Comparative approximations of criticality in a neural and quantum regime

JS Bettinger - Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2017 - Elsevier
Under a variety of conditions, stochastic and non-linear systems with many degrees of
freedom tend to evolve towards complexity and criticality. Over the last decades, a steady …

Efficient search of relevant structures in complex systems

L Sani, M Amoretti, E Vicari, M Mordonini… - AI* IA 2016 Advances in …, 2016 - Springer

challenge. We propose a computationally efficient methodology to address such a …

On the robustness of the detection of relevant sets in complex dynamical systems

M Villani, P Carra, A Roli, A Filisetti, R Serra - Italian Workshop on Artificial …, 2015 - Springer
The identification of system's parts that rule its dynamics and the understanding of its
dynamical organisation is a paramount objective in the analysis of complex systems. In …

Beyond networks: Search for relevant subsets in complex systems

A Roli, M Villani, A Filisetti, R Serra - Towards a post-bertalanffy systemics, 2016 - Springer
