This study explores collective parametric instability in coupled oscillators. New instability regimes were discovered, including monotonic and oscillatory amplitude divergences, expanding on previous research.

Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear Dynamics
  • Statistical Physics
  • Complex Systems

Background:

  • Parametric oscillators are fundamental in physics, exhibiting complex behaviors under external forcing.
  • Previous work identified collective parametric instability but did not fully characterize all dynamic regimes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comprehensive phase diagram of collective parametric instability in coupled oscillators.
  • To characterize novel dynamical regimes and instabilities not previously identified.
  • To compare mean-field results with systems exhibiting local coupling and simple dimers.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the mean-field model for globally and harmonically coupled parametric oscillators.
  • Characterization of collective motion underlying parametric instabilities.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Numerical simulations of systems with nearest-neighbor coupling and simple dimers.

    • Main Results:

    • A detailed phase diagram of collective parametric instability regions is presented.
    • Two new types of collective instabilities are identified: monotonic and oscillatory amplitude divergence.
    • Collective instability frequencies show no simple relation to individual oscillator or modulation frequencies.
    • Nearest-neighbor coupled systems and dimers exhibit behaviors consistent with the mean-field model.

    Conclusions:

    • The study expands the understanding of collective parametric instabilities in coupled oscillator systems.
    • Novel dynamical regimes and their characteristics are revealed, offering new insights into nonlinear dynamics.
    • The findings highlight the relevance of the mean-field approach and its applicability to simpler systems.
