Abstract:
We study the propagation of rare or extreme events in a network of coupled nonlinear oscillators, where counter-rotating oscillators play the role of the malfunctioning agents. The extreme events originate from the coupled counter-oscillating pair of oscillators through a mechanism of saddle-node bifurcation. A detailed study of the propagation and the destruction of the extreme events and how these events depend on the strength of the coupling is presented. Extreme events travel only when nearby oscillators are in synchronization. The emergence of extreme events and their propagation are observed in a number of excitable systems for different network sizes and for different topologies.
