In the presence of Gaussian white noise,we study the properties of voltage-controlled oscillator neuronmodel and discuss the effects of the additive and multiplicative noise.It is found that the additive noise can accelerate andcounterwork the firing of neuron,which depends on the value of central frequency of neuron itself,while multiplicativenoise can induce the continuous change or mutation of membrane potential.

Chimera states of phase oscillator populations with nonlocal higher-order couplings

The chimera states underlying many realistic dynamical processes have attracted ample attention in the area of dynamical systems.Here, we generalize the Kuramoto model with nonlocal coupling incorporating higher-order interactions encoded with simplicial complexes.Previous works have shown that higher-order interactions promote coherent states.However, we uncover the fact that the introduced higher-order couplings can significantly enhance the emergence of the incoherent state.Remarkably, we identify that the chimera states arise as a result of multi-attractors in dynamic states.Importantly, we review that the increasing higher-order interactions can significantly shape the emergent probability of chimera states.All the observed results can be well described in terms of the dimension reduction method.This study is a step forward in highlighting the importance of nonlocal higher-order couplings, which might provide control strategies for the occurrence of spatial-temporal patterns in networked systems.

Oscillatory Dynamics of a Spherical Solid in a Liquid in an Axisymmetric Variable Cross Section Channel

The dynamics of a solid spherical body in an oscillating liquid flow in a vertical axisymmetric channel of variable cross section is experimentally studied.It is shown that the oscillating liquid leads to the generation of intense averaged flows in each of the channel segments.The intensity and direction of these flows depend on the dimensionless oscillating frequency.In the region of studied frequencies,the dynamics of the considered body is examined when the primary vortices emerging in the flow occupy the whole region in each segment.For a fixed frequency,an increase in the oscillation amplitude leads to a phase-inclusion holding effect,i.e.,the body occupies a quasi-stationary position in one of the cells of the vertical channel,while oscillating around its average position.It is also shown that the oscillating motion of a liquid column generates an averaged force acting on the body,the magnitude of which depends on the properties of the body and its position in the channel.The quasi-stationary position is determined by the relative density and size of the body,as well as the dimensionless frequency.The behavior of the body as a function of the amplitude and frequency of fluid oscillation and relative size is discussed in detail.Such findings may be used in the future to control the position of a phase inclusion and/or to strengthen mass transfer effects in a channel of variable cross section by means of fluid oscillations.

Dynamics of a Quantum Dissipative System Coupled with an Oscillator

We study the dynamics of a quantum dissipative system. Besides its linear coupling with a harmonic bath modelling the dissipation, we suppose that it is coupled with an oscillator with an interaction of the form s 2 x 2 . In our study, we integrate over the bath and the oscillator, extract the corresponding influence functionals and then solve the system’s sign problem. We apply the theory to the case of a double well and study the time evolution of the expectation value of the position.

Experimental and simulation study on shear stress-induced erythrocyte damage based on vortex oscillator

Background:Shear stress-induced erythrocyte damage,namely hemolysis,is an important problem in the development of blood-contacting medical devices such as mechanical circulatory support devices.Computational fluid dynamics simulation combined with hemolysis prediction models have been widely used to predict hemolysis.With the development of hemolysis prediction models,the new hemolysis prediction model requires more experimental data to verify.In addition,the difference of in vitro blood-shearing device also affect the accuracy of hemolysis prediction.Methods:To address these problems,a new in vitro blood-shearing device(vortex oscillator)was used to further verify the accuracy of the hemolysis prediction models,and to guide the optimal design of blood-contacting medical devices such as mechanical circulatory support devices.Firstly,the flow field information such as wall stress and velocity of the vortex oscillator under different speeds was analyzed.Secondly,different hemolysis prediction models were used to calculate hemolysis,and the predicted data was compared with the experimental data.Results and Conclusion:In this study,the flow field information inside the vortex oscillator at high rotational speeds was systematically investigated,and the prediction of hemolysis was carried out.The results showed that the predicted data of hemolysis was significantly different from the experimental data,which indicated that it was urgent to establish a standardized in vitro blood-shearing platform to provide a reference for accurate hemolysis prediction.

