Comparing of post-injury network asymptotic behaviour with increasing injury between plastic and non-plastic delays. Each numerical trial was run over 320 s, and all asymptotic values were evaluated by averaging over the final 16 s. Injury was introduced at \(t = 160~\text{s}\). Both plots show trials with adaptive delays (red) and fixed delays (purple). A. Plot of post-injury asymptotic frequency Ω̂ for trials with injury \(\gamma > 0\). As γ increases, \(\widehat {\varOmega} \rightarrow \omega _{0}\). B. Plot of post-injury asymptotic standard deviation δ̂ for trials with injury \(\gamma > 0\). As γ increases, δ̂ has significant increase for trials without plasticity, while δ̂ remains relatively small for trials with plasticity until \(\gamma = 0.9\). The parameters used were \(N = 50\), \(\varepsilon =0.01\), \(\alpha _{\tau }= 1.0\), \(g = 1.5\), \(\kappa = 80\), \(\omega _{0} = 1.0\), and \(\tau ^{0} = 2.0~\text{s}\)
