Abstract

The Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model is a generalization of the well-known Kuramoto model that adds a phase-lag paramater or "frustration" to a network of phase-coupled oscillators. The Kuramoto model is a flow of gradient type, but adding a phase-lag breaks the gradient structure, significantly complicating the analysis of the model. We present several results determining the stability of phase-locked configurations: the first of these gives a sufficient condition for stability, and the second a sufficient condition for instability. In fact, the instability criterion gives a count, modulo 2, of the dimension of the unstable manifold to a fixed point and having an odd count is a sufficient condition for instability of the fixed point. We also present numerical results for both small ( ) and large ( ) collections of Kuramoto-Sakaguchi oscillators.
