Minimum Winfree loop determines self-sustained oscillations in excitable Erdös-Rényi random networks

Abstract The investigation of self-sustained oscillations in excitable complex networks is very important in understanding various activities in brain systems, among which the exploration of the key determinants of oscillations is a challenging task. In this paper, by investigating the influence of...
