A method for estimating theoretical predictability of time series is presented, based on information-theoretic functionals---redundancies and surrogate data technique. The redundancy, designed for a chosen model and a prediction horizon,…
Pervasive across diverse domains, stochastic systems exhibit fluctuations in processes ranging from molecular dynamics to climate phenomena. The Langevin equation has served as a common mathematical model for studying such systems, enabling…
Signaling in enzymatic networks is typically triggered by environmental fluctuations, resulting in a series of stochastic chemical reactions, leading to corruption of the signal by noise. For example, information flow is initiated by…
We introduce weighted Markovian graphs, a random walk model that decouples the transition dynamics of a Markov chain from (random) edge weights representing the cost of traversing each edge. This decoupling allows us to study the…
In this work we introduce a statistical framework in order to analyze the spatial redundancy in natural images. This notion of spatial redundancy must be defined locally and thus we give some examples of functions (auto-similarity and…
Suppose sender-receiver transmission links in a downlink network at given data rate are subject to fading, path-loss and inter-cell interference, and that transmissions either pass, suffer loss, or incur retransmission delay. We introduce a…
Many real-world complex networks contain a significant amount of structural redundancy, in which multiple vertices play identical topological roles. Such redundancy arises naturally from the simple growth processes which form and shape many…
Localized perturbations in a real-world network have the potential to trigger cascade failures at the whole system level, hindering its operations and functions. Standard approaches analytically tackling this problem are mostly based either…
We study the diffusive transport of Markovian random walks on arbitrary networks with stochastic resetting to multiple nodes. We deduce analytical expressions for the stationary occupation probability and for the mean and global first…
In this two-part paper, we consider multicomponent systems in which each component can iteratively exchange information with other components in its neighborhood in order to compute, in a distributed fashion, the average of the components'…
In this paper we introduce a model which provides a new approach to the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. It is based on the study of the properties of the stationary distribution of the underlying stochastic process. We derive the…
The broadcast phase (downlink transmission) of the two-way relay network is studied in the source coding and joint source-channel coding settings. The rates needed for reliable communication are characterised for a number of special cases…
Traditional works on community detection from observations of information cascade assume that a single adjacency matrix parametrizes all the observed cascades. However, in reality the connection structure usually does not stay the same…
We use an effective Markovian description to study the long-time behaviour of a nonlinear second order Langevin equation with Gaussian noise. When dissipation is neglected, the energy of the system grows as with time a power-law with an…
This work considers distributed sensing and transmission of sporadic random samples. Lower bounds are derived for the reconstruction error of a single normally or uniformly-distributed finite-dimensional vector imperfectly measured by a…
Living cells are continually exposed to environmental signals that vary in time. These signals are detected and processed by biochemical networks, which are often highly stochastic. To understand how cells cope with a fluctuating…
Fluctuations in biochemical networks, e.g., in a living cell, have a complex origin that precludes a description of such systems in terms of bipartite or multipartite processes, as is usually done in the framework of stochastic and/or…
In a previous report we have evaluated analytically the mutual information between the firing rates of N independent units and a set of continuous+discrete stimuli, for finite N and in the limit of large noise. Here, we extend the analysis…
The mechanisms of information transmission are investigated in a lattice of coupled continuous maps, by analyzing the propagation of both finite and infinitesimal disturbances. Two distinct regimes are detected: in the former case, both…
In this paper, we define a new measure of the redundancy of information from a fault tolerance perspective. The partial information decomposition (PID) emerged last decade as a framework for decomposing the multi-source mutual information…
