Abstract

In this paper, we study the emergent behavior of Kuramoto model with switching topology under the effect of uniform frustration. In our frameworks, the switching interaction topology contains a spanning tree in any switching mode. For the initial configuration distributed in an open half circle, we first exploit a similar procedure in [T. Zhu, Netw. Heterog. Media, 17(2):255–291, 2022] to conclude that the Kuramoto oscillators will be pushed into a small region at some instant before the first network switching. Then in a large coupling and small frustration regime, we lift the Kuramoto model to the second-order formulation and apply the matrix theory-based approach in [J.-G. Dong, S.-Y. Ha and D. Kim, Anal. Appl., 19(2):305–342, 2021] to derive the exponential fast frequency synchronization.
