title: Partial synchronization in diffusively time-delay coupled oscillator networks.
abstract: We study networks of diffusively time-delay coupled oscillatory units and we show that networks with certain symmetries can exhibit a form of incomplete synchronization called partial synchronization. We present conditions for the existence and stability of partial synchronization modes in networks of oscillatory units that satisfy a semipassivity property and have convergent internal dynamics.
