We study numerically effects of time delay in networks of delay-coupled excitable FitzHugh–Nagumo systems with dissipation. Generation of periodic self-sustained oscillations and its threshold are analyzed depending on the dissipation of a single neuron, the delay time, and random initial conditions. The peculiarities of spatiotemporal dynamics of time-delayed bidirectional ring-structured FitzHugh–Nagumo neuronal systems are investigated in cases of local and nonlocal coupling topology between the nodes, and a first-order nonequilibrium phase transition to synchrony is established. It is shown that the emergence of an oscillatory activity in delay-coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo neurons is observed for smaller values of the coupling strength as the dissipation parameter decreases. This can provide the possibility of controlling the spatiotemporal behavior of the considered neuronal networks. The observed effects are quantified by plotting distributions of the maximal Lyapunov exponent and the global order parameter in terms of delay and coupling strength.
In a numerical experiment, it was found that in a chain of Raleigh oscillators with a nonlinear connection between them, at least three localized stationary breathers modes may exist: non-mobile, "slow" and "fast" dissipative breathers. The dynamics of the chain elements depends on the ratio of characteristic time scales of the system which determined by the frequency of oscillators and the rigidity of the connection between them. Considered system is multistable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
