In the present paper, the paradoxical responses of bursting activity induced by memristors, the corresponding nonlinear mechanisms, and roles of memristor current, are investigated in a theoretical model. Firstly, for the inhibitory memristor, increasing the gain of the memristor paradoxically widens the burst for a large transfer coefficient, whereas plays a common role to shorten the burst for small coefficient. For the excitatory memristor, only the paradoxical phenomenon of the shortened burst appears. Secondly, the common and paradoxical responses are well explained with one- and two-parameter bifurcations. The different changes of locations of saddle node bifurcation to begin the burst and homoclinic bifurcation to terminate the burst are obtained. Finally, the competition/cooperation mechanism between the nonlinear part (dependent on transfer coefficient) and linear part (independent of transfer coefficient) of the memristor current is identified, presenting the essential reason underlying the paradoxical and common bursting responses. For the inhibitory memristor, large transfer coefficient induces strong nonlinear part to override the suppressed role of the linear part, enhancing the bursting activity. Conversely, small transfer coefficient causes weak nonlinear part, overwhelmed by the suppressed effect of linear part, then, suppressed bursting appears. For the excitatory memristor, both nonlinear and linear part exhibits a suppressed role, resulting in suppression of bursting activity. These findings provide insights into the paradoxical behaviors of inhibitory and excitatory memristors and their potential functions in modulating neuronal bursting behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 109086"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144503987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to do so, PROPAGATOR is coupled with WindNinja, a microscale wind simulator that computes spatially varying wind fields by a solver accounting for the conservation of mass and a second one assuming also conservation of momentum. Two historical fires are considered: the first one occurred in quasi-flat terrain in the Molise region of Italy, while the second ignited in the southern area of Avinyo in Spain. The standard fire simulator incorporating solely uniform wind fields and that coupled with the solvers of WindNinja predict similar burning probability maps for the Campomarino fire. The quasi-flatness of the Campomarino terrain is the main cause since the wind pattern is very weakly affected by its topography during fire propagation, resulting in only a slight deviation from the initial uniform wind field. However, in the presence of the complex topography of the Avinyo region, the fire spread simulations incorporating the spatially-varying wind fields predict significantly different burned area shapes for long time regimes and intense winds, where secondary fire spots separated from the main burning zone emerge. Larger spatial extension of the wildfire is observed in the absence of firefighters’ actions, but the predicted patterns seem to be similar regardless of the type of wind field input and its resolution. A 10-fold increase of perturbation magnitude on wind direction yields a contraction of the predicted burned area for all the probability thresholds considered, while a 2-fold and 10-fold increase of the wind speed perturbations lead to a significantly larger burned area and fire spread. Further quantitative analysis of the importance of incorporating spatially-varying wind fields in improving the predictability of cellular automata models in the case of megafires is mandatory.","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144503814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed method is developed based on the optimization-oriented exponential-polynomial-closure (OEPC) method, and enhances OEPC by ensuring the limitation property of the probabilistic solution, named ’improved OEPC’ method. The key innovation of this study lies in introducing constraints for undetermined parameters to ensure the limitation property of the probabilistic solution. The limitation property means that the solution of FPK approaches zero as the state variables in FPK approach infinity. This improvement guarantees the solution accuracy across a wider spatial range when dealing with rare events, such as system failures of mechanical structures. The methodology is verified by investigating three different types of system: the Duffing oscillator, the ship rolling system, and the wind-excited frame tower system. The results show that the improved OEPC method significantly enhances the tail behavior of the probabilistic solution for complex nonlinear stochastic systems compared to the conventional OEPC method.

Nowadays, more clarity is needed on the internal influencing mechanism of spike train correlation, especially in pairwise directly connected neurons. To this end, this paper explores effect of the internal factors on the spike train correlation of pairwise directly connected neurons in a micro-column (MC) model. In detail, a simplified MC model with morphology is constructed, then two groups of parameters are set to obtain two specific MCs called MC1 and MC2 respectively, where two output neurons (named as PN4 and PN5 separately) in the MCs are focused on. What is more, a spike count similarity (SCS) metric and a spike time correlation (STC) metric are proposed in this paper to quantify specific spike train correlation patterns with zero time lag. The main simulation results demonstrate that variations of the internal factors (including the synaptic strengths, the synaptic delay, as well as volumes of the soma and axon hillock) affect the spike train correlation to different extents, from which it is inferred that the spike train correlation of directly connected neurons could be effectively modulated by these internal factors. It is further shown that, compared to the inhibitory synapse, existence of the excitatory synapse may be necessary for the appearance of extremely high correlation for spike trains. In a specific range, the SCS metric is a decreasing function concerning the strength of the inhibitory synapse and an increasing function with respect to the strength of the excitatory synapse. In addition, a larger soma volume of PN4 corresponds to a weaker STC. Compared with variations of the volumes concerning the soma and axon hillock, the STC metric is more sensitive to the changes in the synaptic strengths as well as synaptic delays. Unlike the existing ones, the MC model constructed in this paper fully considers the neuronal morphology (such as the dendritic branches) which shapes the intrinsic/dynamical behaviors of the MCs. Furthermore, this established MC model would provide a foundation for investigating the higher-order spike train correlations among multiple neurons. The two metrics proposed here present a novel perspective for analyzing the correlation strength of pairwise spike trains. Also, they can be used to identify certain special spike train correlation patterns that might provide some helpful decoding strategies in the brain computer interface in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 109079"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144503971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
