Gene switching rate determines response to extrinsic perturbations in a transcriptional network motif

Sebastiano de Franciscis, Giulio Caravagna, Alberto d'Onofrio

It is well-known that gene activation/deactivation dynamics may be a major source of randomness in genetic networks, also in the case of large concentrations of the transcription f…

Cellular polarization: interaction between extrinsic bounded noises and wave-pinning mechanism

Sebastiano de Franciscis, Alberto d'Onofrio

Cued and un-cued cell polarization is a fundamental mechanism in cell biology. As an alternative to the classical Turing bifurcation, it has been proposed that the cell polarity mi…

Spatiotemporal sine-Wiener Bounded Noise and its effect on Ginzburg-Landau model

Sebastiano de Franciscis, Alberto d'Onofrio

In this work, we introduce a kind of spatiotemporal bounded noise derived by the sine-Wiener noise and by the spatially colored unbounded noise introduced by García-Ojalvo, Sancho…

Spatio-temporal Bounded Noises, and transitions induced by them in solutions of real Ginzburg-Landau model

Sebastiano de Franciscis, Alberto d'Onofrio

In this work, we introduce two spatio-temporal colored bounded noises, based on the zero-dimensional Cai-Lin and Tsallis-Borland noises. We then study and characterize the dependen…

Enhancing neural-network performance via assortativity

Sebastiano de Franciscis, Samuel Johnson, Joaquín J. Torres

The performance of attractor neural networks has been shown to depend crucially on the heterogeneity of the underlying topology. We take this analysis a step further by examining t…

Unstable Dynamics, Nonequilibrium Phases and Criticality in Networked Excitable Media

S. de Franciscis, J. J. Torres, J. Marro

Here we numerically study a model of excitable media, namely, a network with occasionally quiet nodes and connection weights that vary with activity on a short-time scale. Even in…
