When Nonlocal Coupling between Oscillators Becomes Stronger: Patched Synchrony or Multichimera States

Systems of nonlocally coupled oscillators can exhibit complex spatiotemporal patterns, called chimera states, which consist of coexisting domains of spatially coherent (synchronized) and incoherent dynamics. We report on a novel form of these states, found in a widely used model of a limit-cycle osc... View More
