Oscillatory networks: Insights from piecewise-linear modeling

Stephen Coombes, Mustafa Sayli, Rüdiger Thul +3

There is enormous interest -- both mathematically and in diverse applications -- in understanding the dynamics of coupled oscillator networks. The real-world motivation of such net…

Models Currently Implemented in MIIND

Hugh Osborne, Yi Ming Lai, Marc de Kamps

This is a living document that will be updated when appropriate. MIIND [1, 2] is a population-level neural simulator. It is based on population density techniques, just like DIPDE…

Networks of piecewise linear neural mass models

S Coombes, Y-M Lai, M Sayli +1

Neural mass models are ubiquitous in large scale brain modelling. At the node level they are written in terms of a set of ODEs with a nonlinearity that is typically a sigmoidal sha…

Population Density Equations for Stochastic Processes with Memory Kernels

Yi Ming Lai, Marc de Kamps

We present a novel method for solving population density equations (PDEs), where the populations can be subject to non-Markov noise for arbitrary distributions of jump sizes. The m…

Noise-Induced Synchronization, Desynchronization, and Clustering in Globally Coupled Nonidentical Oscillators

Yi Ming Lai, Mason A. Porter

We study ensembles of globally coupled, nonidentical phase oscillators subject to correlated noise, and we identify several important factors that cause noise and coupling to synch…

Nonlinear Waves in Disordered Diatomic Granular Chains

Laurent Ponson, Nicholas Boechler, Yi Ming Lai +3

We investigate the propagation and scattering of highly nonlinear waves in disordered granular chains composed of diatomic (two-mass) units of spheres that interact via Hertzian co…
