Transient dynamics for sequence processing neural networks: effect of degree distributions (2007)
Chen, Yong, Zhang, Pan, Yu, Lianchun, Zhang, Shengli
We derive a analytic evolution equation for overlap parameters including the effect of degree distribution on the transient dynamics of sequence processing neural networks. In the special case of...
Using probabilistic approach, the transient dynamics of sparsely connected Hopfield neural networks is studied for arbitrary degree distributions. A recursive scheme is developed to determine the...
Topology and Dynamics of Attractor Neural Networks: The Role of Loopiness (2007)
We derive an exact representation of the topological effect on the dynamics of sequence processing neural networks within signal-to-noise analysis. A new network structure parameter, loopiness...
Frequency and phase synchronization of two coupled neurons with channel noise (2006)
Yu, L. C., Chen, Yong, Zhang, Pan
We study the frequency and phase synchronization in two coupled identical and nonidentical neurons with channel noise. The occupation number method is used to model the neurons in the context of...
Statistical Neurodynamics for sequence processing neural networks with finite dilution (2006)
We extend the statistical neurodynamics to study transient dynamics of sequence processing neural networks with finite dilution, and the theoretical results is supported by the extensive numerical...
Network growth approach to macroevolution (2006)
Qin, Shao-Meng, Chen, Yong, Zhang, Pan
We propose a novel network growth model coupled with the competition interaction to simulate macroevolution. Our work shows that the competition plays an important role in macroevolution and it is...
Optimized annealing of traveling salesman problem from the nth-nearest-neighbor distribution (2006)
We report a new statistical general property in traveling salesman problem, that the $n$th-nearest-neighbor distribution of optimal tours verifies with very high accuracy an exponential decay as a...
