| contents | Negative conductance elements are key to shape the input-output behavior at the terminals of a network through localized positive feedback amplification. The balance of positive and negative differential conductances creates singularities at which rich, intrinsically nonlinear, and ultrasensitive terminal behaviors emerge. Motivated by neuromorphic engineering applications, in this note we extend a recently introduced nonlinear network graphical modeling framework to include negative conductance elements. We use this extended framework to define the class of singular networks and to characterize their ultra-sensitive input/output behaviors at given terminals. Our results are grounded in the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method, which is shown to fully characterize the singularities and bifurcations of the input-output behavior at the network terminals, including when the underlying input-output relation is not explicitly computable through other reduction methods. |
