Many complex engineering systems network together functional elements and balance demand loads (e.g.information on data networks, electric power on grids). This allows load spikes to be shifted and avoid a local overload. In mobile wireless…

We examine traveling-wave solutions on a regular ring network with one additional long-range link that spans a distance d. The nodes obey the FitzHugh-Nagumo kinetics in the excitable regime. The additional shortcut induces a plethora of…

Continuous attractor neural networks generate a set of smoothly connected attractor states. In memory systems of the brain, these attractor states may represent continuous pieces of information such as spatial locations and head directions…
Disorder and noise in physical systems often disrupt spatial and temporal regularity, yet chaotic systems reveal how order can emerge from unpredictable behavior. Complex networks, spatial analogs of chaos, exhibit disordered, non-Euclidean…
We examine the large-network, low-loading behaviour of an attractor neural network, the so-called bistable gradient network (BGN). We use analytical and numerical methods to characterize the attractor states of the network and their basins…
The asymptotic attractors of a nonlinear dynamical system play a key role in the long-term physically observable behaviors of the system. The study of attractors and the search for distinct types of attractor have been a central task in…
The theory of complex networks and of disordered systems is used to study the stability and dynamical properties of a simple model of material flow networks defined on random graphs. In particular we address instabilities that are…
Many natural and artificial networks evolve in time. Nodes and connections appear and disappear at various timescales, and their dynamics has profound consequences for any processes in which they are involved. The first empirical analysis…
Many natural systems are organized as networks, in which the nodes interact in a time-dependent fashion. The object of our study is to relate connectivity to the temporal behavior of a network in which the nodes are (real or complex)…
In this work we investigate time varying networks with complex dynamics at the nodes. We consider two scenarios of network change in an interval of time: first, we have the case where each link can change with probability pt, i.e. the…