Stochastic Resonance in a Single-Ion Nonlinear Mechanical Oscillator

Stochastic resonance is a counterintuitive phenomenon amplifying the weak periodic signal by application of external noise.We demonstrate the enhancement of a weak periodic signal by stochastic resonance in a trappedion oscillator when the oscillator is excited to the nonlinear regime and subject to an appropriate noise.Under the full control of the radio-frequency drive voltage,this amplification originates from the nonlinearity due to asymmetry of the trapping potential,which can be described by a forced Duffing oscillator model.Our scheme and results provide an interesting possibility to make use of controllable nonlinearity in the trapped ion,and pave the way toward a practical atomic sensor for sensitively detecting weak periodic signals from real noisy environment.

Straightforward Method for Nonlinear Oscillators

It is challenging to predict the frequency property of a nonlinear vibration system conveniently and efficiently.Especially,an invalid or physically irrelevant result might be obtained by some advanced methods.Therefore,predicting the frequency lacks an expedient and efficient method.This challenge is addressed by developing a straightforward and effective frequency formulation that reliably predicts the frequency-amplitude relationship.This study provides a one-step approach which can fast determine the periodic properties of any conservative oscillators and also provides a reference for other similar studies.

An Investigation of Bubble Motion in the Fluidic Oscillator

Enhanced gas-liquid mass transfer is significant for the desulfurization and denitration of ship exhaust gases.As a fluid device,the special structure of the fluidic oscillator generates self-excited oscillations that can effectively enhance the mass transfer process of gas-liquid.But there are few studies on the internal gas-liquid flow.The transportation of individual bubbles in the fluidic oscillator was investigated by a high-speed camera and digital image analysis.The results show that the bubble experienced a significant deceleration process in the chamber region of the fluidic oscillator.In addition,the maximum bubble offset increased with the diameter of the initial bubble.The trajectory of the bubble showed zigzag movement due to the deflecting oscillation of the fluidic oscillator.At the same time,the deformation of the bubble was intensified by the deflecting oscillation.The deformation ratio of the bubble increased with the increase of Reynolds number.By studying the transport process of a single bubble in the fluid oscillator,it is considered that the fluid oscillator has the potential to be a new bubble generator.

On the Relativistic Harmonic Oscillator

The relativistic harmonic oscillator represents a unique energy-conserving oscillatory system. The detailed characteristics of the solution of this oscillator are displayed in both weak- and extreme-relativistic limits using different expansion procedures, for each limit. In the weak-relativistic limit, a Normal Form expansion is developed, which yields an approximation to the solution that is significantly better than in traditional asymptotic expansion procedures. In the extreme-relativistic limit, an expansion of the solution in terms of a small parameter that measures the proximity to the limit (v/c) →1 yields an excellent approximation for the solution throughout the whole period of oscillations. The variation of the coefficients of the Fourier expansion of the solution from the weak- to the extreme-relativistic limits is displayed.

Stability and multistability of synchronization in networks of coupled phase oscillators

Coupled phase oscillators usually achieve synchronization as the coupling strength among oscillators is increased beyond a critical value. The stability of synchronous state remains an open issue. In this paper, we study the stability of the synchronous state in coupled phase oscillators. It is found that numerical integration of differential equations of coupled phase oscillators with a finite time step may induce desynchronization at strong couplings. The mechanism behind this instability is that numerical accumulated errors in simulations may trigger the loss of stability of the synchronous state.Desynchronization critical couplings are found to increase and diverge as a power law with decreasing the integral time step. Theoretical analysis supports the local stability of the synchronized state. Globally the emergence of synchronous state depends on the initial conditions. Other metastable ordered states such as twisted states can coexist with the synchronous mode. These twisted states keep locally stable on a sparse network but lose their stability when the network becomes dense.

Mass-Oscillators as Information Memories of Action

In the theory of physical information, the physical phenomena of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and gravity can be described by means of the action as information enclosed in four dimensional structures with oscillator properties, under the conditions of the Hamilton principle. The present report shows that it is also possible to simulate the behaviour of the mass under these conditions. As a result, among other things, the statements are obtained that the mass is stored virtual action;the rest frame of elementary objects and the inertia of matter are caused by the action stored in the mass oscillators.

