Dynamics of the Chain of Oscillators with Long-Range Interaction: From Synchronization to Chaos

We consider a chain of nonlinear oscillators with long-range interaction of the type 1/l^{1+alpha}, where l is a distance between oscillators and 0< alpha <2. In the continues limit the system's dynamics is described by the Ginzburg-Landau equation with complex coefficients. Such a system has a new parameter alpha that is responsible for the complexity of the medium and that strongly influences possible regimes of the dynamics. We study different spatial-temporal patterns of the dynamics depending on alpha and show transitions from synchronization of the motion to broad-spectrum oscillations and to chaos.Comment: 22 pages, 10 figure

Fractional dynamics of coupled oscillators with long-range interaction

We consider one-dimensional chain of coupled linear and nonlinear oscillators with long-range power-wise interaction. The corresponding term in dynamical equations is proportional to $1/|n-m|^{\alpha+1}$. It is shown that the equation of motion in the infrared limit can be transformed into the medium equation with the Riesz fractional derivative of order $\alpha$, when $0<\alpha<2$. We consider few models of coupled oscillators and show how their synchronization can appear as a result of bifurcation, and how the corresponding solutions depend on $\alpha$. The presence of fractional derivative leads also to the occurrence of localized structures. Particular solutions for fractional time-dependent complex Ginzburg-Landau (or nonlinear Schrodinger) equation are derived. These solutions are interpreted as synchronized states and localized structures of the oscillatory medium.Comment: 34 pages, 18 figure

Fractional dynamics of systems with long-range interaction

We consider one-dimensional chain of coupled linear and nonlinear oscillators with long-range power wise interaction defined by a term proportional to 1/|n-m|^{\alpha+1}. Continuous medium equation for this system can be obtained in the so-called infrared limit when the wave number tends to zero. We construct a transform operator that maps the system of large number of ordinary differential equations of motion of the particles into a partial differential equation with the Riesz fractional derivative of order \alpha, when 0<\alpha<2. Few models of coupled oscillators are considered and their synchronized states and localized structures are discussed in details. Particularly, we discuss some solutions of time-dependent fractional Ginzburg-Landau (or nonlinear Schrodinger) equation.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial overlap with arXiv:nlin/051201
