| Many natural phenomena and industry applications can be modelled as networks of coupled oscillators, including firefly flashing, neuron firing, and power grid dynamics. A common occurrence in these systems is synchronisation, such that oscillators rotate with a common frequency or phase. Model reduction techniques aim to understand and quantify this low-dimensional emergent macroscopic behaviour. In this talk I will present recent advancements in the collective coordinate model reduction method, which is one of few methods that accurately captures collective synchronisation dynamics in the realistic case of finite networks. |
