Early warning signals for critical transitions in complex systems

SV George, S Kachhara, G Ambika - Physica Scripta, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In this topical review, we present a brief overview of the different methods and measures to
detect the occurrence of critical transitions in complex systems. We start by introducing the …

Eluding catastrophic shifts

P Villa Martín, JA Bonachela… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Transitions between regimes with radically different properties are ubiquitous in nature.
Such transitions can occur either smoothly or in an abrupt and catastrophic fashion …

Relation between stability and resilience determines the performance of early warning signals under different environmental drivers

L Dai, KS Korolev, J Gore - Proceedings of the National …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Shifting patterns of temporal fluctuations have been found to signal critical transitions in a
variety of systems, from ecological communities to human physiology. However, failure of …

Lévy noise induced transition and enhanced stability in a gene regulatory network

We investigate a quantitative bistable two-dimensional model (MeKS network) of gene
expression dynamics describing the competence development in the Bacillus subtilis under …

Bifurcation and criticality

I Bose, S Ghosh - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Equilibrium and nonequilibrium systems exhibit power-law singularities close to their critical
and bifurcation points respectively. A recent study has shown that biochemical …

The role of harvesting in population control in the presence of correlated noise sources

SK Mandal, DK Jana, S Poria - Physica Scripta, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we compare the role of constant and Michaelis-Menten type harvesting in
single species population control in presence of correlated noise sources. Our aim is to …

Delay and noise induced regime shift and enhanced stability in gene expression dynamics

T Yang, C Zhang, C Zeng, G Zhou, Q Han… - Journal of Statistical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
A quantitative model of autoregulatory gene expression involving a single gene with time
delays and cross-correlated noise sources is investigated. The probability density and mean …

Non-genetic heterogeneity, criticality and cell differentiation

M Pal, S Ghosh, I Bose - Physical biology, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
The different cell types in a living organism acquire their identity through the process of cell
differentiation in which multipotent progenitor cells differentiate into distinct cell types …

Delay induced dynamical behaviors in a stochastic insect outbreak model in presence of Michaelis-Menten type harvesting

SK Mandal, S Poria - Physica Scripta, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we have considered stochastic insect outbreak model in presence of Michaelis-
Menten type of harvesting. The growth of the insect species is taken as delayed logistic type …
