization cluster," is explored theoretically by the method of eigenvector-based analysis, and it is revealed that the scalability of the cluster is attributed to the unique feature of the eigenvectors of the network coupling matrix. The transient dynamics of the cluster in response to random perturbations are also studied, and it is shown that in restoring to the synchronization state, oscillators inside the cluster are stabilized in sequence, illustrating again the hierarchy of the oscillators. The findings shed new light on the collective behaviors of networked chaotic oscillators and are helpful for the design of real-world networks where scalable synchronization clusters are concerned.

Abstract
We study the synchronization properties of a generic networked dynamical system, and show that, under a suitable approximation, the transition to synchronization can be predicted with the only help of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian matrix. The transition comes out to be made of a well defined sequence of events, each of which corresponds to a specific clustered state. The network's nodes involved in each of the clusters can be identified, and the value of the coupling strength at which the events are taking place can be approximately ascertained. Finally, we present large-scale simulations which show the accuracy of the approximation made, and of our predictions in describing the synchronization transition of both synthetic and real-world large size networks, and we even report that the observed sequence of clusters is preserved in heterogeneous networks made of slightly non-identical systems.

Abstract
Previous studies have adopted an edge-centric framework to study fine-scale network dynamics in human fMRI. To date, however, no studies have applied this framework to data collected from model organisms. Here, we analyze structural and functional imaging data from lightly anesthetized mice through an edge-centric lens. We find evidence of "bursty" dynamics and events - brief periods of high-amplitude network connectivity. Further, we show that on a per-frame basis events best explain static FC and can be divided into a series of hierarchically-related clusters. The co-fluctuation patterns associated with each cluster centroid link distinct anatomical areas and largely adhere to the boundaries of algorithmically detected functional brain systems. We then investigate the anatomical connectivity undergirding high-amplitude co-fluctuation patterns. We find that events induce modular bipartitions of the anatomical network of inter-areal axonal projections. Finally, we replicate these same findings in a human imaging dataset. In summary, this report recapitulates in a model organism many of the same phenomena observed in previously edge-centric analyses of human imaging data. However, unlike human subjects, the murine nervous system is amenable to invasive experimental perturbations. Thus, this study sets the stage for future investigation into the causal origins of fine-scale brain dynamics and high-amplitude co-fluctuations. Moreover, the cross-species consistency of the reported findings enhances the likelihood of future translation.

Abstract
The dynamics of the brain results from the complex interplay of several neural populations and is affected by both the individual dynamics of these areas and their connection structure. Hence, a fundamental challenge is to derive models of the brain that reproduce both structural and functional features measured experimentally. Our work combines neuroimaging data, such as dMRI, which provides information on the structure of the anatomical connectomes, and fMRI, which detects patterns of approximate synchronous activity between brain areas. We employ cluster synchronization as a tool to integrate the imaging data of a subject into a coherent model, which reconciles structural and dynamic information. By using data-driven and model-based approaches, we refine the structural connectivity matrix in agreement with experimentally observed clusters of brain areas that display coherent activity. The proposed approach leverages the assumption of homogeneous brain areas; we show the robustness of this approach when heterogeneity between the brain areas is introduced in the form of noise, parameter mismatches, and connection delays. As a proof of concept, we apply this approach to MRI data of a healthy adult at resting state.

Abstract
Brain activities are featured by spatially distributed neural clusters of coherent firings and a spontaneous slow switching of the clusters between the coherent and incoherent states. Evidences from recent in vivo experiments suggest that astrocytes, a type of glial cell regarded previously as providing only structural and metabolic supports to neurons, participate actively in brain functions by regulating the neural firing activities, yet the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, introducing astrocyte as a reservoir of the glutamate released from the neuron synapses, we propose the model of the complex neuron-astrocyte network, and investigate the roles of astrocytes in regulating the cluster synchronization behaviors of networked chaotic neurons. It is found that a specific set of neurons on the network are synchronized and form a cluster, while the remaining neurons are kept as desynchronized. Moreover, during the course of network evolution, the cluster is switching between the synchrony and asynchrony states in an intermittent fashion, henceforth the phenomenon of "breathing cluster." By the method of symmetry-based analysis, we conduct a theoretical investigation on the synchronizability of the cluster. It is revealed that the contents of the cluster are determined by the network symmetry, while the breathing of the cluster is attributed to the interplay between the neural network and the astrocyte. The phenomenon of breathing cluster is demonstrated in different network models, including networks with different sizes, nodal dynamics, and coupling functions. The findings shed light on the cellular mechanism of astrocytes in regulating neural activities and give insights into the state-switching of the neocortex.

