We investigate the synchronization behavior and the emergence of chimera states in a system of two interacting populations of maps possessing chaotic neural-like dynamics. We characterize four collective states on the space of coupling parameters of the system: complete synchronization, generalized synchronization, chimera states, and incoherence. We quantify the information exchange between the two neuron populations in chimera states. We have found a well-defined direction of the flow of information in chimera states, from the desynchronized population to the synchronized one. The incoherent population functions as a driver of the coherent neuron population in a chimera state. This feature is independent of the population sizes or population partitions. Our results yield insight into the communication mechanisms arising in brain processes such as unihemispheric sleep and epileptic seizures that have been associated to chimera states.

Systems of oscillators subject to time-dependent noise typically achieve synchronization for long times when their mutual coupling is sufficiently strong. The dynamical process whereby synchronization is reached can be thought of as a growth process in which an interface formed by the local phase field gradually roughens and eventually saturates. Such a process is here shown to display the generic scale invariance of the one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class, including a Tracy-Widom probability distribution for phase fluctuations around their mean. This is revealed by numerical explorations of a variety of oscillator systems: rings of generic phase oscillators and rings of paradigmatic limit-cycle oscillators, like Stuart-Landau and van der Pol. It also agrees with analytical expectations derived under conditions of strong mutual coupling. The nonequilibrium critical behavior that we find is robust and transcends the details of the oscillators considered. Hence, it may well be accessible to experimental ensembles of oscillators in the presence of e.g. thermal noise.

Impact of noise in coupled oscillators with pairwise interactions has been extensively explored. Here, we study stochastic second-order coupled Kuramoto oscillators with higher-order interactions, and show that as noise strength increases the critical points associated with synchronization transitions shift toward higher coupling values. By employing the perturbation analysis, we obtain an expression for the forward critical point as a function of inertia and noise strength. Further, for overdamped systems we show that as noise strength increases, the first-order transition switches to second-order even for higher-order couplings. We include a discussion on nature of critical points obtained through Ott-Antonsen ansatz.

Interacting individuals in complex systems often give rise to coherent motion exhibiting coordinated global structures. Such phenomena are ubiquitously observed in nature, from cell migration, bacterial swarms, animal and insect groups, and even human societies. Primary mechanisms responsible for the emergence of collective behavior have been extensively identified, including local alignments based on average or relative velocity, non-local pairwise repulsive-attractive interactions such as distance-based potentials, interplay between local and non-local interactions, and cognitive-based inhomogeneous interactions. However, discovering how to adapt these mechanisms to modulate emergent behaviours remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that it is possible to generate coordinated structures in collective behavior at desired moments with intended global patterns by fine-tuning an inter-agent interaction rule. Our strategy employs deep neural networks, obeying the laws of dynamics, to find interaction rules that command desired collective structures. The decomposition of interaction rules into distancing and aligning forces, expressed by polynomial series, facilitates the training of neural networks to propose desired interaction models. Presented examples include altering the mean radius and size of clusters in vortical swarms, timing of transitions from random to ordered states, and continuously shifting between typical modes of collective motions. This strategy can even be leveraged to superimpose collective modes, resulting in hitherto unexplored but highly practical hybrid collective patterns, such as protective security formations. Our findings reveal innovative strategies for creating and controlling collective motion, paving the way for new applications in robotic swarm operations, active matter organisation, and for the uncovering of obscure interaction rules in biological systems.

Centrifugation of erythrocytes (aka Red Blood Cells, RBCs) in a self-forming Percoll gradient is a protocol often used as a way to sort RBCs by age. However, a pattern formation of discrete bands is systematically observed along the continuous density gradient. Although early studies mentioned that aggregation between cells might modify their spatial distribution, it is debated whether a population with continuous density distribution can form discrete bands. Here, we develop a continuity equation, considering the aggregation of cells with a continuous density distribution, which describes the macroscopic evolution of the RBC volume concentration in a density gradient. The numerical solutions demonstrate that the competition between iso-density distribution and aggregation is sufficient to create band patterns. Our model reproduces the temporal evolution observed in the conventional experimental protocol, but also predicts several types of bifurcation-like behaviors for the steady-state patterns in constant gradients, when the volume fraction and aggregation energy of the cells are varied. We threrefore discovered that the competition between RBC aggregation and iso-density distribution is a novel physical mechanism leading to pattern formation.

I introduce a new approach to semantic information based upon the influence of erasure operations (interventions) upon distributions of a system's future trajectories through its phase space. Semantic (meaningful) information is distinguished from syntactic information by the property of having some intrinsic causal power on the future of a given system. As Shannon famously stated, syntactic information is a simple property of probability distributions (the elementary Shannon expression), or correlations between two subsystems and thus does not tell us anything about the meaning of a given message. Kolchinsky & Wolpert (2018) introduced a powerful framework for computing semantic information, which employs interventions upon the state of a system (either initial or dynamic) to erase syntactic information that might influence the viability of a subsystem (such as an organism in an environment). In this work I adapt this framework such that rather than using the viability of a subsystem, we simply observe the changes in future trajectories through a system's phase space as a result of informational interventions (erasures or scrambling). This allows for a more general formalisation of semantic information that does not assume a primary role for the viability of a subsystem (to use examples from Kolchinsky & Wolpert (2018), a rock, a hurricane, or a cell). Many systems of interest have a semantic component, such as a neural network, but may not have such an intrinsic connection to viability as living organisms or dissipative structures. Hence this simple approach to semantic information could be applied to any living, non-living or technological system in order to quantify whether a given quantity of syntactic information within it also has semantic or causal power.

