We numerically and analytically analyze transitions between different synchronous states in a network of globally coupled phase oscillators with attractive and repulsive interactions. The elements within the attractive or repulsive group are identical, but natural frequencies of the groups differ. In addition to a synchronous two-cluster state, the system exhibits a solitary state, when a single oscillator leaves the cluster of repulsive elements, as well as partially synchronous quasiperiodic dynamics. We demonstrate how the transitions between these states occur when the repulsion starts to prevail over attraction.

The attractive group remained fully synchronized even when the units were made nonidentical by sampling the frequencies from a normal distribution with zero mean and standard deviation of . Hence, the stability of the attractive group is not a numerical artifact.
64.
In the following, the time-averaged quantities are denoted by overlined letters.
65.
To obtain these quantities, we have averaged the frequencies over the time interval of 500 units, after the transient of 1000 units.
66.
Even for such large values as and , the smallest observed order parameter over 100 different initial conditions was 0.08, with the average being 0.2.
67.
We remind that we use the frame, corotating with the natural frequency of oscillators in the attractive group.
