Delve into the fascinating realm of coupled oscillators with Dr. Yoshiki Kuramoto's 2023 Jürgen Moser Lecture. Explore the pioneering contributions to nonlinear systems, oscillatory dynamics, synchrony, chemical turbulence, and spatio-temporal chaos. Journey through a half-century of research, beginning with the oscillating Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction and the derivation of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. Discover the origins of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation and Kuramoto model, and understand their significance in the field. Examine the practical and conceptual importance of dynamical reduction schemes in coupled oscillators, and learn how these simplified models serve as reliable guides in understanding complex real-world phenomena. Gain insights into how the analysis of reduced oscillator models contributes to better comprehension, control, and prediction of oscillator dynamics in various scientific disciplines.
