Ill-Posed Point Neuron Models

چکیده
We show that point-neuron models with a Heaviside firing rate function can be ill posed. More specifically, the initial-condition-to-solution map might become discontinuous in finite time. Consequently, if finite precision arithmetic is used, then it is virtually impossible to guarantee the accurate numerical solution of such models. If a smooth firing rate function is employed, then standard ODE theory implies that point-neuron models are well posed. Nevertheless, in the steep firing rate regime, the problem may become close to ill posed, and the error amplification, in finite time, can be very large. This observation is illuminated by numerical experiments. We conclude that, if a steep firing rate function is employed, then minor round-off errors can have a devastating effect on simulations, unless proper error-control schemes are used.

Regularization of Ill-Posed Point Neuron Models
Point neuron models with a Heaviside firing rate function can be ill-posed. That is, the initial-condition-to-solution map might become discontinuous in finite time. If a Lipschitz continuous but steep firing rate function is employed, then standard ODE theory implies that such models are well-posed and can thus, approximately, be solved with finite precision arithmetic. We investigate whether ...
متن کاملConvergence rates analysis of Tikhonov regularization for nonlinear ill-posed problems with noisy operators
We investigate convergence rates of Tikhonov regularization for nonlinear ill-posed problems when both the right-hand side and the operator are corrupted by noise. Two models of operator noise are considered, namely uniform noise bounds and point-wise noise bounds. We derive convergence rates for both noise models in Hilbert and in Banach spaces. These results extend existing results where the ...
متن کاملIll-Posed and Linear Inverse Problems
In this paper ill-posed linear inverse problems that arises in many applications is considered. The instability of special kind of these problems and it's relation to the kernel, is described. For finding a stable solution to these problems we need some kind of regularization that is presented. The results have been applied for a singular equation.
متن کاملIll-posed problems in thermomechanics
Several thermomechanical models have been proposed from a heuristic point of view. A mathematical analysis should help to clarify the applicability of these models, among those recent thermal or viscoelastic models. Single-phase-lag and dual-phase-lag heat conduction models can be interpreted as formal expansions of delay equations. The delay equations are shown to be ill-posed, as are the form...
متن کاملImplementation of Sinc-Galerkin on Parabolic Inverse problem with unknown boundary condition
The determination of an unknown boundary condition, in a nonlinaer inverse diffusion problem is considered. For solving these ill-posed inverse problems, Galerkin method based on Sinc basis functions for space and time will be used. To solve the system of linear equation, a noise is imposed and Tikhonove regularization is applied. By using a sensor located at a point in the domain of $x$, say $...
