Title: | Critical behavior and synchronization of discrete stochastic phase-coupled oscillators | Authors: | Wood, K. VAN DEN BROECK, Christian KAWAI, Ryoichi Lindenberg, K. |

We present a discrete model that is sufficiently simple to be characterized in meaningful detail. In the mean-field limit, the model exhibits a supercritical Hopf bifurcation and global oscillatory behavior as coupling crosses a critical value. When coupling between units is strictly local, the model undergoes a continuous phase transition that we characterize numerically using finite-size scaling analysis. In particular, we explicitly rule out multistability and show that the onset of global synchrony is marked by signatures of the XY universality class. Our numerical results cover dimensions d=2, 3, 4, and 5 and lead to the appropriate XY classical exponents beta and nu, a lower critical dimension d(lc)=2, and an upper critical dimension d(uc)=4. | Keywords: | IRREVERSIBLE-PROCESSES; RECIPROCAL RELATIONS; POPULATIONS; LATTICES;; FREQUENCIES; ONSET | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/1570 | ISSN: | 1539-3755 | DOI: | 10.1103/PhysRevE.74.031113 | ISI #: | 000240870100025 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2007 |
