This study investigates the impact of time delays on the synchronization behavior of chemically synaptic coupled neuronal networks, with a focus on analyzing changes in synchronization stability under different time delays and their underlying mechanisms. Through master stability function (MSF) analysis, we found that only networks with homogeneous degrees possess the same synchronization manifold, and can achieve stable synchronization under appropriate time delays. Numerical simulation results indicate that heterogeneous networks can also synchronize under suitable delays. By combining phase response curve (PRC) analysis with node dynamics, we revealed that different phase stimuli lead to variations in the firing periods of nodes in the network, and these periods changes are key to whether the network can synchronize under time delay. The comparison between neuronal firing characteristics and PRC values further confirmed this conclusion. These findings provide theoretical support for understanding the synchronization mechanisms in neural networks and offer new insights into synchronization disorders in neurological diseases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9764,"journal":{"name":"Chaos Solitons & Fractals","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 116449"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143834436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional node identification methods, such as those based on node degree, primarily emphasize local neighbors without considering a node’s global importance within the network. Conversely, global feature-based methods like betweenness centrality (BC) are computationally prohibitive for large-scale networks. To address these limitations, we propose a novel community-level node influence calculation method grounded in structural entropy. This approach integrates both local significance within a community and global influence across communities. The method begins by employing community detection algorithms to cluster closely related nodes into communities. Subsequently, node influence is quantified by analyzing changes in structural entropy resulting from a node’s departure from its community and its integration into an adjacent community. Experimental evaluations on eleven real-world networks demonstrate that our method reduces the computational time for influential node identification by a factor of 76 compared to BC and other conventional approaches. Furthermore, in a network comprising seventy thousand nodes, our method enhances network efficiency by 20% relative to the LE method, underscoring its efficiency and effectiveness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9764,"journal":{"name":"Chaos Solitons & Fractals","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 116411"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143834434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, weak vibration signals and significant noise interference pose considerable challenges to accurate tension measurement. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel method that combines Time-delayed Feedback Multistable Stochastic Resonance (TFMSR) with Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) to enhance the weak vibration signals of varnished wire and achieve precise tension measurement. Initially, a time-delay feedback term is incorporated into a multistable stochastic resonance model. By examining the motion of Brownian particles in a potential well, the effects of barrier parameters, feedback strength, delay time, and noise intensity on the stochastic resonance output are analyzed. The results demonstrate that the TFMSR model effectively denoises fault signals and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the output, thereby providing a solid foundation for extracting the natural frequency of the varnished wire. Subsequently, the proposed TFMSR in combination with the EEMD method is compared to the TFMSR model and traditional signal preprocessing methods for natural frequency extraction. The comparison reveals that the proposed method outperforms the others in accurately identifying the natural frequencies of the varnished wire. Finally, experimental and engineering applications validate the effectiveness and superiority of the TFMSR in combination with the EEMD method for both natural frequency extraction and tension measurement of varnished wire. In summary, the proposed method demonstrates significant advantages in processing weak signals, making it a promising approach for tension measurement in materials such as carbon fibers, polyester fibers, and flexible substrates.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9764,"journal":{"name":"Chaos Solitons & Fractals","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 116442"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143838010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
