The behavior at bifurcation from global synchronization to partial synchronization in finite networks of coupled oscillators is a complex phenomenon, involving the intricate dynamics of one or more oscillators with the remaining synchronized oscillators. This is not captured well by standard macroscopic model reduction techniques which capture only the collective behavior of synchronized oscillators in the thermodynamic limit. We introduce two mesoscopic model reductions for finite sparse networks of coupled oscillators to quantitatively capture the dynamics close to bifurcation from global to partial synchronization. Our model reduction builds upon the method of collective coordinates. We first show that standard collective coordinate reduction has difficulties capturing this bifurcation. We identify a particular topological structure at bifurcation consisting of a main synchronized cluster, the oscillator that desynchronizes at bifurcation, and an intermediary node connecting them. Utilizing this structure and ensemble averages we derive an analytic expression for the mismatch between the true bifurcation from global to partial synchronization and its estimate calculated via the collective coordinate approach. This allows to calibrate the standard collective coordinate approach without prior knowledge of which node will desynchronize. We introduce a second mesoscopic reduction, utilizing the same particular topological structure, which allows for a quantitative dynamical description of the phases near bifurcation. The mesoscopic reductions significantly reduce the computational complexity of the collective coordinate approach, reducing from $mathcal{O}(N^2)$ to $mathcal{O}(1)$. We perform numerical simulations for ErdH{o}s-Renyi networks and for modified Barabasi-Albert networks demonstrating excellent quantitative agreement at and close to bifurcation.

Model reduction techniques have been widely used to study the collective behavior of globally coupled oscillators. However, most approaches assume that there are infinitely many oscillators. Here we propose a new ansatz, based on the collective coordinate approach, that reproduces the collective dynamics of the Kuramoto model for finite networks to high accuracy, yields the same bifurcation structure in the thermodynamic limit of infinitely many oscillators as previous approaches, and additionally captures the dynamics of the order parameter in the thermodynamic limit, including critical slowing down that results from a cascade of saddle-node bifurcations.
Synchronization is critical for system function in applications ranging from cardiac pacemakers to power grids. Existing optimization techniques rely largely on global information, and while they induce certain local properties, those alone do not yield optimal systems. Therefore, while useful for designing man-made systems, existing theory provides limited insight into self-optimization of naturally-occurring systems that rely on local information and offer limited potential for decentralized optimization. Here we present a method for grass-roots optimization of synchronization, which is a multiscale mechanism involving local optimizations of smaller subsystems that are coordinated to collectively optimize an entire system, and the dynamics of such systems are particularly robust to islanding or targeted attacks. In addition to shedding light on self-optimization in natural systems, grass-roots optimization can also support the parallelizable and scalable engineering of man-made systems.
Collective behavior plays a key role in the function of a wide range of physical, biological, and neurological systems where empirical evidence has recently uncovered the prevalence of higher-order interactions, i.e., structures that represent interactions between more than just two individual units, in complex network structures. Here, we study the optimization of collective behavior in networks with higher-order interactions encoded in clique complexes. Our approach involves adapting the Synchrony Alignment Function framework to a new composite Laplacian matrix that encodes multi-order interactions including, e.g., both dyadic and triadic couplings. We show that as higher-order coupling interactions are equitably strengthened, so that overall coupling is conserved, the optimal collective behavior improves. We find that this phenomenon stems from the broadening of a composite Laplacians eigenvalue spectrum, which improves the optimal collective behavior and widens the range of possible behaviors. Moreover, we find in constrained optimization scenarios that a nontrivial, ideal balance between the relative strengths of pair-wise and higher-order interactions leads to the strongest collective behavior supported by a network. This work provides insight into how systems balance interactions of different types to optimize or broaden their dynamical range of behavior, especially for self-regulating systems like the brain.
We analyze accuracy of different low-dimensional reductions of the collective dynamics in large populations of coupled phase oscillators with intrinsic noise. Three approximations are considered: (i) the Ott-Antonsen ansatz, (ii) the Gaussian ansatz, and (iii) a two-cumulant truncation of the circular cumulant representation of the original systems dynamics. For the latter we suggest a closure, which makes the truncation, for small noise, a rigorous first-order correction to the Ott-Antonsen ansatz, and simultaneously is a generalization of the Gaussian ansatz. The Kuramoto model with intrinsic noise, and the population of identical noisy active rotators in excitable states with the Kuramoto-type coupling, are considered as examples to test validity of these approximations. For all considered cases, the Gaussian ansatz is found to be more accurate than the Ott-Antonsen one for high-synchrony states only. The two-cumulant approximation is always superior to both other approximations.
Several complex systems can be modeled as large networks in which the state of the nodes continuously evolves through interactions among neighboring nodes, forming a high-dimensional nonlinear dynamical system. One of the main challenges of Network Science consists in predicting the impact of network topology and dynamics on the evolution of the states and, especially, on the emergence of collective phenomena, such as synchronization. We address this problem by proposing a Dynamics Approximate Reduction Technique (DART) that maps high-dimensional (complete) dynamics unto low-dimensional (reduced) dynamics while preserving the most salient features, both topological and dynamical, of the original system. DART generalizes recent approaches for dimension reduction by allowing the treatment of complex-valued dynamical variables, heterogeneities in the intrinsic properties of the nodes as well as modular networks with strongly interacting communities. Most importantly, we identify three major reduction procedures whose relative accuracy depends on whether the evolution of the states is mainly determined by the intrinsic dynamics, the degree sequence, or the adjacency matrix. We use phase synchronization of oscillator networks as a benchmark for our threefold method. We successfully predict the synchronization curves for three phase dynamics (Winfree, Kuramoto, theta) on the stochastic block model. Moreover, we obtain the bifurcations of the Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model on the mean stochastic block model with asymmetric blocks and we show numerically the existence of periphery chimera state on the two-star graph. This allows us to highlight the critical role played by the asymmetry of community sizes on the existence of chimera states. Finally, we systematically recover well-known analytical results on explosive synchronization by using DART for the Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model on the star graph.
