Hopf Bifurcation and Chaos in Tabu Learning Neuron Models
In this paper, we consider the nonlinear dynamical behaviors of some tabu
leaning neuron models. We first consider a tabu learning single neuron model.
By choosing the memory decay rate as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that
Hopf bifurcation occurs in the neuron. The stability of the bifurcating
periodic solutions and the direction of the Hopf bifurcation are determined by
applying the normal form theory. We give a numerical example to verify the
theoretical analysis. Then, we demonstrate the chaotic behavior in such a
neuron with sinusoidal external input, via computer simulations. Finally, we
study the chaotic behaviors in tabu learning two-neuron models, with linear and
quadratic proximity functions respectively.Comment: 14 pages, 13 figures, Accepted by International Journal of

Bifurcations and Chaos in Time Delayed Piecewise Linear Dynamical Systems
We reinvestigate the dynamical behavior of a first order scalar nonlinear
delay differential equation with piecewise linearity and identify several
interesting features in the nature of bifurcations and chaos associated with it
as a function of the delay time and external forcing parameters. In particular,
we point out that the fixed point solution exhibits a stability island in the
two parameter space of time delay and strength of nonlinearity. Significant
role played by transients in attaining steady state solutions is pointed out.
Various routes to chaos and existence of hyperchaos even for low values of time
delay which is evidenced by multiple positive Lyapunov exponents are brought
out. The study is extended to the case of two coupled systems, one with delay
and the other one without delay.Comment: 34 Pages, 14 Figure
Mean-field equations for stochastic firing-rate neural fields with delays: Derivation and noise-induced transitions
In this manuscript we analyze the collective behavior of mean-field limits of
large-scale, spatially extended stochastic neuronal networks with delays.
Rigorously, the asymptotic regime of such systems is characterized by a very
intricate stochastic delayed integro-differential McKean-Vlasov equation that
remain impenetrable, leaving the stochastic collective dynamics of such
networks poorly understood. In order to study these macroscopic dynamics, we
analyze networks of firing-rate neurons, i.e. with linear intrinsic dynamics
and sigmoidal interactions. In that case, we prove that the solution of the
mean-field equation is Gaussian, hence characterized by its two first moments,
and that these two quantities satisfy a set of coupled delayed
integro-differential equations. These equations are similar to usual neural
field equations, and incorporate noise levels as a parameter, allowing analysis
of noise-induced transitions. We identify through bifurcation analysis several
qualitative transitions due to noise in the mean-field limit. In particular,
stabilization of spatially homogeneous solutions, synchronized oscillations,
bumps, chaotic dynamics, wave or bump splitting are exhibited and arise from
static or dynamic Turing-Hopf bifurcations. These surprising phenomena allow
further exploring the role of noise in the nervous system.Comment: Updated to the latest version published, and clarified the dependence

A delay-dependent LMI approach to dynamics analysis of discrete-time recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright 2007 Elsevier Ltd.In this Letter, the analysis problem for the existence and stability of periodic solutions is investigated for a class of general discrete-time recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays. For the neural networks under study, a generalized activation function is considered, and the traditional assumptions on the boundedness, monotony and differentiability of the activation functions are removed. By employing the latest free-weighting matrix method, an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is constructed and several sufficient conditions are established to ensure the existence, uniqueness, and globally exponential stability of the periodic solution for the addressed neural network. The conditions are dependent on both the lower bound and upper bound of the time-varying time delays. Furthermore, the conditions are expressed in terms of the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be checked numerically using the effective LMI toolbox in MATLAB. Two simulation examples are given to show the effectiveness and less conservatism of the proposed criteria.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 50608072, an International Joint Project sponsored by the Royal Society of the UK and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
Complex partial synchronization patterns in networks of delay-coupled neurons
We study the spatio-temporal dynamics of a multiplex network of delay-coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillators with non-local and fractal connectivities. Apart from chimera states, a new regime of coexistence of slow and fast oscillations is found. An analytical explanation for the emergence of such coexisting partial synchronization patterns is given. Furthermore, we propose a control scheme for the number of fast and slow neurons in each layer.DFG, 163436311, SFB 910: Kontrolle selbstorganisierender nichtlinearer Systeme: Theoretische Methoden und Anwendungskonzept
Amplitude Death: The emergence of stationarity in coupled nonlinear systems
When nonlinear dynamical systems are coupled, depending on the intrinsic
dynamics and the manner in which the coupling is organized, a host of novel
phenomena can arise. In this context, an important emergent phenomenon is the
complete suppression of oscillations, formally termed amplitude death (AD).
Oscillations of the entire system cease as a consequence of the interaction,
leading to stationary behavior. The fixed points that the coupling stabilizes
can be the otherwise unstable fixed points of the uncoupled system or can
correspond to novel stationary points. Such behaviour is of relevance in areas
ranging from laser physics to the dynamics of biological systems. In this
review we discuss the characteristics of the different coupling strategies and
scenarios that lead to AD in a variety of different situations, and draw
attention to several open issues and challenging problems for further study.Comment: Physics Reports (2012
