Objective: In terms of dynamical system theory the rapid alteration of electromagnetic brain signal properties observed with transition from interictal into ictal epileptic activity implies an alteration between at least two dynamical states (attractors). We explored whether such a multistability is reflected also in the dynamical characteristics of the interictal signal.
Methods: A combined method consisting of structural MRI, multichannel magnetoencephalography (MEG) and the non-linear dynamics was applied for the detection of subthreshold interictal activity in temporal lobe epilepsy. Employing multichannel MEG we calculated local Lyapunov exponents (ILE) as a measure of the probability of state transitions in patients with mesiotemporal and extra-mesiotemporal focal epilepsy.
Results: The spatial distribution of the variability of ILE was found to be correlated to the side of the epileptic focus, thus, providing a reliable estimate of its localization.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that interictal epileptic activity is characterized by an increase of the number of transitions between different attractors.

The monkeypox virus (MPXV), which is a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the class Poxviridae, is the causative agent of the zoonotic viral infection MPXV. The disease is similar to smallpox, but it is usually less dangerous. This study examines the evolution of the MPXV epidemic in Canada with an emphasis on the effects of control employing actual data.

A underlying complex dynamical behavior of double Allee effects in predator-prey system is studied in this article to understand the predator-prey relation more intensely from different aspects. We first propose a system with the Caputo sense fractional-order predator-prey system incorporating the Allee effect in prey populations to explain how the memory effect can change the different emergent states. Local stability analysis is analyzed by applying Matignon's condition for the FDE system.

We review recent progress regarding the double scaled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model and other p-local quantum mechanical random Hamiltonians. These models exhibit an expansion using chord diagrams, which can be solved by combinatorial methods. We describe exact results in these models, including their spectrum, correlation functions, and Lyapunov exponent.
