چکیده

We study the solutions of a system of three coupled excitable cells with D3 symmetry. The system has two parameters, one controls the local dynamics of each cell and the other the strength of the coupling. We find and describe self-sustained collective oscillations. Periodic solutions appear in global bifurcations, typically after the collapse of fixed points heteroclinically connected. The symmetries of these periodic solutions are the same as the ones expected in periodic solutions which appear in local (Hopf) bifurcations.

Coupled optical excitable cells.

In this work we investigate experimentally the dynamics of two coupled optical excitable cells, namely, two semiconductor lasers with optical feedback. We analyze the dynamics observed in terms of the statistical properties of the time series and in terms of the phase space reconstruction from the data. We build a model based on a simple set of deterministic equations (on a two torus) plus nois...

Dynamics of three-state excitable units on Poisson vs. power-law random networks

The influence of the network topology on the dynamics of systems of coupled excitable units is studied numerically and demonstrates a lower dynamical variability for power-law networks than for Poisson ones. This effect which reflects a robust collective excitable behavior is however lower than that observed for diffusion processes or network robustness. Instead, the presence (and number) of tr...

Synchronization in Periodically Driven and Coupled Stochastic Systems--A Discrete State Approach

We investigate the behavior of stochastic bistable and excitable dynamics based on a discrete state modeling. In addition to the well known Markovian two state model for bistable dynamics we introduce a non Markovian three state model for excitable systems. Its relative simplicity compared to stochastic models of excitable dynamics with continuous phase space allows to obtain analytical results...

Epicyclic drifting in anisotropic excitable media with multiple inhomogeneities

Spirals have been studied from a dynamical system perspective starting with Barkley’s seminal papers linking a wide class of spiral wave dynamics to the Euclidean symmetry of the excitable media in which they are observed. However, in order to explain certain nonEuclidean phenomena, such as anchoring and epicyclic drifting, LeBlanc andWulff introduced a single translational symmetry-breaking pe...

Coupled three-state oscillators

We investigate globally coupled stochastic three-state oscillators, which we consider as general models of stochastic excitable systems. We compare two situations:in the first case the transitions between the three states of each unit 1 → 2 → 3 → 1 are determined by Poissonian waiting time distributions. In the second case only transition 1 → 2 is Poissonian whereas the others are deterministic...
