Book Patterns of Synchrony and Disorder in Networks of Coupled Oscillators

Download or read book Patterns of Synchrony and Disorder in Networks of Coupled Oscillators written by Oleh Omelʹchenko and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synchronization of coupled oscillators manifests itself in many natural and man-made systems, including cyrcadian clocks, central pattern generators, laser arrays, power grids, chemical and electrochemical oscillators, only to name a few. The mathematical description of this phenomenon is often based on the paradigmatic Kuramoto model, which represents each oscillator by one scalar variable, its phase. When coupled, phase oscillators constitute a high-dimensional dynamical system, which exhibits complex behaviour, ranging from synchronized uniform oscillation to quasiperiodicity and chaos. The corresponding collective rhythms can be useful or harmful to the normal operation of various systems, therefore they have been the subject of much research. Initially, synchronization phenomena have been studied in systems with all-to-all (global) and nearest-neighbour (local) coupling, or on random networks. However, in recent decades there has been a lot of interest in more complicated coupling structures, which take into account the ...

Book Patterns of Synchrony in Complex Networks of Adaptively Coupled Oscillators

Download or read book Patterns of Synchrony in Complex Networks of Adaptively Coupled Oscillators written by Rico Berner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this thesis is the interplay of synchrony and adaptivity in complex networks. Synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon observed in different contexts in physics, chemistry, biology, neuroscience, medicine, socioeconomic systems, and engineering. Most prominently, synchronization takes place in the brain, where it is associated with cognitive capacities like learning and memory, but is also a characteristic of neurological diseases like Parkinson and epilepsy. Adaptivity is common in many networks in nature and technology, where the connectivity changes in time, i.e., the strength of the coupling is continuously adjusted depending upon the dynamic state of the system, for instance synaptic neuronal plasticity in the brain. This research contributes to a fundamental understanding of various synchronization patterns, including hierarchical multifrequency clusters, chimeras and other partial synchronization states. After a concise survey of the fundamentals of adaptive and complex dynamical networks and synaptic plasticity, in the first part of the thesis the existence and stability of cluster synchronization in globally coupled adaptive networks is discussed for simple paradigmatic phase oscillators as well as for a more realistic neuronal oscillator model with spike-timing dependent plasticity. In the second part of the thesis the interplay of adaptivity and connectivity is investigated for more complex network structures like nonlocally coupled rings, random networks, and multilayer systems. Besides presenting a plethora of novel, sometimes intriguing patterns of synchrony, the thesis makes a number of pioneering methodological advances, where rigorous mathematical proofs are given in the Appendices. These results are of interest not only from a fundamental point of view, but also with respect to challenging applications in neuroscience and technological systems.

Book Controlling Synchronization Patterns in Complex Networks

Download or read book Controlling Synchronization Patterns in Complex Networks written by Judith Lehnert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research aims to achieve a fundamental understanding of synchronization and its interplay with the topology of complex networks. Synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon observed in different contexts in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and engineering. Most prominently, synchronization takes place in the brain, where it is associated with several cognitive capacities but is - in abundance - a characteristic of neurological diseases. Besides zero-lag synchrony, group and cluster states are considered, enabling a description and study of complex synchronization patterns within the presented theory. Adaptive control methods are developed, which allow the control of synchronization in scenarios where parameters drift or are unknown. These methods are, therefore, of particular interest for experimental setups or technological applications. The theoretical framework is demonstrated on generic models, coupled chemical oscillators and several detailed examples of neural networks.

Download or read book On Coexistence Patterns written by Sindre W. Haugland and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-20 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about coexistence patterns in ensembles of globally coupled nonlinear oscillators. Coexistence patterns in this respect are states of a dynamical system in which the dynamics in some parts of the system differ significantly from those in other parts, even though there is no underlying structural difference between the different parts. In other words, these asymmetric patterns emerge in a self-organized manner. As our main model, we use ensembles of various numbers of Stuart-Landau oscillators, all with the same natural frequency and all coupled equally strongly to each other. Employing computer simulations, bifurcation analysis and symmetry considerations, we uncover the mechanism behind a wide range of complex patterns found in these ensembles. Our starting point is the creation of so-called chimeras, which are subsequently treated within a new and broader context of related states.

Book Chimera Patterns in Networks

Download or read book Chimera Patterns in Networks written by Anna Zakharova and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book devoted to chimera states - peculiar partial synchronization patterns in networks. Providing an overview of the state of the art in research on this topic, it explores how these hybrid states, which are composed of spatially separated domains of synchronized and desynchronized behavior, arise surprisingly in networks of identical units and symmetric coupling topologies. The book not only describes various types of chimeras, but also discusses the role of time delay, stochasticity, and network topology for these synchronization-desynchronization patterns. Moreover, it addresses the question of robustness and control of chimera states, which have various applications in physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering. This book is intended for researchers with a background in physics, applied mathematics, or engineering. Of great interest to specialists working on related problems, it is also a valuable resource for newcomers to the field and other scientists working on the control of spatio-temporal patterns.

Book Multiscale Models of Brain Disorders

Download or read book Multiscale Models of Brain Disorders written by Vassilis Cutsuridis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on our current understanding of brain dynamics in various brain disorders (e.g. epilepsy, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease) and how the multi-scale, multi-level tools of computational neuroscience can enhance this understanding. In recent years, there have been significant advances in the study of the dynamics of the disordered brain at both the microscopic and the macroscopic levels. This understanding can be furthered by the application of multi-scale computational models as integrative principles that may link single neuron dynamics and the dynamics of local and distant brain regions observed using human EEG, ERPs, MEG, LFPs and fMRI. Focusing on the computational models that are used to study movement, memory and cognitive disorders as well as epilepsy and consciousness related diseases, the book brings together physiologists and anatomists investigating cortical circuits; cognitive neuroscientists studying brain dynamics and behavior by means of EEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI); and computational neuroscientists using neural modeling techniques to explore local and large-scale disordered brain dynamics. Covering topics that have a significant impact on the field of medicine, neuroscience and computer science, the book appeals to a diverse group of investigators.

Book Synchronization in Networks of Nonlinear Circuits

Download or read book Synchronization in Networks of Nonlinear Circuits written by Mattia Frasca and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses synchronization in networks of coupled systems. It illustrates the main aspects of the phenomenon through concise theoretical results and code, allowing readers to reproduce them and encouraging readers to pursue their own experimentation. The book begins by introducing the mathematical representation of nonlinear circuits and the code for their simulation. This is followed by a brief account of the concept of the complex network, which describes the main aspects of complex networks and the main model types, with a particular focus on the code used to study and reproduce the models. The focus then shifts to the process through which independent nonlinear circuits that follow different trajectories without coupling share some properties of their motion: synchronization. The authors present the main techniques for studying synchronization in complex networks, including the major measures, the stability properties and control techniques. The book then moves on to advanced topics in synchronization of complex networks by examining forms of synchronization in which not all the units share the same trajectory, namely chimera states, clustering synchronization, and relay and remote synchronization. Simple codes for experimentation with these topics and control methods are also provided. In closing, the book addresses the problem of synchronization in time-varying networks.
