Different Avalanche Behaviors in Different Specific Areas of a System Based on Neural Networks

Based on the standard self-organizing map (SOM) neural network model and an integrate-and-fire mecha-nism, we introduce a kind of coupled map lattice system to investigate scale-invariance behavior in the activity of modelneural populations. We find power-law distribution behavior of avalanche size in our model. But more importantly, wefind there are different avalanche distribution behaviors in different specific areas of our system, which are formed by thetopological learning process of the SOM net.

Based on the standard self-organizing map neural network model and an integrate-and-fire mechanism, we introduce a kind of coupled map lattice system to investigate scale-invariance behavior in the activity of model neural populations. We let the parameter β, which together with α represents the interactive strength between neurons, have different function forms, and we find the function forms and their parameters are very important to our model‘s avalanche dynamical behaviors, especially to the emergence of different avalanche behaviors in different areas of our system.

Avalanche dynamics of idealized neuron function in the brain on an uncorrelated random scale-free network

We study a simple model for a neuron function in a collective brain system. The neural network is composed of an uncorrelated configuration model (UCM) for eliminating the degree correlation of dynamical processes. The interaction of neurons is assumed to be isotropic and idealized. These neuron dynamics are similar to biological evolution in extremal dynamics with locally isotropic interaction but has a different time scale. The functioning of neurons takes place as punctuated patterns based on avalanche dynamics. In our model, the avalanche dynamics of neurons exhibit self-organized criticality which shows power-law behavior of the avalanche sizes. For a given network, the avalanche dynamic behavior is not changed with different degree exponents of networks, γ≥2.4 and various refractory periods referred to the memory effect, T_r. Furthermore, the avalanche size distributions exhibit power-law behavior in a single scaling region in contrast to other networks. However, return time distributions displaying spatiotemporal complexity have three characteristic time scaling regimes Thus, we find that UCM may be inefficient for holding a memory.     

Self-organized Criticality in a Model Based on Neural Network

Based on the LISSOM neural network model, we introduce a model to investigate self-organized criticality in the activity of neural populations. The influence of connection (synapse) between neurons has been adequately considered in this model. It is found to exhibit self-organized criticality (SOC) behavior under appropriate conditions. We also find that the learning process has promotive influence on emergence of SOC behavior. In addition, we analyze the influence of various factors of the model on the SOC behavior, which is characterized by the power-law behavior of the avalanche size distribution.

Furthermore the power-law exponent of the distribution and the average avalanche size are affected by the topology of the network.

Based on an integrate-and-fire mechanism, we investigate self-organized criticality of a simple neuron model on a modified BA scale-free network with aging nodes. In our model, we find that the distribution of avalanche size follows power-law behavior. The critical exponent τ depends on the aging exponent α. The structures of the network with aging of nodes change with an increase of α. The different topological structures lead to different behaviors in models of integrate-and-fire neurons.     

Influence of Different Connectivity Topologies in Small World Networks Modeling Earthquakes

We introduce the Olami-Feder-Christensen (OFC) model on a square lattice with some “rewired“ longrange connections having the properties of small world networks. We find that our model displays the power-law behavior, and connectivity topologies are very important to model‘s avalanche dynamical behaviors. Our model has some behaviors different from the OFC model on a small world network with “added“ long-range connections in our previous work [LIN Min, ZHAO Xiao-Wei, and CHEN Tian-Lun, Commun. Theor. Phys. (Beijing, China) 41 (2004) 557.].     

Anomalous Scaling Behaviors in a Rice-Pile Model with Two Different Driving Mechanisms

The moment analysis is applied to perform large scale simulations of the rice-pile model. We find that this model shows different scaling behavior depending on the driving mechanism used. With the noisy driving, the rice-pile model violates the finite-size scaling hypothesis, whereas, with fixed driving, it shows well defined avalanche exponents and displays good finite size scaling behavior for the avalanche size and time duration distributions.

Self-organized Criticality in Hierarchical Brain Network

It is shown that the cortical brain network of the macaque displays a hierarchically clustered organization and the neuron network shows small-world properties. Now the two factors will be considered in our model and the dynamical behavior of the model will be studied. We study the characters of the model and find that the distribution of avalanche size of the model follows power-law behavior.     

Self-organized Criticality in an Earthquake Model on Random Network

A simplified Olami-Feder-Christensen model on a random network has been studied. We propose a new toppling rule — when there is an unstable site toppling, the energy of the site is redistributed to its nearest neighbors randomly not averagely. The simulation results indicate that the model displays self-organized criticality when the system is conservative, and the avalanche size probability distribution of the system obeys finite size scaling. When the system is nonconservative, the model does not display scaling behavior. Simulation results of our model with different nearest neighbors q is also compared, which indicates that the spatial topology does not alter the critical behavior of the system.

Different hierarchy of avalanches observed in the bak-sneppen evolution model

A quantity &fmacr; denoting the average fitness of an ecosystem is introduced in the Bak-Sneppen model. Through this quantity, a different hierarchy of avalanches, &fmacr;(0) avalanche, is observed in the evolution of Bak-Sneppen model. An exact gap equation, governing the self-organization of the model, is presented in terms of &fmacr;. It is found that self-organized threshold &fmacr;(c) can be exactly obtained. Two basic exponents of the new avalanche tau, avalanche distribution, and D, avalanche dimension are given through simulations of one- and two-dimensional Bak-Sneppen models. It is suggested that &fmacr; may be a good quantity in determining the emergence of criticality.     

Driving rate effects in avalanche-mediated first-order phase transitions

We study the driving-rate and temperature dependence of the power-law exponents that characterize the avalanche distribution in first-order phase transitions. Measurements of acoustic emission in structural transitions in Cu-Zn-Al and Cu-Al-Ni are presented. We show how the observed behavior emerges within a general framework of competing time scales of avalanche relaxation, driving rate, and thermal fluctuations. We confirm our findings by numerical simulations of a prototype model.

We find that our model displays power-law behavior and the avalanche dynamical behavior is sensitive to the topological structure of networks. Furthermore, the exponent τ of the model depends on b, which weights the distance in comparison with the degree in the GBA network evolution.     

Sandpile on directed small-world networks

We numerically investigate the avalanche dynamics of the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld sandpile model on directed small-world networks. We find that the avalanche size and duration distribution follow a power law for all rewiring probabilities p. Specially, we find that, approaching the thermodynamic limit (L→∞), the values of critical exponents do not depend on p and are consistent with the mean-field solution in Euclidean space for any p>0. In addition, we measure the dynamic exponent in the relation between avalanche size and avalanche duration and find that the values of the dynamic exponents are also consistent with the mean-field values for any p>0.
