Pattern formation in oscillatory complex networks consisting of excitable nodes.

چکیده
Oscillatory dynamics of complex networks has recently attracted great attention. In this paper we study pattern formation in oscillatory complex networks consisting of excitable nodes. We find that there exist a few center nodes and small skeletons for most oscillations. Complicated and seemingly random oscillatory patterns can be viewed as well-organized target waves propagating from center nodes along the shortest paths, and the shortest loops passing through both the center nodes and their driver nodes play the role of oscillation sources. Analyzing simple skeletons we are able to understand and predict various essential properties of the oscillations and effectively modulate the oscillations. These methods and results will give insights into pattern formation in complex networks and provide suggestive ideas for studying and controlling oscillations in neural networks.

متن کاملUniversal driving structure of self-sustained oscillatory complex networks
Recently, self-sustained oscillations in complex networks consisting of nonoscillatory nodes (network oscillators) have attracted great interest in diverse natural and social fields. Due to complexity of network behaviors, little is known so far about the basic structures and fundamental rules underlying the oscillations, not to mention the principles of how to control it. In this article we pr...
متن کاملSynchronization Line Defects in Oscillatory and Excitable Media
When the dynamics of a spatially distributed excitable or oscillatory medium is complex, synchronization defect lines may exist which lead to a variety of pattern formation processes. If a medium with period-n local dynamics supports spiral waves, such synchronization defect lines are necessary to reconcile the fact that n rotations of a spiral wave are needed to restore the entire concentratio...
متن کاملPhase Memory in Oscillatory Networks
As it was shown earlier, oscillatory networks consisting of limit-cycle oscillators interacting via complex-valued c onnec-tions can be u s e d for associative memory design. Phase memory as a special type of associative memory in oscillatory networks has been invented and studied. Detailed analysis of phase memory features of phasor networks related to oscilla-tory networks has been performed....
متن کاملControl of synchronization in delay-coupled neural networks of heterogeneous nodes
We study synchronization in delay-coupled neural networks of heterogeneous nodes. It is well known that heterogeneities in the nodes hinder synchronization when becoming too large. We show that an adaptive tuning of the overall coupling strength can be used to counteract the effect of the heterogeneity. Our adaptive controller is demonstrated on ring networks of FitzHugh-Nagumo systems which ar...
