Critical exponents that characterize divergent fluctuations of interspike intervals near the bifurcation are calculated theoretically. The calculated values appear to be in good agreement with those determined by numerical experiments. The relevance of our results to jamming transitions is also mentioned.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-05-30T08:37:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "89.75.Da", "05.10.Gg", "82.40.Bj", "64.70.P-" ], "keywords": [ "globally coupled excitable elements", "critical phenomena", "saddle-node bifurcation", "characterize divergent fluctuations", "interspike intervals" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review E", "year": 2008, "month": "Dec", "volume": 78, "number": 6, "pages": "065101" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvE..78f5101O" } } }
