We study the phenomenon of multistability in mutualistic networks of plants and pollinators, where one desired state in which all species coexist competes with multiple states in which some species are gone extinct. In this setting, we examine the relation between the endangerment of pollinator species and their position within the mutualistic network. To this end, we compare endangerment rankings which are derived from the species' probabilities of going extinct due to random shock perturbations with rankings obtained from different network theoretic centrality metrics. We find that a pollinator's endangerment is strongly linked to its degree of mutualistic specialization and its position within the core-periphery structure of its mutualistic network, with the most endangered species being specialists in the outer periphery. Since particularly well established instances of such peripheral areas are tree-shaped structures which stem from links between nodes/species in the outermost shell of the network, we summarized our findings in the admittedly ambiguous slogan 'keep the bees off the trees'. Finally, we challenge the generality of our findings by testing whether the title of this work still applies when being located in the outer periphery allows pollinators to avoid competitive pressure.

Using a model of the FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillator in the excitable regime, we investigate the influence of the L'evy noise's properties on the effect of coherence resonance. In particular, we demonstrate that the L'evy noise can be a constructive or destructive factor providing for enhancement or suppression of noise-induced coherence. We show that the positive or negative role of the L'evy noise impact is dictated by the noise's stability index and skewness parameter. The correlation time and the deviation of interspike intervals used in this analysis are shown to be maximized or minimized for an appropriate choice of the noise parameters. Numerical simulations are combined with experiments on an electronic circuit showing an excellent qualitative correspondence and proving thereby the robustness of the observed phenomena.

We present a phase autoencoder that encodes the asymptotic phase of a limit-cycle oscillator, a fundamental quantity characterizing its synchronization dynamics. This autoencoder is trained in such a way that its latent variables directly represent the asymptotic phase of the oscillator. The trained autoencoder can perform two functions without relying on the mathematical model of the oscillator: first, it can evaluate the asymptotic phase and phase sensitivity function of the oscillator; second, it can reconstruct the oscillator state on the limit cycle in the original space from the phase value as an input. Using several examples of limit-cycle oscillators, we demonstrate that the asymptotic phase and phase sensitivity function can be estimated only from time-series data by the trained autoencoder. We also present a simple method for globally synchronizing two oscillators as an application of the trained autoencoder.

One key challenge in Artificial Life is designing systems that display an emergence of complex behaviors. Many such systems depend on a high-dimensional parameter space, only a small subset of which displays interesting dynamics. Focusing on the case of continuous systems, we introduce the 'Phase Transition Finder'(PTF) algorithm, which can be used to efficiently generate parameters lying at the border between two phases. We argue that such points are more likely to display complex behaviors, and confirm this by applying PTF to Lenia showing it can increase the frequency of interesting behaviors more than two-fold, while remaining efficient enough for large-scale searches.

The widespread development and use of neural networks have significantly enriched a wide range of computer algorithms and promise higher speed at lower cost. However, the imitation of neural networks by means of modern computing substrates is highly inefficient, whereas physical realization of large scale networks remains challenging. Fortunately, delayed-feedback oscillators, being much easier to realize experimentally, represent promising candidates for the empirical implementation of neural networks and next generation computing architectures. In the current research, we demonstrate that coupled bistable delayed-feedback oscillators emulate a multilayer network, where one single-layer network is connected to another single-layer network through coupling between replica nodes, i.e. the multiplex network. We show that all the aspects of the multiplexing impact on wavefront propagation and stochastic resonance identified in multilayer networks of bistable oscillators are entirely reproduced in the dynamics of time-delay oscillators. In particular, varying the coupling strength allows suppressing and enhancing the effect of stochastic resonance, as well as controlling the speed and direction of both deterministic and stochastic wavefront propagation. All the considered effects are studied in numerical simulations and confirmed in physical experiments, showing an excellent correspondence and disclosing thereby the robustness of the observed phenomena.

Discrete (DTCs) and continuous time crystals (CTCs) are novel dynamical many-body states, that are characterized by robust self-sustained oscillations, emerging via spontaneous breaking of discrete or continuous time translation symmetry. DTCs are periodically driven systems that oscillate with a subharmonic of the drive, while CTCs are driven continuously and oscillate with a system inherent frequency. Here, we explore a phase transition from a continuous time crystal to a discrete time crystal. A CTC with a characteristic oscillation frequency $omega_mathrm{CTC}$ is prepared in a continuously pumped atom-cavity system. Modulating the pump intensity of the CTC with a frequency $omega_{mathrm{dr}}$ close to $2,omega_mathrm{CTC}$ leads to robust locking of $omega_mathrm{CTC}$ to $omega_{mathrm{dr}}/2$, and hence a DTC arises. This phase transition in a quantum many-body system is related to subharmonic injection locking of non-linear mechanical and electronic oscillators or lasers.

