Abstract:
Chimera states achieve the coexistence of coherent and incoherent subgroups through symmetry breaking and emerge in physical, chemical, and biological systems. We show the presence of amplitude-mediated multicluster chimera states in nonlocally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators. We clarify the prerequisites for having different types of chimera states by analytically and numerically studying how phase transitions occur between these states. Our results demonstrate how the oscillation amplitudes interact with the phase degrees of freedom in chimera states and significantly advance our understanding of the generation mechanisms of such states in coupled oscillator systems.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
