In a previous article we have shown, within the replica formalism, that the conventional picture of the random field Ising model breaks down, by the effect of singularities in the interactions between fields involving several replicas, below dimension eight. In the zero-replica limit several coupling constants have thus to be considered, instead of just one. As a result we had found that there ...

In the paper, several different methods are adopted to control Lü system. With direct feedback method, Lü system can be stabilized at one equilibrium point or a limit cycle surrounding its equilibrium. With adaptive time-delayed feedback method, feedback coefficient and delay time can be adjusted adaptively to stabilize Lü system at its original unstable periodic orbit. With minimal energy meth...

In this paper, we show that perturbing a simple 3-d quadratic system with a center-type singular point can yield at least 10 small-amplitude limit cycles around a singular point. This result improves the 7 limit cycles obtained recently in a simple 3-d quadratic system around a Hopf singular point. Compared with Bautin’s result for quadratic planar vector fields, which can only have 3 small-amp...

We study the effects of intrinsic noise on chemical reaction systems, which in the deterministic limit approach a limit cycle in an oscillatory manner. Previous studies of systems with an oscillatory approach to a fixed point have shown that the noise can transform the oscillatory decay into sustained coherent oscillations with a large amplitude. We show that a similar effect occurs when the st...

Origin of chaos in a simple two-dimensional map model replicating the spiking and spikingbursting activity of real biological neurons is studied. The map contains one fast and one slow variable. Individual dynamics of fast subsystem of the map is characterized by two types of possible attractors: stable fixed point (replicating silence) and superstable limit cycle (replicating spikes). Coupling...

Recent efforts to develop large-scale brain and neurocognitive architectures have paid relatively little attention to the use of self-organizing maps (SOMs). Part of the reason for this is that most conventional SOMs use a static encoding representation: each input pattern or sequence is effectively represented as a fixed point activation pattern in the map layer, something that is inconsistent...
