Abstract:
We show an amazing complexity of the chimeras in small networks of coupled phase oscillators with inertia. The network behavior is characterized by heteroclinic switching between multiple saddle chimera states and riddling basins of attractions, causing an extreme sensitivity to initial conditions and parameters. Additional uncertainty is induced by the presumable coexistence of stable phase-locked states or other stable chimeras as the switching trajectories can eventually tend to them. The system dynamics becomes hardly predictable, while its complexity represents a challenge in the network sciences.

Chiral objects exhibit a sense of handedness when they interact with another chiral object. For example, our left foot can only fit in the left shoe and not in the right shoe. Achiral objects — objects that have...

Complex Power
Complex power is defined as the multiplication of the voltage and the complex conjugate of the current. The magnitude of this power, known as apparent power, is measured in volt-amperes (VA). Notably, the angle of the complex power equates to the...
