Collective behaviors of the Lohe hermitian sphere model with inertia

We present a second-order extension of the first-order Lohe hermitian sphere(LHS) model and study its emergent asymptotic dynamics. Our proposed model incorporates an inertial effect as a second-order extension. The inertia term can generate an oscillatory behavior of particle trajectory in a small time interval(initial layer) which causes a technical difficulty for the application of monotonicity-based arguments. For emergent estimates, we employ two-point correlation function which is defined as an inner product between positions of particles. For a homogeneous ensemble with the same frequency matrix, we provide two sufficient frameworks in terms of system parameters and initial data to show that two-point correlation functions tend to the unity which is exactly the same as the complete aggregation. In contrast, for a heterogeneous ensemble with distinct frequency matrices, we provide a sufficient framework in terms of system parameters and initial data, which makes two-point correlation functions close to unity by increasing the principal coupling strength

Towards Almost Global Synchronization on the Stiefel Manifold

A graph $\mathcal{G}$ is referred to as $\mathsf{S}^1$-synchronizing if, roughly speaking, the Kuramoto-like model whose interaction topology is given by $\mathcal{G}$ synchronizes almost globally. The Kuramoto model evolves on the unit circle, \ie the $1$-sphere $\mathsf{S}^1$. This paper concerns generalizations of the Kuramoto-like model and the concept of synchronizing graphs on the Stiefel manifold $\mathsf{St}(p,n)$. Previous work on state-space oscillators have largely been influenced by results and techniques that pertain to the $\mathsf{S}^1$-case. It has recently been shown that all connected graphs are $\mathsf{S}^n$-synchronizing for all $n\geq2$. The previous point of departure may thus have been overly conservative. The $n$-sphere is a special case of the Stiefel manifold, namely $\mathsf{St}(1,n+1)$. As such, it is natural to ask for the extent to which the results on $\mathsf{S}^{n}$ can be extended to the Stiefel manifold. This paper shows that all connected graphs are $\mathsf{St}(p,n)$-synchronizing provided the pair $(p,n)$ satisfies $p\leq \tfrac{2n}{3}-1$
