Abstract:
We study a minimal model of disordered systems, the random field Ising model (RFIM) on a generalized Petersen Graph, GP(N,k), which consists of an interconnected outer and inner loop with N nodes in each loop. Each node in GP(N,k) has a coordination number of z=3, and by varying the parameter k different connections between the nodes in the inner loop can be obtained. The objective is to study whether different connectivities between nodes in these graphs affect the system's response to an external field when the coordination number is fixed. This is of interest because critical behavior is absent for z≤3 on a random graph which has been solved exactly as well as on the honeycomb lattice in the context of RFIM. Using single-spin-flip Glauber dynamics at zero temperature, we compare the system's response with the known case of a z=3 random graph and the generalized Petersen graph for various connectivities k, albeit for the same z. Our study finds the absence of critical behavior on GP(N,k), highlighting the importance of the coordination number over varying connectivities between the nodes. Additionally, we explore the case of directed GP(N,k) and compare it with the undirected GP(N,k) results.

Circuit Terminology
A circuit, on the other hand, is also an interconnected system of electrical elements but must contain one or more closed paths.
The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation
Sometimes a single EPSP is strong enough to induce an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. However, multiple presynaptic inputs must often create EPSPs around the same time for the postsynaptic neuron to be sufficiently depolarized to fire an action potential.
