A Seascape Origin of Richards Growth
Daniel Swartz, Bertrand Ottino-Löffler, Mehran Kardar
First proposed as an empirical rule over half a century ago, the Richards growth equation has been frequently invoked in population modeling and pandemic forecasting. Central to th…
Volcano transition in a solvable model of oscillator glass
Bertrand Ottino-Löffler, Steven H. Strogatz
In 1992 a puzzling transition was discovered in simulations of randomly coupled limit-cycle oscillators. This so-called volcano transition has resisted analysis ever since. It was…
Takeover times for a simple model of network infection
Bertrand Ottino-Löffler, Jacob G. Scott, Steven H. Strogatz
We study a stochastic model of infection spreading on a network. At each time step a node is chosen at random, along with one of its neighbors. If the node is infected and the neig…
Comparing the Locking Threshold for Rings and Chains of Oscillators
Bertrand Ottino-Loffler, Steven Strogatz
We present a case study of how topology can affect synchronization. Specifically, we consider arrays of phase oscillators coupled in a ring or a chain topology. Each ring is perfec…
Frequency Spirals
Bertrand Ottino-Loffler, Steven Strogatz
We study the dynamics of coupled phase oscillators on a two-dimensional Kuramoto lattice with periodic boundary conditions. For coupling strengths just below the transition to glob…
Kuramoto model with uniformly spaced frequencies:Finite-N asymptotics of the locking threshold
Bertrand Ottino-Loffler, Steven Strogatz
We study phase locking in the Kuramoto model of coupled oscillators in the special case where the number of oscillators, , is large but finite, and the oscillators' natural freq…
