The first effect is that the maximum or peak of the dynamical range appears when the largest eigenvalue of adjacent matrix is larger than one. We present a modification of the theory of the critical point by considering the correlation between excited nodes and their neighbors, which is brought by the refractory period. Our analysis provides the interpretation for the shift of the peak of the dynamical range. The effect is negligible when the average degree of the network is large. The second effect is that the dynamical range increases as the length of refractory period increases, and it is independent of the average degree. We present the mechanism of the second effect. As the refractory period increases,the saturated response decreases. This makes the bottom boundary of the dynamical range smaller and the dynamical range extend.展开更多

In the region of the synchronous transition, the avalanche size and duration distribution obey a power law distribution. We demonstrate the robustness of the power law for event sizes at different parameters and multiple time scales. Importantly, the exponent of the event size and duration distribution can satisfy the critical scaling relation. By changing the network structure parameters in the parameter region of transition, quasicriticality is observed, that is, critical exponents depart away from the criticality while still hold approximately to a dynamical scaling relation. The results suggest that power law statistics can emerge in networks composed of inhibitory neurons when the networks are balanced by external driving signal.展开更多

The striking feature is that the phase order may be ordered or disordered in multi-band chaotic regimes, in contrast to the ordered phase in continuous systems. We carried out an analysis to illuminate the underlying mechanism for the emergence of the disordered phase in multi-band chaotic regimes, and proved that the phase order is sensitive to the density distribution of the trajectories of the attractors. The scaling behavior of the net direction phase at a transition point is observed. The analytical proof of this scaling relation is obtained. Both the numerical and analytical results show that the exponent is 1, which is controlled by the feature of the map independent on whether the system is continuous or discontinuous. It extends the universality of the scaling behavior to systems with discontinuity. The result in this work is important to understanding the property of chaotic motion in discontinuous systems.展开更多

We investigate the effects of the inhibitory strength using both numerical simulations and theoretical analysis. We show that the inhibitory strength cannot affect the critical point. The dynamic range is decreased as the inhibitory strength increases.To simulate of decreasing the efficacy of excitation and inhibition which was studied in experiments, we remove excitatory or inhibitory nodes, delete excitatory or inhibitory links, and weaken excitatory or inhibitory coupling strength in critical excitatory-inhibitory network. Decreasing the excitation, the change of the dynamic range is most dramatic as the same as previous experimental results. However, decreasing inhibition has no effect on the criticality in excitatory-inhibitory network.展开更多
