Symmetry invariance for adapting biological systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a general class of dynamical systems, this paper presents a necessary and sufficient characterization of invariance of transient responses to symmetries in inputs. A particular example of this property, scale-invariance or “fold-change detection” (FCD), has been shown to be exhibited in biological sensory systems ranging from bacterial chemotaxis pathways to signal transduction mechanisms in eukaryotes. The characterization is in terms of a notion of equivariance and amounts to the solvability of an associated partial differential equation. For several simple system motifs that are recurrent in biology, the solvability criterion may be checked explicitly.

Reduction of Differential Equations by Lie Algebra of Symmetries
The paper is devoted to an application of Lie group theory to differential equations. The basic infinitesimal method for calculating symmetry group is presented, and used to determine general symmetry group of some differential equations. We include a number of important applications including integration of ordinary differential equations and finding some solutions of partial differential equa...
متن کاملSymmetry group, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation
In this paper Lie point symmetries, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation are investigated. First of all Lie symmetries are obtained by using the general method based on invariance condition of a system of differential equations under a prolonged vector field. Then the structure of symmetry ...
متن کاملOn Noether symmetries and form invariance of mechanico-electrical systems
This Letter focuses on form invariance and Noether symmetries of mechanico-electrical systems. Based on the invariance of Hamiltonian actions for mechanico-electrical systems under the infinitesimal transformation of the coordinates, the electric quantities and the time, the authors present the Noether symmetry transformation, the Noether quasi-symmetry transformation, the generalized Noether q...
متن کاملReparametrization invariance: a gauge-like symmetry of ultrametrically organised states
The reparametrization transformation between ultrametrically organised states of replicated disordered systems is explicitly defined. The invariance of the longitudinal free energy under this transformation, i.e. reparametrization invariance, is shown to be a direct consequence of the higher level symmetry of replica equivalence. The double limit of infinite step replica symmetry breaking and n...
متن کاملConstancy, uniformity and symmetry of living systems: the computational functions of morphological invariance.
Living systems, whether organs or entire organisms, display various forms of morphological invariance. Why? These phenomena are studied here from the Proto-Cognitive perspective, according to which evolution proceeds by processing information about the environment. The evolution of constancy, uniformity and symmetry is studied in detail. The study later focuses on the invariances of the plant's...
