We found that increasing inertia in oscillator networks can lead to a sudden loss of stable partial synchronization. This stability depends on frequency mismatch, inertia, and network size.

Area of Science:
- Physics
- Complex Systems
- Network Science
Background:
- Partial synchronization occurs in oscillator networks when they divide into coherent and incoherent groups.
- The Kuramoto model is a standard framework for studying synchronization phenomena in coupled oscillators.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the stability of partial synchronization in a second-order Kuramoto model with heterogeneous oscillators and inertia.
- To identify critical parameters influencing the stability of partial synchronization.
Main Methods:
- Development of an auxiliary system method analyzing a two-dimensional piecewise-smooth system.
- Qualitative bifurcation analysis of the auxiliary system to determine stability bounds.
Main Results:
- Derived explicit bounds for parameters supporting stable partial synchronization, including natural frequency mismatch, inertia, and network size.
- Predicted a threshold-like loss of stability for partial synchronization as inertia increases.
- Demonstrated the influence of inertia on the stability of synchronized clusters.
Conclusions:
- The auxiliary system method provides a powerful tool for analyzing cluster synchronization dynamics.
- Inertia plays a critical role in the stability of partial synchronization, with increasing inertia potentially destabilizing the system.
- The method is adaptable for analyzing more complex network topologies and multiple coherent clusters.