Oscillator strength and cross section study of the valence-shell excitations of NO_(2) by fast electron scattering

Oscillator strengths and cross sections of the valence-shell excitations in NO_(2)are of great significance in testing the theoretical calculations and monitoring the state of the ozone layer in the earth’s atmosphere. In the present work, the generalized oscillator strengths of the valence-shell excitations in NO_(2)were obtained based on the fast electron scattering technique at an incident electron energy of 1.5 ke V and an energy resolution of about 70 me V. By extrapolating the generalized oscillator strengths to the limit of a zero squared momentum transfer, the optical oscillator strengths for the dipole-allowed transitions have been obtained, which provide an independent cross check to the previous experimental results. Based on the BE-scaling method, the corresponding integral cross sections have also been derived systematically from the excitation threshold to 5000 eV. The present dynamic parameters can provide the fundamental spectroscopic data of NO_(2)and have important applications in the studies of atmospheric science. The datasets presented in this paper, including the GOSs, OOSs and ICSs, are openly available at https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00156.

Dynamic modelling and chaos control for a thin plate oscillator using Bubnov–Galerkin integral method

The utilization of thin plate systems based on acoustic vibration holds significant importance in micro-nano manipulation and the exploration of nonlinear science. This paper focuses on the analysis of an actual thin plate system driven by acoustic wave signals. By combining the mechanical analysis of thin plate microelements with the Bubnov–Galerkin integral method, the governing equation for the forced vibration of a square thin plate is derived. Notably,the reaction force of the thin plate vibration system is defined as f=α|w|, resembling Hooke’s law. The energy function and energy level curve of the system are also analyzed. Subsequently, the amplitude–frequency response function of the thin plate oscillator is solved using the harmonic balance method. Through numerical simulations, the amplitude–frequency curves are analyzed for different vibration modes under the influence of various parameters. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates the occurrence of conservative chaotic motions in the thin plate oscillator using theoretical and numerical methods. Dynamics maps illustrating the system’s states are presented to reveal the evolution laws of the system. By exploring the effects of force fields and system energy, the underlying mechanism of chaos is interpreted. Additionally, the phenomenon of chaos in the oscillator can be controlled through the method of velocity and displacement states feedback, which holds significance for engineering applications.

Spin torque oscillator based on magnetic tunnel junction with MgO cap layer for radio-frequency-oriented neuromorphic computing

Recently,it has been proposed that spin torque oscillators(STOs)and spin torque diodes could be used as artificial neurons and synapses to directly process microwave signals,which could lower latency and power consumption greatly.However,one critical challenge is to make the microwave emission frequency of the STO stay constant with a varying input current.In this work,we study the microwave emission characteristics of STOs based on magnetic tunnel junction with MgO cap layer.By applying a small magnetic field,we realize the invariability of the microwave emission frequency of the STO,making it qualified to act as artificial neuron.Furthermore,we have simulated an artificial neural network using STO neuron to recognize the handwritten digits in the Mixed National Institute of Standards and Technology database,and obtained a high accuracy of 92.28%.Our work paves the way for the development of radio-frequency-oriented neuromorphic computing systems.

Parameter estimation method for a linear frequency modulation signal with a Duffing oscillator based on frequency periodicity

In view of the complexity of existing linear frequency modulation(LFM)signal parameter estimation methods and the poor antinoise performance and estimation accuracy under a low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),a parameter estimation method for LFM signals with a Duffing oscillator based on frequency periodicity is proposed in this paper.This method utilizes the characteristic that the output signal of the Duffing oscillator excited by the LFM signal changes periodically with frequency,and the modulation period of the LFM signal is estimated by autocorrelation processing of the output signal of the Duffing oscillator.On this basis,the corresponding relationship between the reference frequency of the frequencyaligned Duffing oscillator and the frequency range of the LFM signal is analyzed by the periodic power spectrum method,and the frequency information of the LFM signal is determined.Simulation results show that this method can achieve high-accuracy parameter estimation for LFM signals at an SNR of-25 dB.