Abstract
Symmetries in a network regulate its organization into functional clustered states. Given a generic ensemble of nodes and a desirable cluster (or group of clusters), we exploit the direct connection between the elements of the eigenvector centrality and the graph symmetries to generate a network equipped with the desired cluster(s), with such a synthetical structure being furthermore perfectly reflected in the modular organization of the network's functioning. Our results solve a relevant problem of designing a desired set of clusters and are of generic application in all cases where a desired parallel functioning needs to be blueprinted.

Abstract
In a network of coupled oscillators, a symmetry-broken dynamical state characterized by the coexistence of coherent and incoherent parts can spontaneously form. It is known as a chimera state. We study chimera states in a network consisting of six populations of identical Kuramoto-Sakaguchi phase oscillators. The populations are arranged in a ring, and oscillators belonging to one population are uniformly coupled to all oscillators within the same population and to those in the two neighboring populations. This topology supports the existence of different configurations of coherent and incoherent populations along the ring, but all of them are linearly unstable in most of the parameter space. Yet, chimera dynamics is observed from random initial conditions in a wide parameter range, characterized by one incoherent and five synchronized populations. These observable states are connected to the formation of a heteroclinic cycle between symmetric variants of saddle chimeras, which gives rise to a switching dynamics. We analyze the dynamical and spectral properties of the chimeras in the thermodynamic limit using the Ott-Antonsen ansatz and in finite-sized systems employing Watanabe-Strogatz reduction. For a heterogeneous frequency distribution, a small heterogeneity renders a heteroclinic switching dynamics asymptotically attracting. However, for a large heterogeneity, the heteroclinic orbit does not survive; instead, it is replaced by a variety of attracting chimera states.

Abstract
Transient dynamics leading to the synchrony of a type of pulse-coupled oscillators, so-called scrambler oscillators, has previously been studied as an aggregation process of synchronous clusters, and a rate equation for the cluster size distribution has been proposed. However, the evolution of the cluster size distribution for general cluster sizes has not been fully understood yet. In this paper, we study the evolution of the cluster size distribution from the perspective of a percolation model by regarding the number of aggregations as the number of attached bonds. Specifically, we derive the scaling form of the cluster size distribution with specific values of the critical exponents using the property that the characteristic cluster size diverges as the percolation threshold is approached from below. Through simulation, it is confirmed that the scaling form well explains the evolution of the cluster size distribution. Based on the distribution behavior, we find that a giant cluster of all oscillators is formed discontinuously at the threshold and also that further aggregation does not occur like in a one-dimensional bond percolation model. Finally, we discuss the origin of the discontinuous formation of the giant cluster from the perspective of global suppression in explosive percolation models. For this, we approximate the aggregation process as a cluster-cluster aggregation with a given collision kernel. We believe that the theoretical approach presented in this paper can be used to understand the transient dynamics of a broad range of synchronizations.

Abstract
In this paper, we study the network pinning control problem in the presence of two different types of coupling: (i) node-to-node coupling among the network nodes and (ii) input-to-node coupling from the source node to the "pinned nodes." Previous work has mainly focused on the case that (i) and (ii) are of the same type. We decouple the stability analysis of the target synchronous solution into subproblems of the lowest dimension by using the techniques of simultaneous block diagonalization of matrices. Interestingly, we obtain two different types of blocks, driven and undriven. The overall dimension of the driven blocks is equal to the dimension of an appropriately defined controllable subspace, while all the remaining undriven blocks are scalar. Our main result is a decomposition of the stability problem into four independent sets of equations, which we call quotient controllable, quotient uncontrollable, redundant controllable, and redundant uncontrollable. Our analysis shows that the number and location of the pinned nodes affect the number and the dimension of each set of equations. We also observe that in a large variety of complex networks, the stability of the target synchronous solution is de facto only determined by a single quotient controllable block.

