Abstract:
How do higher-order interactions influence the dynamical landscape of a network of the second-order phase oscillators? We address this question using three coupled Kuramoto phase oscillators with inertia under pairwise and higher-order interactions, in search of various collective states, and new states, if any, that show marginal presence or absence under pairwise interactions. We explore this small network for varying phase lag in the coupling and over a range of negative to positive coupling strength of pairwise as well as higher-order or group interactions. In the extended coupling parameter plane of the network we record several well-known states such as synchronization, frequency chimera states, and rotating waves that appear with distinct boundaries. In the parameter space, we also find states generated by the influence of higher-order interactions: The 2+1 antipodal point and the 2+1 phase-locked states. Our results demonstrate the importantance of the choices of the phase lag and the sign of the higher-order coupling strength for the emergent dynamics of the network. We provide analytical support to our numerical results.
