Continuous and discontinuous transitions to synchronization
Continuous and discontinuous transitions to synchronization is a scholarly work, published in 2016 in ''Chaos''. The main subjects of the publication include computer science, electronic circuit topology, statistical physics, stochastic thermodynamics, synchronization, mathematics, synchronization, and Physarum polycephalum. The authors explain this drastic qualitative change as resulting from the co-existence of a particular synchronized macrostate together with the trivial incoherent macrostate, in a range of parameter values for which the latter is linearly stable.
