We study the emergence of local exponential synchronization in an ensemble of generalized heterogeneous Kuramoto oscillators with different intrinsic dynamics. In the classic Kuramoto model, intrinsic dynamics are given by the Kronecker flow with constant natural frequencies. We generalize the constant natural frequencies to smooth functions that depend on the state and time so that it can describe a more realistic situation arising from neuroscience. In this setting, the ensemble of generalized Kuramoto oscillators loses its synchronization even when the coupling strength is large. This leads to the study of a concept of "relaxed" synchronization, which is called "practical synchronization" in literature. In this new concept of "weak" synchronization, the phase diameter of the entire ensemble is uniformly bounded by some constant inversely proportional to the coupling strength. We focus on the complete synchronizability of a subensemble consisting of generalized Kuramoto oscillators with the same intrinsic dynamics; moreover, we provide several sufficient frameworks leading to local exponential synchronization of each homogeneous subensemble, although the whole ensemble is not fully synchronized. This is a generalization of an earlier analytical result regarding practical synchronization. We also provide several numerical simulations and compare them with analytical results. |
