On the Contraction of Excitable Systems
Alessandro Cecconi, Michelangelo Bin, Lorenzo Marconi +1
We study the contraction of Hodgkin-Huxley model and its role in the reliability of spike timings. Without input, the model is contractive in the region of physiological interest.…
Reliability entails input-selective contraction and regulation in excitable networks
Michelangelo Bin, Alessandro Cecconi, Lorenzo Marconi
The animal nervous system offers a model of computation combining digital reliability and analog efficiency. Understanding how this sweet spot can be realized is a core question of…
Event disturbance rejection: a case study
Alessandro Cecconi, Michelangelo Bin, Rodolphe Sepulchre +1
This article introduces the problem of robust event disturbance rejection. Inspired by the design principle of linear output regulation, a control structure based on excitable syst…
Regulation without calibration
Rodolphe Sepulchre, Alessandro Cecconi, Michelangelo Bin +1
This article revisits the importance of the internal model principle in the literature of regulation and synchronization. Trajectory regulation, the task of regulating continuous-t…
