Spatially-invariant opinion dynamics on the circle
Giovanna Amorim, Anastasia Bizyaeva, Alessio Franci +1
We propose and analyze a nonlinear opinion dynamics model for an agent making decisions about a continuous distribution of options in the presence of input. Inspired by perceptual…
Spiking Nonlinear Opinion Dynamics (S-NOD) for Agile Decision-Making
Charlotte Cathcart, Ian Xul Belaustegui, Alessio Franci +1
We present, analyze, and illustrate a first-of-its-kind model of two-dimensional excitable (spiking) dynamics for decision-making over two options. The model, Spiking Nonlinear Opi…
Excitable crawling
Juncal Arbelaiz, Alessio Franci, Naomi Ehrich Leonard +2
We propose and analyze the suitability of a spiking controller to engineer the locomotion of a soft robotic crawler. Inspired by the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of neural excitability, w…
Sparse dynamic network reconstruction through L1-regularization of a Lyapunov equation
Ian Xul Belaustegui, Marcela Ordorica Arango, Román Rossi-Pool +2
An important problem in many areas of science is that of recovering interaction networks from simultaneous time-series of many interacting dynamical processes. A common approach is…
