Popis: This study investigates the suitability of the annealed approximation in high-dimensional systems characterized by dense networks with quenched link disorder, employing models of coupled oscillators. We demonstrate that dynamic equations governing dense-network systems converge to those of the complete-graph version in the thermodynamic limit, where link disorder fluctuations vanish entirely. Consequently, the annealed-network systems, where fluctuations are attenuated, also exhibit the same dynamic behavior in the thermodynamic limit. However, a significant discrepancy arises in the incoherent (disordered) phase wherein the finite-size behavior becomes critical in determining the steady-state pattern. To explicitly elucidate this discrepancy, we focus on identical oscillators subject to competitive attractive and repulsive couplings. In the incoherent phase of dense networks, we observe the manifestation of random irregular states. In contrast, the annealed approximation yields a symmetric (regular) incoherent state where two oppositely coherent clusters of oscillators coexist, accompanied by the vanishing order parameter. Our findings imply that the annealed approximation should be employed with caution even in dense-network systems, particularly in the disordered phase.
