TABLE I.

Categorization of the synchronous states: the name of the state is given as Snx: n is the major category index and x is composed of d, l+, l, and l0, where d stands for a drifting range of K, l for a locking range of K, l+, l, l0, respectively, for positive slope, negative slope, and zero slope of the curve (Ki,ϕi) in the locking range of K. ΔωΩ. For the details, see the text.
