Synchronization of oscillators in a Kuramoto-type model with generic coupling.

We study synchronization properties of coupled oscillators on networks that allow description in terms of global mean field coupling. These models generalize the standard Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model, allowing for different contributions of oscillators to the mean field and to different forces from the mean field on oscillators. We present the explicit solutions of self-consistency equations for the amplitude and frequency of the mean field in a parametric form, valid for noise-free and noise-driven oscillators. As an example, we consider spatially spreaded oscillators for which the coupling properties are determined by finite velocity of signal propagation.
