We study the efficiency of synchronization in ensembles of identical coupled stochastic oscillator systems. By deriving a chemical Langevin equation, we measure the rate at which the systems synchronize. The rate at which the difference in…

Biochemical reaction networks are subjected to large fluctuations attributable to small molecule numbers, yet underlie reliable biological functions. Most theoretical approaches describe them as purely deterministic or stochastic dynamical…
We show that noise-induced oscillations in a gene circuit model display stochastic coherence, that is, a maximum in the regularity of the oscillations as a function of noise amplitude. The effect is manifest as a system-size effect in a…
Dissipative coupling is known to induce synchronization. Conversely it may be hypothesized that oscillators driven to synchronize may reduce power dissipation in their coupling. The latter scenario is realized in the human cardiorespiratory…

We study, both analytically and numerically, the dynamics of mechanical oscillators kept in motion by a feedback force, which is generated electronically from a signal produced by the oscillators themselves. This kind of self-sustained…
Timing is essential for many cellular processes, from cellular responses to external stimuli to the cell cycle and circadian clocks. Many of these processes are based on gene expression. For example, an activated gene may be required to…

Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon observed in physical, biological, and social networks, which persists even under the influence of strong noise. Previous research on oscillators subject to common noise has shown that noise can…

We show that for two identical neuronal oscillators with strictly positive phase resetting curve, isochronous synchrony is an unstable attractor and arbitrarily weak noise can destroy entrainment and generate intermittent phase slips. Small…
