Identifying early warning signals of cancer formation
Abstract It is increasingly clear that cancer is a complex systemic disease and one of the most fatal diseases in humans. Complex systems, including cancer, exhibit critical transitions in which the system abruptly shifts from one state to another. However, predicting these critical transitions is difficult as the system may show little change before ...

Critical phenomena in globally coupled excitable elements
Critical phenomena in globally coupled excitable elements are studied by focusing on a saddle-node bifurcation at the collective level. Critical exponents that characterize divergent fluctuations of interspike intervals near the bifurcation are ...

A Minimal Model of Burst-Noise Induced Bistability [PDF]
We investigate the influence of intrinsic noise on stable states of a one-dimensional dynamical system that shows in its deterministic version a saddle-node bifurcation between monostable and bistable behaviour.

Ultradiscrete Bifurcations for One Dimensional Dynamical Systems [PDF]
Bifurcations of one dimensional dynamical systems are discussed based on some ultradiscrete equations. The ultradiscrete equations are derived from normal forms of one-dimensional nonlinear differential equations, each of which has saddle-node, transcritical, or supercritical pitchfork bifurcations.

Improved Gevrey‐1 Estimates of Formal Series Expansions of Center Manifolds
ABSTRACT In this paper, we show that the coefficients ϕn$\phi _n$ of the formal series expansions ∑n=1∞ϕnxn∈xC[[x]]$\sum _{n=1}^\infty \phi _n x^n\in x\mathbb {C}[[x]]$ of center manifolds of planar analytic saddle‐nodes grow like Γ(n+a)$\Gamma (n+a)$ (after rescaling x$x$) as n→∞$n\rightarrow \infty$.

Nonsmooth Homoclinic Bifurcation in a Conceptual Climate Model [PDF]
Collision of equilibria with a splitting manifold has been locally studied, but might also be a contributing factor to global bifurcations. In particular a boundary collision can be coincident with collision of a virtual equilibrium with a periodic orbit, giving an analogue to a homoclinic bifurcation.

Elastic‐Wave Propagation in Chiral Metamaterials: A Couple‐Stress Theory Perspective
The intrinsic chirality of chiral metamaterials renders an effective medium based on the classical continuum theory ineffective for predicting their acoustic activity. This limitation is addressed in the present study by employing augmented asymptotic homogenization to derive a couple‐stress‐based effective medium, enabling accurate predictions in the ...

Stability analysis for pitchfork bifurcations of solitary waves in generalized nonlinear Schroedinger equations [PDF]
Linear stability of both sign-definite (positive) and sign-indefinite solitary waves near pitchfork bifurcations is analyzed for the generalized nonlinear Schroedinger equations with arbitrary forms of nonlinearity and external potentials in arbitrary spatial dimensions.

Common sports‐related nerve injuries seen by the electrodiagnostic medical consultant
Abstract The high physiologic demands of sports create dynamic stress on joints, soft tissues, and nerves which may lead to injuries in the athlete. Electrodiagnostic (EDx) assessment is essential to identify the correct diagnosis, localization, and prognosis, to guide management of sports‐related neuropathies.

Exponential peak and scaling of work fluctuations in modulated systems
We extend the stationary-state work fluctuation theorem to periodically modulated nonlinear systems. Such systems often have coexisting stable periodic states.
