DY 14.8: Talk

Tuesday, March 17, 2015, 12:15–12:30, BH-N 243

Chimera states and the interplay between initial conditions and non-local coupling — •Peter Kalle^1,2, Anna Zakharova¹, Vladimir García-Morales², Katharina Krischer², and Eckehard Schöll¹ — ¹TU Berlin, Institut für Theoretische Physik — ²TU München, E19 - Chemische Physik fern vom Gleichgewicht

This talk addresses the impact of initial conditions and non-local coupling on the emergence of chimera states in networks of Stuart-Landau oscillators. An intuitive approach is presented by which it is possible to successfully predict and explain the occurrence of chimera states. Following this, some of the main properties of chimera states are discussed in the light of this approach.
