Figure 1. Transition from two-phase clusters to a two-dimensional chimera state.

Figure 1

Shown are snapshots of the real part of the complex variable W in (a)–(c). (a) Two-phase clusters obtained for parameter c2 = −0.7. Both phases are homogeneous. (b) Subclustering at c2 = −0.67. In this case, one phase is homogeneous, while the other one is split into two-phase clusters. (c) Two-dimensional chimera state found for c2 = −0.58. The inhomogeneous phase shows strongly incoherent dynamics. (d) Temporal evolution of the real part of W in a one-dimensional cut at x = 0 in (c). Other parameters read: c1 = 0.2, v = 0.1 and η = 0.66. Reprinted with permission from L. Schmidt, K. Schönleber, K. Krischer & V. García-Morales, Chaos 24, 013102 (2014).
