Multiple transient memories, originally discovered in charge-density-wave conductors, are a remarkable and initially counterintuitive example of how a system can store information about its driving. In this class of memories, a system can…
Out-of-equilibrium disordered systems may form memories of external driving in a remarkable fashion. The system "remembers" multiple values from a series of training inputs yet "forgets" nearly all of them at long times despite the inputs…
Steadily shearing a non-Brownian suspension forms a memory of direction, while shearing back and forth forms a memory of amplitude. Each memory is evident in the systems response to further shear, exemplifying its strong history-dependence.…
We investigate a nonlinear dynamical system which ``remembers'' preselected values of a system parameter. The deterministic version of the system can encode many parameter values during a transient period, but in the limit of long times,…
Cyclically sheared jammed packings form memories of the shear amplitude at which they were trained by falling into periodic orbits where each particle returns to the identical position in subsequent cycles. While simple models that treat…
We study a model amorphous solid that is subjected to repeated athermal cyclic shear deformation. It has previously been demonstrated that the memory of the amplitudes of shear deformation the system is subjected to (or trained at) is…
We report short-term memory formation in a nonlinear dynamical system with many degrees of freedom. The system ``remembers'' a sequence of impulses for a transient period, but it coarsens and eventually ``forgets'' nearly all of them. The…
Systems driven far from equilibrium often retain structural memories of their processing history. This memory has, in some cases, been shown to dramatically alter the material response. For example, work hardening in crystalline metals can…
Memory-forming properties introduce a new paradigm to the design of adaptive materials. In dense suspensions, an adaptive response is enabled by non-Newtonian rheology; however, typical suspensions have little memory, which implies rapid…
This work proposes a switched model reference adaptive control (S-MRAC) architecture for a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) switched linear system with memory for enhanced learning. A salient feature of the proposed method that separates it…
The paper explores the capability of continuous-time recurrent neural networks to store and recall precisely timed scores of spike trains. We show (by numerical experiments) that this is indeed possible: within some range of parameters, any…
We present a stochastic neural automata in which activity fluctuations and synaptic intensities evolve at different temperature, the latter moving through a set of stored patterns. The network thus exhibits various retrieval phases,…
Cortical networks can maintain memories for decades despite the short lifetime of synaptic strength. Can a neural network store long-lasting memories in unstable synapses? Here, we study the effects of random noise on the stability of…
Whereas the importance of transient dynamics to the functionality and management of complex systems has been increasingly recognized, most of the studies are based on models. Yet in realistic situations the models are often unknown and what…
Shearing a disordered or amorphous solid for many cycles with a constant strain amplitude can anneal it, relaxing a sample to a steady state that encodes a memory of that amplitude. This steady state also features a remarkable stability to…
The discovery that memory of particle configurations and plastic events can be stored in amorphous solids subject to oscillatory shear has spurred research into methods for storing and retrieving information from these materials. However,…
In this paper we consider switched nonlinear systems under average dwell time switching signals, with an otherwise arbitrary compact index set and with additional constraints in the switchings. We present invariance principles for these…
We show that memory can be encoded in a model amorphous solid subjected to athermal oscillatory shear deformations, and in an analogous spin model with disordered interactions, sharing the feature of a deformable energy landscape. When…
We study the effect of memory on synchronization of identical chaotic systems driven by common external noises. Our examples show that while in general synchronization transition becomes more difficult to meet when memory range increases,…
Noise is usually regarded as adversarial to extract the effective dynamics from time series, such that the conventional data-driven approaches usually aim at learning the dynamics by mitigating the noisy effect. However, noise can have a…
