Locking transition in coupled disordered systems
Guy Bunin
When a system of many interacting constituents is extended across space, every region carries the same disordered landscape, and it is unclear whether distant regions settle into t…
Fixed points of Boolean networks with sparse connections
Stav Marcus, Ari M. Turner, Guy Bunin +1
We study fixed points of cellular automata with sites on random sparse graphs. In the large limit such models are known to exhibit phase transitions, from a ``frozen'' phas…
Learning to outgrow the competition: reaction-diffusion systems that adapt to time-dependent environments
Olivier Rivoire, Guy Bunin
A fundamental challenge in both biology and engineering is understanding how adaptation can emerge from simple physical or chemical building blocks. Biological adaptation appears t…
Evolutionary features in a minimal physical system: diversity, selection, growth, inheritance, and adaptation
Guy Bunin, Olivier Rivoire
We present a simple physical model that recapitulates several features of biological evolution, while being based only on thermally-driven attachment and detachment of elementary b…
When can few-species models describe dynamics within a complex community?
Stav Marcus, Guy Bunin
Dynamics of species' abundances in ecological communities are often described using models that only account for a few species. It is not clear when and why this would be possible,…
Extinctions as a vestige of instability: the geometry of stability and feasibility
Stav Marcus, Ari M. Turner, Guy Bunin
Species coexistence is a complex, multifaceted problem. At an equilibrium, coexistence requires two conditions: stability under small perturbations; and feasibility, meaning all sp…
