We consider a population of N interacting neurons, represented by a multivariate Hawkes process : the firing rate of each neuron depends on the history of the connected neurons. Contrary to the mean-field framework where the interaction occurs on the complete graph, the connectivity between particles is given by a random possibly diluted and inhomogeneous graphs where the probability of presence of each edge depends on the spatial position of its vertices. We address the well-posedness of this system and the behaviour as N → ∞. A crucial issue will be to understand how spatial inhomogeneity influences the large time behaviour of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