For real-world complex system constantly enduring perturbation, to achieve survival goal in changing yet unknown environments, the central problem is designing a self-adaptation strategy instead of fixed control strategies, which enables system to adjust its internal multi-scale structure according to environmental feedback. Inspired by thermodynamics, we develop a self-adaptive network utilizing only macroscopic information to achieve desired landscape through reconfiguring itself in unknown environments. By continuously estimating environment entropy, our designed self-adaptive network can adaptively realize desired landscape represented by topological measures. The adaptability of this network is achieved under several scenarios, including confinement on phase space and geographic constraint. The adaptation process is described by relative entropy corresponding to the Boltzmann H function, which decreases with time following unique power law distinguishing our self-adaptive network from memoryless systems. Moreover, we demonstrate the transformability of our self-adaptive network, as a critical mechanism of complex system resilience, allowing for transitions from one target landscape to another. Compared to data-driven methods, our self-adaptive network is understandable without careful choice of learning architecture and parameters. Our designed self-adaptive network could help to understand system intelligence through the lens of thermodynamics.
对于现实世界中不断经受扰动的复杂系统来说,要在不断变化的未知环境中实现生存目标,核心问题是设计一种自适应策略,而不是固定的控制策略,使系统能够根据环境反馈调整其内部多尺度结构。受热力学的启发,我们开发了一种自适应网络,它只利用宏观信息,通过在未知环境中重新配置自身来实现理想的景观。通过不断估计环境熵,我们设计的自适应网络可以自适应地实现以拓扑测量为代表的理想景观。该网络的适应性是在多种情况下实现的,包括对相空间的限制和地理限制。适应过程由与波尔兹曼 H 函数相对应的相对熵来描述,该熵随时间降低,遵循独特的幂律,将我们的自适应网络与无记忆系统区分开来。此外,我们还展示了自适应网络的可转换性,这是复杂系统复原力的关键机制,允许从一个目标景观转换到另一个目标景观。我们设计的自适应网络有助于从热力学的角度理解系统智能。

The model by Hu and Cai [Phys. Rev. Lett., Vol. 111(13) (2013)1 ] describes the self-organization of vascular networks for transport of fluids from source to sinks. Diameters, and thereby conductances, of vessel segments evolve so as to minimize a cost functional E. The cost is the trade-off between the power required for pumping the fluid and the energy consumption for vessel maintenance. The model has been used to show emergence of cyclic structures in the presence of locally fluctuating demand, i.e. non-constant net flow at sink nodes. Under rapid and sufficiently large fluctuations, the dynamics exhibits bistability of tree-like and cyclic network structures. We compare these solutions in terms of the cost functional E. Close to the saddle-node bifurcation giving rise to the cyclic solutions, we find a parameter regime where the tree-like solution rather than the cyclic solution is cost-optimal. Further increase of fluctuation amplitude then leads to an additional transition at which the cyclic solution becomes optimal. The findings hold both in a small system of one source and two sinks and in an empirical vascular network with hundreds of sinks. In the small system, we further analyze the case of slower fluctuations, i.e., on the same time scale as network adaptation. We find that the noisy dynamics settles around the cyclic structures even when these structures are not cost-optimal.

We investigate the dynamics of the adaptive Kuramoto model in the continuum limit with slow adaptation. This model is distinguished by dense multistability, where multiple states coexist for the same system parameters. The underlying cause of this multistability is that some oscillators can lock at different phases or switch between locking and drifting depending on their initial conditions. We identify new states, such as two-cluster states. To simplify the analysis we introduce an approximate reduction of the model via row-averaging of the coupling matrix. We derive a self-consistency equation for the reduced model and present a stability diagram illustrating the effects of positive and negative adaptation. Our theoretical findings are validated through numerical simulations of a large finite system. Comparisons to previous work highlight the significant influence of adaptation on synchronization behavior.

I formulate the theory of three dimensional "Malthusian flocks" -- i.e., coherently moving collections of self-propelled entities (such as living creatures) which are being "born" and "dying" during their motion -- whose constituents all have a preference for having their velocity vectors lie parallel to the same two-dimensional plane. I determine the universal scaling exponents characterizing such systems exactly, finding that the dynamical exponent $z=3/2$, the "anisotropy" exponent $zeta=3/4$, and the "roughness" exponent $chi=-1/2$. I also give the scaling laws implied by these exponents.
