Figure 9From: Phase computations and phase models for discrete molecular oscillatorsAn SSA-generated sample path as compared to the deterministic periodic solution for the Brusselator (showing changes in the molecule number for only the species Y). Changes in the molecule number for only species Y monitored. The noisy sample path is compared to the noiseless RRE solution. The noise has an adverse effect such that it has apparently caused the oscillator to lag behind the deterministic solution. A quantitative measure of this phase shift on a point-by-point basis (for all points) in the sample path is to be obtained by the phase computation methods proposed in this article.Back to article page
