Fig. 6: Evolution of the exceptional point in arbitrary chains.

The exceptional point \({(g/\kappa )}_{{{{{{{{\mathcal{N}}}}}}}}}\) as a function of the number of sites \({{{{{{{\mathcal{N}}}}}}}}\) in the oligomer chain [Eq. (29)]. Results with even (odd) \({{{{{{{\mathcal{N}}}}}}}}\) are associated with red (green) circles.
