Existence of hysteresis in the Kuramoto model with bimodal frequency distributions.

We investigate the transition to synchronization in the Kuramoto model with bimodal distributions of the natural frequencies. Previous studies have concluded that the model exhibits a hysteretic phase transition if the bimodal distribution is close to a unimodal one due to the shallowness of the central dip. Here we show that proximity to the unimodal-bimodal border does not necessarily imply hysteresis when the width, but not the depth, of the central dip tends to zero. We draw this conclusion from a detailed study of the Kuramoto model with a suitable family of bimodal distributions.

    By combining approaches from existing normalization techniques, the IRON method offers several advantages. First, IRON normalization occurs pair-wise, thereby avoiding the need for all chips to be normalized together, which can be important for large data analyses. Secondly, the technique does not r...

    We show that an object with Required properties appears with some positive probability in some random Process. Can we use such arguments to prove the existence of a computable Infinite object? Sometimes yes: following [8], we show how the notion of a Layerwise computable mapping can be used to prove...

    We consider the estimation of the mediation effect when the outcome is binary and multiple mediators of different types exist. We give a precise definition of the total mediation effect as well as decomposed mediation effects through individual or sets of mediators using the potential outcomes frame...
