Time-varying networks based on activation and deactivation mechanisms

A class of models for activity-driven networks is proposed in which nodes vary in two states: active and inactive.Only active nodes can receive links from others which represent instantaneous dynamical interactions. The evolution of the network couples the addition of new nodes and state transitions of old ones. The active group changes with activated nodes entering and deactivated ones leaving. A general differential equation framework is developed to study the degree distribution of nodes of integrated networks where four different schemes are formulated.     

Exploring the role of inhibitory coupling in duplex networks

The electrical coupling of myocytes and fibroblasts can play a role in inhibiting electrical impluse propagation in cardiac muscle. To understand the function of fibroblast–myocyte coupling in the aging heart, the spiral-wave dynamics in the duplex networks with inhibitory coupling is numerically investigated by the Br–Eiswirth model. The numerical results show that the inhibitory coupling can change the wave amplitude, excited phase duration and excitability of the system. When the related parameters are properly chosen, the inhibitory coupling can induce local abnormal oscillation in the system and the Eckhaus instability of the spiral wave. For the dense inhibitory network, the maximal decrement(maximal increment) in the excited phase duration can reach 24.3%(13.4%), whereas the maximal decrement in wave amplitude approaches 28.1%. Upon increasing the inhibitory coupling strength, the system excitability is reduced and even completely suppressed when the interval between grid points in the inhibitory network is small enough. Moreover, the inhibitory coupling can lead to richer phase transition scenarios of the system, such as the transition from a stable spiral wave to turbulence and the transition from a meandering spiral wave to a planar wave. In addition, the self-sustaining planar wave, the unique meandering of spiral wave and inward spiral wave are observed. The physical mechanisms behind the phenomena are analyzed.     

Free-matrix-based time-dependent discontinuous Lyapunov functional for synchronization of delayed neural networks with sampled-data control

This paper is concerned with the synchronization of delayed neural networks via sampled-data control. A new technique, namely, the free-matrix-based time-dependent discontinuous Lyapunov functional approach, is adopted in constructing the Lyapunov functional, which takes advantage of the sampling characteristic of sawtooth input delay. Based on this discontinuous Lyapunov functional, some less conservative synchronization criteria are established to ensure that the slave system is synchronous with the master system. The desired sampled-data controller can be obtained through the use of the linear matrix inequality(LMI) technique. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and the improvements of the proposed methods.

时频域分形维数分析的光谱信号重叠峰解析算法

由于光谱谱线存在自然展宽、多普勒展宽、碰撞展宽等,使混合气体中多种成分的吸收光谱信号出现相邻谱峰重叠现象,给混合气体组成成分的定性或定量检测带来较大的困难。现有的方法在获取先验知识、处理精度、运算效率等方面存在不足。提出基于时频域分形维数分析的光谱信号重叠峰解析算法,结合小波的多尺度观测能力和分形的自相似度的度量能力,识别、定位和解析光谱信号中的重叠峰。首先利用小波对具有重叠谱峰的光谱信号进行光谱频率域和尺度域的分析,然后对该时频域的光谱信号在同一光谱频率下的多尺度数据进行自相似性度量和分形计算。逐频率计算后得到光谱信号在频率域的分形维数曲线。该曲线体现了光谱信号在不同尺度的自相似性,其极值位置与光谱信号的各独立峰的位置具有相关性。依据此特性,结合分形曲线的特征参数,最后利用神经网络解析出对应混合气体成分的混叠在一起的各个独立谱峰。该方法利用小波的多分辨率特性,对信号进行不同尺度的精细度量。分形模型则提高了系统解析复杂信号的能力,对重叠程度高的多谱峰重叠信号也有很强的处理能力。借助人工神经网络,实现了整个算法的自动测量。通过实验结果分析,验证了算法的有效性,并讨论影响算法效果的主要因素。     

Epidemic spreading on random surfer networks with infected avoidance strategy

In this paper, we study epidemic spreading on random surfer networks with infected avoidance(IA) strategy. In particular, we consider that susceptible individuals' moving direction angles are affected by the current location information received from infected individuals through a directed information network. The model is mainly analyzed by discrete-time numerical simulations. The results indicate that the IA strategy can restrain epidemic spreading effectively. However,when long-distance jumps of individuals exist, the IA strategy's effectiveness on restraining epidemic spreading is heavily reduced. Finally, it is found that the influence of the noises from information transferring process on epidemic spreading is indistinctive.

Attractive target wave patterns in complex networks consisting of excitable nodes

This review describes the investigations of oscillatory complex networks consisting of excitable nodes,focusing on the target wave patterns or say the target wave attractors.A method of dominant phase advanced driving(DPAD) is introduced to reveal the dynamic structures in the networks supporting oscillations,such as the oscillation sources and the main excitation propagation paths from the sources to the whole networks.The target center nodes and their drivers are regarded as the key nodes which can completely determine the corresponding target wave patterns.Therefore,the center(say node A) and its driver(say node B) of a target wave can be used as a label,(A,B),of the given target pattern.The label can give a clue to conveniently retrieve,suppress,and control the target waves.Statistical investigations,both theoretically from the label analysis and numerically from direct simulations of network dynamics,show that there exist huge numbers of target wave attractors in excitable complex networks if the system size is large,and all these attractors can be labeled and easily controlled based on the information given by the labels.The possible applications of the physical ideas and the mathematical methods about multiplicity and labelability of attractors to memory problems of neural networks are briefly discussed.     

Network dynamics and its relationships to topology and coupling structure in excitable complex networks

All dynamic complex networks have two important aspects, pattern dynamics and network topology. Discovering different types of pattern dynamics and exploring how these dynamics depend or/network topologies are tasks of both great theoretical importance and broad practical significance. In this paper we study the oscillatory behaviors of excitable complex networks （ECNs） and find some interesting dynamic behaviors of ECNs in oscillatory probability, the multiplicity of oscillatory attractors, period distribution, and different types of oscillatory patterns （e.g., periodic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic）. In these aspects, we further explore strikingly sharp differences among network dynamics induced by different topologies （random or scale-free topologies） and different interaction structures （symmetric or asymmetric couplings）. The mechanisms behind these differences are explained physically.     

Twisted injectivity in projected entangled pair states and the classification of quantum phases

We introduce a class of projected entangled pair states (PEPS) which is based on a group symmetry twisted by a 3-cocycle of the group. This twisted symmetry is expressed as a matrix product operator (MPO) with bond dimension greater than 1 and acts on the virtual boundary of a PEPS tensor. We show that it gives rise to a new standard form for PEPS from which we construct a family of local Hamiltonians which are gapped, frustration-free and include fixed points of the renormalization group flow. Based on this insight, we advance the classification of 2D gapped quantum spin systems by showing how this new standard form for PEPS determines the emergent topological order of these local Hamiltonians. Specifically, we identify their universality class as Dijkgraaf–Witten topological quantum field theory (TQFT).