Abstract
Cluster synchronization in complex networks with mutually coupled semiconductor lasers (SLs) has recently been extensively studied. However, most of the previous works on cluster synchronization patterns have concentrated on undirected networks. Here, we numerically study the complete cluster synchronization patterns in directed networks composed of SLs, and demonstrate that the values of the SLs parameter and network parameter play a prominent role on the formation and stability of cluster synchronization patterns. Moreover, it is shown that there is a hierarchical dependency between the synchronization stability of different clusters in directed networks. The stability of one cluster can be affected by another cluster, but not vice versa. Without loss of generality, the results are validated in another SLs network with more complex topology.

Abstract
Pinning control of cluster synchronization in a globally connected network of chaotic oscillators is studied. It is found in simulations that when the pinning strength exceeds a critical value, the oscillators are synchronized into two different clusters, one formed by the pinned oscillators and the other one formed by the unpinned oscillators. The numerical results are analyzed by the generalized method of master stability function (MSF), in which it is shown that whereas the method is able to predict the synchronization behaviors of the pinned oscillators, it fails to predict the synchronization behaviors of the unpinned oscillators. By checking the trajectories of the oscillators in the phase space, it is found that the failure is attributed to the deformed synchronization manifold of the unpinned oscillators, which is clearly deviated from that of isolated oscillator under strong pinnings. A similar phenomenon is also observed in the pinning control of cluster synchronization in a complex network of symmetric structures and in the self-organized cluster synchronization of networked neural oscillators. The findings are important complements to the generalized MSF method and provide an alternative approach to the manipulation of synchronization behaviors in complex network systems.

Abstract
Cluster synchronization is a state where clusters of nodes inside the network exhibit isochronous synchronization. Here, we present a mechanism to realize the strong cluster synchronization in semiconductor laser (SL) networks with complex topology, where stable cluster synchronization is achieved with decreased correlation between dynamics of different clusters and time delay signature concealment. We elucidate that, with the removal of intra-coupling within clusters, the stability of cluster synchronization could be enhanced effectively, while the statistical correlation among dynamics of each cluster decreases. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the correlation between clusters can be further reduced with the introduction of dual-path injection and frequency detuning. The robustness of strong cluster synchronization on operation parameters is discussed systematically. Time delay signature in chaotic outputs of SL network is concealed simultaneously with heterogeneous inter-coupling among different clusters. Our results suggest a new approach to control the cluster synchronization in complex SL networks and may potentially lead to new network solutions for communication schemes and encryption key distribution.

Abstract
We study the swing equation in the case of a multilayer network in which generators and motors are modeled differently; namely, the model for each generator is given by second order dynamics and the model for each motor is given by first order dynamics. We also remove the commonly used assumption of equal damping coefficients in the second order dynamics. Under these general conditions, we are able to obtain a decomposition of the linear swing equation into independent modes describing the propagation of small perturbations. In the process, we identify symmetries affecting the structure and dynamics of the multilayer network and derive an essential model based on a 'quotient network.' We then compare the dynamics of the full network and that of the quotient network and obtain a modal decomposition of the error dynamics. We also provide a method to quantify the steady-state error and the maximum overshoot error. Two case studies are presented to illustrate application of our method.

Abstract
The main motivation for this paper is to characterize network synchronizability for the case of cluster synchronization (CS), in an analogous fashion to Barahona and Pecora [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 054101 (2002)] for the case of complete synchronization. We find this problem to be substantially more complex than the original one. We distinguish between the two cases of networks with intertwined clusters and no intertwined clusters and between the two cases that the master stability function is negative either in a bounded range or in an unbounded range of its argument. Our proposed definition of cluster synchronizability is based on the synchronizability of each individual cluster within a network. We then attempt to generalize this definition to the entire network. For CS, the synchronous solution for each cluster may be stable, independent of the stability of the other clusters, which results in possibly different ranges in which each cluster synchronizes (isolated CS). For each pair of clusters, we distinguish between three different cases: Matryoshka cluster synchronization (when the range of the stability of the synchronous solution for one cluster is included in that of the other cluster), partially disjoint cluster synchronization (when the ranges of stability of the synchronous solutions partially overlap), and complete disjoint cluster synchronization (when the ranges of stability of the synchronous solutions do not overlap).

