The so-called "Kuramoto models" and similar ones represent a paradigmatic way to describe a number of synchronization phenomena. These are states into which incoherent systems may go, often as it occurs in phase transition, and concern a variety of cases, ranging form Physics to Neuroscience, from Biology to Engineering and even Social Sciences. They explain, at least qualitatively, a large variety of complex processes. In this paper, we review such models and the underlying mathematics, showing some of their peculiarities.
I cosiddetti "modelli di Kuramoto", e altri simili ad essi, rappresentano un modo paradigmatico per descrivere una serie di fenomeni di sincronizzazione, cioè stati a cui possono passare sistemi incoerenti, come capita spesso nelle transizioni di fase e in una moltitudine di casi, che vanno dalla Fisica alle Neuroscienze, dalla Biologia all'Ingegneria e persino alle Scienze Sociali. Questi fenomeni spiegano, almeno qualitativamente, una grande varietà di processi complessi. In questo articolo, passiamo in rassegna tali modelli e la matematica sottostante, mostrando alcune delle loro peculiarità
