A memory-based three-state model of competing technology adoption: substitution regimes, multi-homing, and churn

Stefano Scialla, Marco Patriarca, Els Heinsalu +1

Technologies, products, platforms, and behavioral routines often compete through gradual adoption, reinforcement-dependent use, and temporary multi-homing. We formulate a homogeneo…

Threshold model of language competition including the bilingual state

Mikhail V. Tamm, Els Heinsalu, Stefano Scialla +1

We propose a threshold model of language competition which includes intermediate bilingual state. The model is based on the Minett-Wang model but through the introduction of thresh…

Effect of diversity distribution symmetry on global oscillations of networks of excitable units

Stefano Scialla, Marco Patriarca, Els Heinsalu +2

We investigate the role of the degree of symmetry of the diversity distribution in shaping the collective dynamics of networks of coupled excitable units modeled by FitzHugh-Nagumo…

Dynamical equivalence between resonant translocation of a polymer chain and diversity-induced resonance

Marco Patriarca, Stefano Scialla, Els Heinsalu +2

Networks of heterogeneous oscillators are often seen to display collective synchronized oscillations, even when single elements of the network do not oscillate in isolation. It has…

Learning thresholds lead to stable language coexistence

Mikhail V. Tamm, Els Heinsalu, Stefano Scialla +1

We introduce a language competition model that is based on the Abrams-Strogatz model and incorporates the effects of memory and learning in the language shift dynamics. On a coarse…

Diversity-induced decoherence

Marius E. Yamakou, Els Heinsalu, Marco Patriarca +1

We analyze the effect of small-amplitude noise and heterogeneity in a network of coupled excitable oscillators with strong time scale separation. Using mean-field analysis, we unco…

The interplay between diversity and noise in an excitable cell network model

Stefano Scialla, Marco Patriarca, Els Heinsalu

We study the interplay between diversity and noise in a 3D network of FitzHugh-Nagumo elements, with topology and dimensions chosen to model a pancreatic beta-cell cluster, as an e…

Hubs, diversity, and synchronization in FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillator networks: Resonance effects and biophysical implications

Stefano Scialla, Alessandro Loppini, Marco Patriarca +1

Using the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations to represent the oscillatory electrical behavior of beta-cells, we develop a coupled oscillator network model with cubic lattice topology, showi…
