This work concerns a many-body deterministic model that displays life-like properties as emergence, complexity, self-organization, spontaneous compartmentalization, and self-regulation. The model portraits the dynamics of an ensemble of…

Autonomous sustained oscillations are ubiquitous in living and nonliving systems. As open systems, far from thermodynamic equilibrium, they defy entropic laws which mandate convergence to stationarity. We present structural conditions on…

Sequences of correlated binary patterns can represent many time-series data including text, movies, and biological signals. These patterns may be described by weighted combinations of a few dominant structures that underpin specific…

We study the athermal mechanical response of deformable ring assemblies to quasistatic compression. Beyond jamming, further densification induces buckling of rings, resulting in macroscopic mechanical softening. Under cyclic compression,…

Equilibrium self-assembly and conventional materials processing techniques fall far short of mimicking dynamic self-actuating processes that are commonplace throughout biology. To bridge the gap between living and synthetic matter, we study…

Memory effects are ubiquitous in nature and are particularly relevant at the nanoscale where the dynamical properties of electrons and ions strongly depend on the history of the system, at least within certain time scales. We review here…

Interacting random matrix systems are fundamental to modern theoretical physics and data science, yet a unified framework for their analysis has been lacking. This work introduces such a universal framework, built upon two novel concepts:…

The interplay between activity and elasticity often found in active and living systems triggers a plethora of autonomous behaviors ranging from self-assembly and collective motion to actuation. Amongst these, spontaneous self-oscillations…

We numerically investigated the dynamics of a mixture of finite-size active and passive particles in a linear array of convection rolls. The interplay of advection and steric interactions produces a number of interesting effects, like the…

We study a pulse-coupled dynamics of excitable elements in uncorrelated scale-free networks. Regimes of self-sustained activity are found for homogeneous and inhomogeneous couplings, in which the system displays a wide variety of behaviors,…

Behavior of hysteretic trajectories for cyclical input is investigated as a function of the internal structure of a system modeled by the classical random network of binary spins. Different regimes of hysteretic behavior are discovered for…

Population heterogeneity is ubiquitous among active living systems, but little is known about its role in determining their spatial organization and large-scale dynamics. Combining evidence from synthetic active fluids assembled from…

We address ourselves to a class of systems composed of two coupled subsystems without any intra-subsystem interaction: itinerant Fermions and localized Bosons on a lattice. Switching on an interaction between the two subsystems leads to…

Habituation - a phenomenon in which a dynamical system exhibits a diminishing response to repeated stimulations that eventually recovers when the stimulus is withheld - is universally observed in living systems from animals to unicellular…

Traditional percolation theory assumes static microscopic rules, limiting its ability to describe real-world complex systems where macroscopic order actively regulates local interactions. Here, we introduce feedback percolation, an unified…

Active matter systems may be characterised by the conversion of energy into active motion, e.g. the self-propulsion of microorganisms. Artificial active colloids form models which exhibit essential properties of more complex biological…

As experiments advance to record from tens of thousands of neurons, statistical physics provides a framework for understanding how collective activity emerges from networks of fine-scale correlations. While modeling these populations is…

Chimera states and bump states are collective synchronization phenomena observed independently (at different parameter regions) in networks of coupled nonlinear oscillators. And while chimera states are characterized by coexistence of…

Recently, an evolutionary game dynamics model taking into account the environmental feedback has been proposed to describe the co-evolution of strategic actions of a population of individuals and the state of the surrounding environment;…

We construct and analyze a rate-based neural network model in which self-interacting units represent clusters of neurons with strong local connectivity and random inter-unit connections reflect long-range interactions. When sufficiently…
