Abstract

We construct early-warning signals for impending critical transitions in non-Markovian systems. We analyze stochastic forcings such as fractional Brownian motion, fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and red noise in fast-slow systems exhibiting such transitions. We show that the effectiveness of indicators such as autocovariance, autocorrelation, and spectral density depends on several properties of the underlying system. In particular, we compare the influence of the Hurst index and the bifurcation type. We prove that the rotatory dynamics associated with a Hopf bifurcation substantially alters the scaling laws of these observables. Finally, we provide practical guidelines for implementing these signals and validate them on both theoretical and applied models.

Early Warning Signals Can Vanish or Amplify: Dimensionality in Complex Systems

Early warning signals (EWS), such as increasing variance and autocorrelation, are widely used to anticipate critical transitions associated with saddle-node bifurcations. However, real-world systems are often high-dimensional and multiscale, potentially altering the classical behavior of EWS. Here, we investigate how d...

Spectral theory for dynamical large deviations in non-Markov self-interacting processes

We develop a spectral theory for dynamical large deviations in non-Markov jump processes and non-Markov chains, whose dynamics depends on the past through state- and jump-dependent empirical observables. We demonstrate that a multiscale Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin-Jeffreys (WKBJ) Ansatz separates fast configurational rel...

Koopman early warning signals for bifurcation and rate-induced tipping

Abrupt transitions in complex systems are often preceded by early warning signals. However, most indicators rely on the notion of critical slowing down and do not generally extend to rate-induced tipping where transitions can occur without local loss of stability. This is problematic in stochastic, nonautonomous system...

On the stationary measures of the critical Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process

We study linear and symmetric diffusion processes on $\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$ that can be seen as the Langevin dynamics of the (inhomogeneous) harmonic crystal for given conductances, with a particular focus on their stationary distributions. Despite the linearity of the interaction, we exhibit a rich variety of beh...

Early warning signals for synchronization transitions from partial observations

Anticipating the onset of collective synchronization is important in many networked systems, yet observing every oscillator is often impractical. We investigate whether synchronization transitions can be detected from a small set of monitored, or sentinel, nodes. Using a stochastic Kuramoto model on networks, we numeri...
