Summary
We explored collective dynamics in multiplex networks of adaptively coupled Kuramoto oscillators. Different adaptation rules create rich collective states not seen in single-layer networks.
Area of Science:
- Complex Systems
- Network Science
- Nonlinear Dynamics
Background:
- Multiplex networks consist of multiple layers of interconnected nodes.
- Adaptive coupling allows network structure to change over time.
- Kuramoto oscillators are a standard model for studying synchronization phenomena.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the collective dynamics of multiplex networks with layer-specific adaptive rules.
- To identify and characterize emergent collective states.
- To understand the role of interlayer coupling in synchronization.
Main Methods:
- Simulations of adaptively coupled Kuramoto oscillators on multiplex networks.
- Characterization of collective states using intralayer and interlayer order parameters.
- Analytical estimation of critical coupling strength using the collective coordinate approach.
Main Results:
- Discovery of diverse collective states: incoherent, antipodal-incoherent, antipodal cluster, antipodal-partially coherent, mixed, and antipodal states.
- Demonstration that multiplexing and distinct adaptation rules lead to novel collective behaviors.
- Validation of analytical predictions for interlayer frequency synchronization.
Conclusions:
- The interplay of adaptation mechanisms in multiplex networks generates complex collective dynamics.
- Multiplexity is crucial for observing states beyond those in single-layer systems.
- Analytical methods can accurately predict synchronization thresholds in these complex systems.

Exceptions to the Octet Rule

Many covalent molecules have central atoms that do not have eight electrons in their Lewis structures. These molecules fall into three categories:

Lewis Symbols and the Octet Rule
80.3K
Chemical bonds are complex interactions between two or more atoms or ions, which reduce the potential energy of the molecule. Gilbert N. Lewis developed a model called the Lewis model that simplified the depiction of chemical bond formation and provided straightforward explanations for the chemical bonds seen in most common compounds.

The Aufbau Principle and Hund's Rule
72.3K
To determine the electron configuration for any particular atom, we can build the structures in the order of atomic numbers. Beginning with hydrogen, and continuing across the periods of the periodic table, we add one proton at a time to the nucleus and one electron to the proper subshell until we have described the electron configurations of all the elements. This procedure is called the aufbau principle, from the German word aufbau (“to build up”). Each added electron occupies the...

The Quotient Rule

The quotient rule is a fundamental differentiation technique in calculus used to differentiate functions expressed as a ratio of two differentiable functions. Given a function of the form:Where g(x) and h(x) are both differentiable and h(x) ≠ 0, the derivative of f(x) is given by:Example:The quotient rule is beneficial when differentiating rational functions, trigonometric ratios, and exponential functions. For example, given:applying the quotient rule,This rule is essential in solving...

Midpoint Rule

Approximating areas under curved boundaries is a common problem in applied mathematics, particularly when an exact calculation is difficult or impractical. One effective numerical method for this purpose is the Midpoint Rule, which provides an estimate of the area under a curve by using rectangular approximations over a specified interval.Description of the Midpoint RuleThe Midpoint Rule begins by dividing the given interval into a number of equal subintervals. For each subinterval, the...

Protein Networks
4.5K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...