Collective motion provides a spectacular example of self-organization in Nature. Visual information plays a crucial role among various types of information in determining interactions. Recently, experiments have revealed that organisms such as fish and insects selectively utilize a portion, rather than the entirety, of visual information. Here, focusing on fish, we propose an agent-based model where the direction of attention is guided by visual stimuli received from the images of nearby fish. Our model reproduces a branching phenomenon where a fish selectively follows a specific individual as the distance between two or three nearby fish increases. Furthermore, our model replicates various patterns of collective motion in a group of agents, such as vortex, polarized school, swarm, and turning. We also discuss the topological nature of visual interaction, as well as the positional distribution of nearby fish and the map of pairwise and three-body interactions induced by them. Through a comprehensive comparison with existing experimental results, we clarify the roles of visual interactions and issues to be resolved by other forms of interactions.

Understanding the functional architecture of complex systems is crucial to illuminate their inner workings and enable effective methods for their prediction and control. Recent advances have introduced tools to characterise emergent macroscopic levels; however, while these approaches are successful in identifying when emergence takes place, they are limited in the extent they can determine how it does. Here we address this limitation by developing a computational approach to emergence, which characterises macroscopic processes in terms of their computational capabilities. Concretely, we articulate a view on emergence based on how software works, which is rooted on a mathematical formalism that articulates how macroscopic processes can express self-contained informational, interventional, and computational properties. This framework establishes a hierarchy of nested self-contained processes that determines what computations take place at what level, which in turn delineates the functional architecture of a complex system. This approach is illustrated on paradigmatic models from the statistical physics and computational neuroscience literature, which are shown to exhibit macroscopic processes that are akin to software in human-engineered systems. Overall, this framework enables a deeper understanding of the multi-level structure of complex systems, revealing specific ways in which they can be efficiently simulated, predicted, and controlled.

We consider a heterogeneous, globally coupled population of excitatory quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons with excitability adaptation due to a metabolic feedback associated with ketogenic diet, a form of therapy for epilepsy. Bifurcation analysis of a three-dimensional mean-field system derived in the framework of next-generation neural mass models allows us to explain the scenarios and suggest control strategies for the transitions between the neurophysiologically desired asynchronous states and the synchronous, seizure-like states featuring collective oscillations. We reveal two qualitatively different scenarios for the onset of synchrony. For weaker couplings, a bistability region between the lower- and the higher-activity asynchronous states unfolds from the cusp point, and the collective oscillations emerge via a supercritical Hopf bifurcation. For stronger couplings, one finds seven co-dimension two bifurcation points, including pairs of Bogdanov-Takens and generalized Hopf points, such that both lower- and higher-activity asynchronous states undergo transitions to collective oscillations, with hysteresis and jump-like behavior observed in vicinity of subcritical Hopf bifurcations. We demonstrate three control mechanisms for switching between asynchronous and synchronous states, involving parametric perturbation of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production rate, external stimulation currents, or pulse-like ATP shocks, and indicate a potential therapeutic advantage of hysteretic scenarios.
我们考虑了一种异质的、全局耦合的兴奋性四元整合-发射神经元群,这种神经元群的兴奋性因与生酮饮食(一种癫痫治疗方法)相关的代谢反馈而发生适应性变化。在下一代神经质量模型的框架内衍生出的三维均场系统的分岔分析使我们能够解释这些情况,并为神经生理学所需的异步状态和以集体振荡为特征的同步癫痫发作样状态之间的过渡提出控制策略。我们揭示了同步开始的两种定性不同的情况。对于弱耦合,低活性和高活性同步状态之间的双稳态区域从尖点开始展开,集体振荡通过超临界霍普夫分岔出现。对于强耦合,我们发现了七个共维二分岔点,包括一对波格丹诺夫-塔肯斯点和广义霍普夫点,这样低活度和高活度异步态都会过渡到集体振荡,在次临界霍普夫分岔点附近会观察到滞后和跳跃行为。我们展示了在异步态和同步态之间切换的三种控制机制,涉及三磷酸腺苷(ATP)产生率的参数扰动、外部刺激电流或脉冲式 ATP 冲击,并指出了滞后情景的潜在治疗优势。

Many important systems in nature are characterized by oscillations. To understand and interpret such behavior, researchers use the language of mathematical models, often in the form of differential equations. Nowadays, these equations can be derived using data-driven machine learning approaches, such as the white-box method 'Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics' (SINDy). In this paper, we show that to ensure the identification of sparse and meaningful models, it is crucial to identify the correct position of the system limit cycle in phase space. Therefore, we propose how the limit cycle position and the system's nullclines can be identified by applying SINDy to the data set with varying offsets, using three model evaluation criteria (complexity, coefficient of determination, generalization error). We successfully test the method on an oscillatory FitzHugh-Nagumo model and a more complex model consisting of two coupled cubic differential equations. Finally, we demonstrate that using this additional side information on the limit cycle in phase space can improve the success of model identification efforts in oscillatory systems.

Finally, we demonstrate\u0000that using this additional side information on the limit cycle in phase space\u0000can improve the success of model identification efforts in oscillatory systems.","PeriodicalId":501305,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139771532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
