Functional Asynchronous Networks: Factorization of Dynamics and Function

Dynamical Systems 2016-11-18 v1 Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems

Abstract

In this note we describe the theory of functional asynchronous networks and one of the main results, the Modularization of Dynamics Theorem, which for a large class of functional asynchronous networks gives a factorization of dynamics in terms of constituent subnetworks. For these networks we can give a complete description of the network function in terms of the function of the events comprising the network and thereby answer a question originally raised by Alon in the context of biological networks.