Abstract
Identical oscillators in the chimera state exhibit a mixture of coherent and incoherent patterns simultaneously. Nonlocal interactions and phase lag are critical factors in forming a chimera state within the Kuramoto model in Euclidean space. Here, we investigate the contributions of nonlocal interactions and phase lag to the formation of the chimera state in random networks. By developing an extended mean-field approximation and using a numerical approach, we find that the emergence of a chimera state in the Erdös-Rényi network is due mainly to degree heterogeneity with nonzero phase lag. For a regularly random network, although all nodes have the same degree, we find that disordered connections may yield the chimera state in the presence of long-range interactions. Furthermore, we show a nontrivial dynamic state in which all the oscillators drift more slowly than a defined frequency due to connectivity disorder at large phase lags beyond the mean-field solutions.

Abstract
The emergence of order in collective dynamics is a fascinating phenomenon that characterizes many natural systems consisting of coupled entities. Synchronization is such an example where individuals, usually represented by either linear or nonlinear oscillators, can spontaneously act coherently with each other when the interactions' configuration fulfills certain conditions. However, synchronization is not always perfect, and the coexistence of coherent and incoherent oscillators, broadly known in the literature as chimera states, is also possible. Although several attempts have been made to explain how chimera states are created, their emergence, stability, and robustness remain a long-debated question. We propose an approach that aims to establish a robust mechanism through which cluster synchronization and chimera patterns originate. We first introduce a stability-breaking method where clusters of synchronized oscillators can emerge. At variance with the standard approach where synchronization arises as a collective behavior of coupled oscillators, in our model, the system initially sets on a homogeneous fixed-point regime, and, only due to a global instability principle, collective oscillations emerge. Following a combination of the network modularity and the model's parameters, one or more clusters of oscillators become incoherent within yielding a particular class of patterns that we here name cluster chimera states.

Abstract
Chimera states, i.e., dynamical states composed of coexisting synchronous and asynchronous oscillations, have been reported to exist in diverse topologies of oscillators in simulations and experiments. Two-population networks with distinct intra- and inter-population coupling have served as simple model systems for chimera states since they possess an invariant synchronized manifold in contrast to networks on a spatial structure. Here, we study dynamical and spectral properties of finite-sized chimeras on two-population networks. First, we elucidate how the Kuramoto order parameter of the finite-sized globally coupled two-population network of phase oscillators is connected to that of the continuum limit. These findings suggest that it is suitable to classify the chimera states according to their order parameter dynamics, and therefore, we define Poisson and non-Poisson chimera states. We then perform a Lyapunov analysis of these two types of chimera states, which yields insight into the full stability properties of the chimera trajectories as well as of collective modes. In particular, our analysis also confirms that Poisson chimeras are neutrally stable. We then introduce two types of "perturbation" that act as small heterogeneities and render Poisson chimeras attracting: A topological variation via the simplest nonlocal intra-population coupling that keeps the network symmetries and the allowance of amplitude variations in the globally coupled two-population network; i.e., we replace the phase oscillators by Stuart-Landau oscillators. The Lyapunov spectral properties of chimera states in the two modified networks are investigated, exploiting an approach based on network symmetry-induced cluster pattern dynamics of the finite-size network.

One-way dependent clusters and stability of cluster synchronization in directed networks. Nat Commun 2021; 12:4073.

Abstract
Cluster synchronization in networks of coupled oscillators is the subject of broad interest from the scientific community, with applications ranging from neural to social and animal networks and technological systems. Most of these networks are directed, with flows of information or energy that propagate unidirectionally from given nodes to other nodes. Nevertheless, most of the work on cluster synchronization has focused on undirected networks. Here we characterize cluster synchronization in general directed networks. Our first observation is that, in directed networks, a cluster A of nodes might be one-way dependent on another cluster B: in this case, A may remain synchronized provided that B is stable, but the opposite does not hold. The main contribution of this paper is a method to transform the cluster stability problem in an irreducible form. In this way, we decompose the original problem into subproblems of the lowest dimension, which allows us to immediately detect inter-dependencies among clusters. We apply our analysis to two examples of interest, a human network of violin players executing a musical piece for which directed interactions may be either activated or deactivated by the musicians, and a multilayer neural network with directed layer-to-layer connections. Mechanisms of cluster formation in networks with directed links differ from those in undirected networks. Lodi et al. propose a method to compute interdependencies among clusters of nodes in directed networks. They show that clusters can be one-way dependent, as found in social and neural networks.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms of firing propagation in brain networks has been a long-standing problem in the fields of nonlinear dynamics and network science. In general, it is believed that a specific firing in a brain network may be gradually propagated from a source node to its neighbors and then to the neighbors' neighbors and so on. Here, we explore firing propagation in the neural network of Caenorhabditis elegans and surprisingly find an abnormal phenomenon, i.e., remote firing propagation between two distant and indirectly connected nodes with the intermediate nodes being inactivated. This finding is robust to source nodes but depends on the topology of network such as the unidirectional couplings and heterogeneity of network. Further, a brief theoretical analysis is provided to explain its mechanism and a principle for remote firing propagation is figured out. This finding provides insights for us to understand how those cognitive subnetworks emerge in a brain network.

