Novel Kuramoto model with inhibition dynamics modeling scale-free avalanches and synchronization in neuronal cultures
Dario Lucente, Letizia Cerutti, Martina Brofiga +5
Neuronal cultures exhibit a complex activity, bursts, or avalanches, characterized by the coexistence of scale invariance and synchronization, quite stable with the percentage of i…
Janus Percolation in Anisotropic Limited-Degree Networks
Jacopo A. Garofalo, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Lucilla de Arcangelis +2
Many real-world infrastructures, from sensor and road networks to power grids, are spatially embedded and anisotropic, with constraints on the maximum number of links each node can…
Optimal Control of an Electromechanical Energy Harvester
Dario Lucente, Alessandro Manacorda, Andrea Plati +2
Many techniques originally developed in the context of deterministic control theory have been recently applied to the quest for optimal protocols in stochastic processes. Given a s…
Stochastic Model for a Piezoelectric Energy Harvester Driven by Broadband Vibrations
Angelo Sanfelice, Luigi Costanzo, Alessandro Lo Schiavo +2
We present an experimental and numerical study of a piezoelectric energy harvester driven by broadband vibrations. This device can extract power from random fluctuations and can be…
