Complex Dynamics in Simple Neural Networks: Understanding Gradient Flow in Phase Retrieval

Lenka Zdeborová, Florent Gérard Krzakala

Despite the widespread use of gradient-based algorithms for optimizing high-dimensional non-convex functions, understanding their ability of finding good minima instead of being trapped in spurious ones remains to a large extent an open problem. Here we fo ...

Adaptive model predictive control for linear time varying MIMO systems

Vojislav Gligorovski

A robust, adaptive Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach for asymptotically stable, constrained linear time-varying (LTV) systems with multiple inputs and outputs is proposed. The approach consists of two-steps, carried out on-line with a receding horizo ...

Maximum-energy records in glassy energy landscapes

Riccardo Ravasio

We study the evolution of the maximum energy E-max(t) reached between time 0 and time t in the dynamics of simple models with glassy energy landscapes, after an instant quench from infinite temperature to a target temperature T. Through a detailed descript ...

Controlling transport dynamics of confined asymmetric fibers

François Gallaire, Mathias Simon Daniel Bechert

Transport properties of particles in confining geometries show very specific characteristics as lateral drift, oscillatory movement between lateral walls or the deformation of flexible fibers. These dynamics result from viscous friction with transversal an ...

Response of noise-amplifier flows: From linear control to nonlinear jet breakup

Isha Shukla

Among hydrodynamically unstable flows, the amplifier-flows are characterized by their large amplification potential in presence of external noise. Since amplifiers do not have an intrinsic dynamics, a chosen forcing can be applied to eventually control the ...

On the Dynamics of Magnetic Swimmers in Stokes Flow

Pauline Marie Rüegg-Reymond

In the past decade, the engineering community has conceived, manufactured and tested micro-swimmers, i.e. microscopic devices which can be steered in their intended environment. Foreseen applications range from microsurgery and targeted drug delivery to en ...

Transport of flexible fibers in confined microchannels

François Gallaire, Mathias Simon Daniel Bechert

When transported in confined geometries rigid fibers show interesting transport dynamics induced by friction with the top and bottom walls. Fiber flexibility causes an additional coupling between fiber deformation and transport and is expected to lead to m ...

Noise-induced desynchronization and stochastic escape from equilibrium in complex networks

Melvyn Sandy Tyloo

Complex physical systems are unavoidably subjected to external environments not accounted for in the set of differential equations that models them. The resulting perturbations are standardly represented by noise terms. If these terms are large enough, the ...

How single neuron properties shape chaotic dynamics and signal transmission in random neural networks

Wulfram Gerstner, Tilo Schwalger, Samuel Pavio Muscinelli

While most models of randomly connected neural networks assume single-neuron models with simple dynamics, neurons in the brain exhibit complex intrinsic dynamics over multiple timescales. We analyze how the dynamical properties of single neurons and recurr ...

Entropy production for coarse-grained dynamics

Daniel Maria Busiello, Amos Maritan

Systems out of equilibrium exhibit a net production of entropy. We study the dynamics of a stochastic system represented by a Master equation (ME) that can be modeled by a Fokker-Planck equation in a coarse-grained, mesoscopic description. We show that the ...