Abstract
Chimera states have attracted significant attention as symmetry-broken states exhibiting the unexpected coexistence of coherence and incoherence. Despite the valuable insights gained from analyzing specific systems, an understanding of the general physical mechanism underlying the emergence of chimeras is still lacking. Here, we show that many stable chimeras arise because coherence in part of the system is sustained by incoherence in the rest of the system. This mechanism may be regarded as a deterministic analog of noise-induced synchronization and is shown to underlie the emergence of strong chimeras. These are chimera states whose coherent domain is formed by identically synchronized oscillators. Recognizing this mechanism offers a new meaning to the interpretation that chimeras are a natural link between coherence and incoherence.

Abstract
The presence of synchronized clusters in neuron networks is a hallmark of information transmission and processing. Common approaches to study cluster synchronization in networks of coupled oscillators ground on simplifying assumptions, which often neglect key biological features of neuron networks. Here we propose a general framework to study presence and stability of synchronous clusters in more realistic models of neuron networks, characterized by the presence of delays, different kinds of neurons and synapses. Application of this framework to two examples with different size and features (the directed network of the macaque cerebral cortex and the swim central pattern generator of a mollusc) provides an interpretation key to explain known functional mechanisms emerging from the combination of anatomy and neuron dynamics. The cluster synchronization analysis is carried out also by changing parameters and studying bifurcations. Despite some modeling simplifications in one of the examples, the obtained results are in good agreement with previously reported biological data.

Abstract
Understanding the human brain and its functions has always been an interesting and challenging problem. Recently, a significant progress on this problem has been achieved on the aspect of chimera state where a coexistence of synchronized and unsynchronized states can be sustained in identical oscillators. This counterintuitive phenomenon is closely related to the unihemispheric sleep in some marine mammals and birds and has recently gotten a hot attention in neural systems, except the previous studies in non-neural systems such as phase oscillators. This review will briefly summarize the main results of chimera state in neuronal systems and pay special attention to the network of cerebral cortex, aiming to accelerate the study of chimera state in brain networks. Some outlooks are also discussed.

Abstract
Real-world systems in epidemiology, social sciences, power transportation, economics and engineering are often described as multilayer networks. Here we first define and compute the symmetries of multilayer networks, and then study the emergence of cluster synchronization in these networks. We distinguish between independent layer symmetries, which occur in one layer and are independent of the other layers, and dependent layer symmetries, which involve nodes in different layers. We study stability of the cluster synchronous solution by decoupling the problem into a number of independent blocks and assessing stability of each block through a Master Stability Function. We see that blocks associated with dependent layer symmetries have a different structure to the other blocks, which affects the stability of clusters associated with these symmetries. Finally, we validate the theory in a fully analog experiment in which seven electronic oscillators of three kinds are connected with two kinds of coupling.

Abstract
Based on the data of cerebral cortex, we present a two-layered brain network model of coupled neurons where the two layers represent the left and right hemispheres of cerebral cortex, respectively, and the links between the two layers represent the inter-couplings through the corpus callosum. By this model we show that abundant patterns of synchronization can be observed, especially the chimera state, depending on the parameters of system such as the coupling strengths and coupling phase. Further, we extend the model to a more general two-layered network to better understand the mechanism of the observed patterns, where each hemisphere of cerebral cortex is replaced by a highly clustered subnetwork. We find that the number of inter-couplings is another key parameter for the emergence of chimera states. Thus, the chimera states come from a matching between the structure parameters such as the number of inter-couplings and clustering coefficient etc and the dynamics parameters such as the intra-, inter-coupling strengths and coupling phase etc. A brief theoretical analysis is provided to explain the borderline of synchronization. These findings may provide helpful clues to understand the mechanism of brain functions.

