This paper presents a very simple method ensuring the independence of consecutive spectra of the phase or frequency noise of an oscillator. This condition is essential for using cross-spectrum averages.
Oscillatory dynamics are ubiquitous in biological networks. Possible sources of oscillations are well understood in low-dimensional systems, but have not been fully explored in high-dimensional networks. Here we study large networks…
