چکیده
We demonstrate the advantages of feedforward loops using a Boolean network, which is one of the discrete dynamical models for transcriptional regulatory networks. After comparing the dynamical behaviors of network embedded feedback and feedforward loops, we found that feedforward loops can provide higher temporal order (coherence) with lower entropy (randomness) in a temporal program of gene expression. In addition, complexity of the state space that increases with longer length of attractors and greater number of attractors is also reduced for networks with more feedforward loops. Feedback loops show opposite effects on dynamics of the networks. These results suggest that feedforward loops are one of the favorable local structures in biomolecular and neuronal networks.

In this paper, we examine the homotopy classes of positive loops in Sp(2) and Sp(4). We show that two positive loops are homotopic if and only if they are homotopic through positive loops.

We present an approach for the analytical treatment of excitable systems with noise-induced dynamics in the presence of time delay. An excitable system is modeled as a bistable system with a time delay, while another delay enters as a control term taken after [Pyragas 1992] as a difference between the current system state and its state τ time units before. This approach combines the elements of...

In this paper, the problem of pinning control for synchronization of complex dynamical networks is discussed. A cost function of the controlled network is defined by the feedback gain and the coupling strength of the network. An interesting result is that lower cost is achieved by the control scheme of pinning nodes with smaller degrees. Some rigorous mathematical analysis is presented for achi...

Although the conscious state is considered an emergent property of the underlying brain activity and thus somehow resides on brain hardware, there is a non-univocal mapping between both. Given a neural hardware, multiple conscious patterns are consisten with it. Here we show, by means of a simple gedankenexperiment that this has an importan logic consequence: any scenario involving the transien...