Abstract
Nonlinear dynamical systems with symmetries exhibit a rich variety of behaviors, often described by complex attractor-basin portraits and enhanced and suppressed bifurcations. Symmetry arguments provide a way to study these collective behaviors and to simplify their analysis. The Koopman operator is an infinite dimensional linear operator that fully captures a system's nonlinear dynamics through the linear evolution of functions of the state space. Importantly, in contrast with local linearization, it preserves a system's global nonlinear features. We demonstrate how the presence of symmetries affects the Koopman operator structure and its spectral properties. In fact, we show that symmetry considerations can also simplify finding the Koopman operator approximations using the extended and kernel dynamic mode decomposition methods (EDMD and kernel DMD). Specifically, representation theory allows us to demonstrate that an isotypic component basis induces a block diagonal structure in operator approximations, revealing hidden organization. Practically, if the symmetries are known, the EDMD and kernel DMD methods can be modified to give more efficient computation of the Koopman operator approximation and its eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, and eigenmodes. Rounding out the development, we discuss the effect of measurement noise.

Abstract
A reservoir computer is a complex nonlinear dynamical system that has been shown to be useful for solving certain problems, such as prediction of chaotic signals, speech recognition, or control of robotic systems. Typically, a reservoir computer is constructed by connecting a large number of nonlinear nodes in a network, driving the nodes with an input signal and using the node outputs to fit a training signal. In this work, we set up reservoirs where the edges (or connections) between all the network nodes are either +1 or 0 and proceed to alter the network structure by flipping some of these edges from +1 to -1. We use this simple network because it turns out to be easy to characterize; we may use the fraction of edges flipped as a measure of how much we have altered the network. In some cases, the network can be rearranged in a finite number of ways without changing its structure; these rearrangements are symmetries of the network, and the number of symmetries is also useful for characterizing the network. We find that changing the number of edges flipped in the network changes the rank of the covariance of a matrix consisting of the time series from the different nodes in the network and speculate that this rank is important for understanding the reservoir computer performance.

Abstract
Cluster synchronization is a phenomenon in which oscillators in a given network are partitioned into synchronous clusters. As recently shown, diverse cluster synchronization patterns can be found using network symmetry when the oscillators are identical. For such symmetry-induced cluster synchronization patterns, subsets called intertwined clusters can exist, in which every cluster in the same subset should synchronize or desynchronize concurrently. In this paper, to reflect the existence of noise in real systems, we consider networks composed of nearly identical oscillators. We show that every cluster in the same intertwined cluster set is nearly synchronized concurrently when the nearly synchronous state of the set is stable. We also consider an extreme case where only one cluster of an intertwined cluster set is composed of nearly identical oscillators while every other cluster in the set is composed of identical oscillators. In this case, deviation from the synchronous state of every cluster in the same set increases linearly with the magnitude of parameter mismatch within the cluster of nearly identical oscillators. We confirm these results by numerical simulation.

Abstract
Synchronization of oscillators, a phenomenon found in a wide variety of natural and engineered systems, is typically understood through a reduction to a first-order phase model with simplified dynamics. Here, by exploiting the precision and flexibility of nanoelectromechanical systems, we examined the dynamics of a ring of quasi-sinusoidal oscillators at and beyond first order. Beyond first order, we found exotic states of synchronization with highly complex dynamics, including weak chimeras, decoupled states, traveling waves, and inhomogeneous synchronized states. Through theory and experiment, we show that these exotic states rely on complex interactions emerging out of networks with simple linear nearest-neighbor coupling. This work provides insight into the dynamical richness of complex systems with weak nonlinearities and local interactions.

Abstract
Symmetries are ubiquitous in network systems and have profound impacts on the observable dynamics. At the most fundamental level, many synchronization patterns are induced by underlying network symmetry, and a high degree of symmetry is believed to enhance the stability of identical synchronization. Yet, here we show that the synchronizability of almost any symmetry cluster in a network of identical nodes can be enhanced precisely by breaking its structural symmetry. This counterintuitive effect holds for generic node dynamics and arbitrary network structure and is, moreover, robust against noise and imperfections typical of real systems, which we demonstrate by implementing a state-of-the-art optoelectronic experiment. These results lead to new possibilities for the topological control of synchronization patterns, which we substantiate by presenting an algorithm that optimizes the structure of individual clusters under various constraints.

