Abstract:
We study the collective dynamics of identical phase oscillators on globally coupled networks whose interactions are asymmetric and mediated by positive and negative couplings. We split the set of oscillators into two interconnected subpopulations. In this setup, oscillators belonging to the same group interact via symmetric couplings while the interaction between subpopulations occurs in an asymmetric fashion. By employing the dimensional reduction scheme of the Ott-Antonsen (OA) theory, we verify the existence of traveling wave and π-states, in addition to the classical fully synchronized and incoherent states. Bistability between all collective states is reported. Analytical results are generally in excellent agreement with simulations; for some parameters and initial conditions, however, we numerically detect chimera-like states which are not captured by the OA theory.
