alpha-Kuramoto partitions: graph partitions from the frustrated Kuramoto
model generalise equitable partitions    [PDF]

Stephen Kirkland, Simone Severini

The Kuramoto model describes the collective dynamics of a system of coupled oscillators. An alpha-Kuramoto partition is a graph partition induced by the Kuramoto model, when the oscillators include a phase frustration parameter. We prove that every equitable partition is an alpha-Kuramoto partition, but that the converse does necessarily not hold. We give an exact characterisation of alpha-Kuramoto bipartitions.