Abstract
Counterintuitive to the common notion of symmetry breaking, asymmetry favors synchrony in a network of oscillators. Our observations on an ensemble of identical Stuart-Landau systems under a symmetry breaking coupling support our conjecture. As usual, for a complete deterministic and the symmetric choice of initial clusters, a variety of asymptotic states, namely, multicluster oscillation death (1-OD, 3-OD, and m -OD), chimera states, and traveling waves emerge. Alternatively, multiple chimera death (1-CD, 3-CD, and m -CD) and completely synchronous states emerge in the network whenever some randomness is added to the symmetric initial states. However, in both the cases, an increasing asymmetry in the initial cluster size restores symmetry in the network, leading to the most favorable complete synchronization state for a broad range of coupling parameters. We are able to reduce the network model using the mean-field approximation that reproduces the dynamical features of the original network.

Abstract
For coupled oscillator networks with Laplacian coupling, the master stability function (MSF) has proven a particularly powerful tool for assessing the stability of the synchronous state. Using tools from group theory, this approach has recently been extended to treat more general cluster states. However, the MSF and its generalizations require the determination of a set of Floquet multipliers from variational equations obtained by linearization around a periodic orbit. Since closed form solutions for periodic orbits are invariably hard to come by, the framework is often explored using numerical techniques. Here, we show that further insight into network dynamics can be obtained by focusing on piecewise linear (PWL) oscillator models. Not only do these allow for the explicit construction of periodic orbits, their variational analysis can also be explicitly performed. The price for adopting such nonsmooth systems is that many of the notions from smooth dynamical systems, and in particular linear stability, need to be modified to take into account possible jumps in the components of Jacobians. This is naturally accommodated with the use of saltation matrices. By augmenting the variational approach for studying smooth dynamical systems with such matrices we show that, for a wide variety of networks that have been used as models of biological systems, cluster states can be explicitly investigated. By way of illustration, we analyze an integrate-and-fire network model with event-driven synaptic coupling as well as a diffusively coupled network built from planar PWL nodes, including a reduction of the popular Morris-Lecar neuron model. We use these examples to emphasize that the stability of network cluster states can depend as much on the choice of single node dynamics as it does on the form of network structural connectivity. Importantly, the procedure that we present here, for understanding cluster synchronization in networks, is valid for a wide variety of systems in biology, physics, and engineering that can be described by PWL oscillators.

Abstract
We study cluster synchronization in networks and show that the stability of all possible cluster synchronization patterns depends on a small set of Lyapunov exponents. Our approach can be applied to clusters corresponding to both orbital partitions of the network nodes (symmetry-cluster synchronization) and equitable partitions of the network nodes (input-cluster synchronization). Our results are verified experimentally in networks of coupled optoelectronic oscillators.

Abstract
In the light of the recently proposed scenario of asymmetry-induced synchronization (AISync), in which dynamical uniformity and consensus in a distributed system would demand certain asymmetries in the underlying network, we investigate here the influence of some regularities in the interlayer connection patterns on the synchronization properties of multilayer random networks. More specifically, by considering a Stuart-Landau model of complex oscillators with random frequencies, we report for multilayer networks a dynamical behavior that could be also classified as a manifestation of AISync. We show, namely, that the presence of certain symmetries in the interlayer connection pattern tends to diminish the synchronization capability of the whole network or, in other words, asymmetries in the interlayer connections would enhance synchronization in such structured networks. Our results might help the understanding not only of the AISync mechanism itself but also its possible role in the determination of the interlayer connection pattern of multilayer and other structured networks with optimal synchronization properties.

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
Since its discovery in 2002, the chimera state has frequently been described as a counterintuitive, puzzling phenomenon. The Kuramoto model, in contrast, has become a celebrated paradigm useful for understanding a range of phenomena related to phase transitions, synchronization, and network effects. Here we show that the chimera state can be understood as emerging naturally through a symmetry-breaking bifurcation from the Kuramoto model's partially synchronized state. Our analysis sheds light on recent observations of chimera states in laser arrays, chemical oscillators, and mechanical pendula.
