In this article, the collective behavior of a set of coupled damped driven pendula with finite inertia was analyzed, and it was shown that the synchronization of the oscillators exhibits a first order phase transition synchronization onset, substantially different from the second order transition obtained in the case of no inertia.
Abstract
We analyze the collective behavior of a set of coupled damped driven pendula with finite (large) inertia, and show that the synchronization of the oscillators exhibits a first order phase transition synchronization onset, substantially different from the second order transition obtained in the case of no inertia. There is hysteresis between two macroscopic states, a weakly and a strongly coherent synchronized state, depending on the coupling and the initial state of the oscillators. A self-consistent theory is shown to determine these cooperative phenomena and to predict the observed numerical data in specific examples. [S0031-9007(97)02614-8]

Critical phenomena in complex networks

TL;DR: A wide range of critical phenomena in equilibrium and growing networks including the birth of the giant connected component, percolation, $k$-core percolations, phenomena near epidemic thresholds, condensation transitions,critical phenomena in spin models placed on networks, synchronization, and self-organized criticality effects in interacting systems on networks are mentioned.

Analysis of a power grid using a Kuramoto-like model

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that there is a link between the Kuramoto paradigm and another system of synchronized oscillators, namely an electrical power distribution grid of generators and consumers, and under some necessary approximations a class of Kuramoto-like models, those with bimodal distribution of the frequencies, is most appropriate for the power-grid.

On the Critical Coupling for Kuramoto Oscillators

TL;DR: In this article, the concept of phase cohesiveness is introduced as an analysis tool and performance index for synchronization in the finite-dimensional Kuramoto model and a necessary and sufficient condition on the critical coupling strength to achieve synchronization is presented.
