Spiral, Target, and Chimera Wave Structures in a Two-Dimensional Ensemble of Nonlocally Coupled van der Pol Oscillators

Resumo

The dynamics of a two-dimensional ensemble of nonlocally coupled van der Pol oscillators is studied by numerical simulation. The possibility of realization of regular spiral and target waves is established. The emergence of a new type of chimera structure realized on the basis of target waves with nonlocal coupling is shown.
