title: Chimera states on complex networks.
abstract: The model of nonlocally coupled identical phase oscillators on complex networks is investigated. We find the existence of chimera states in which identical oscillators evolve into distinct coherent and incoherent groups. We find that the coherent group of chimera states always contains the same oscillators no matter what the initial conditions are. The properties of chimera states and their dependence on parameters are investigated on both scale-free networks and Erdös-Rényi networks.
