Diverse biological networks exhibit universal features distinguished from those of random networks, calling much attention to their origins and implications. Here we propose a minimal evolution model of Boolean regulatory networks, which…
We study how the dynamics of a class of discrete dynamical system models for neuronal networks depends on the connectivity of the network. Specifically, we assume that the network is an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{enyi} random graph and analytically…
Processes on networks consist of two interdependent parts: the network topology, consisting of the links between nodes, and the dynamics, specified by some governing equations. This work considers the prediction of the future dynamics on an…
This paper (parts I and II) provides an expository introduction to monotone and near-monotone dynamical systems associated to biochemical networks, those whose graphs are consistent or near-consistent. Many conclusions can be drawn from…
A given neural network in the brain is involved in many different tasks. This implies that, when considering a specific task, the network's connectivity contains a component which is related to the task and another component which can be…
The network structure (or topology) of a dynamical network is often unavailable or uncertain. Hence, we consider the problem of network reconstruction. Network reconstruction aims at inferring the topology of a dynamical network using…
We study a model for cascade effects over finite networks based on a deterministic binary linear threshold model. Our starting point is a networked coordination game where each agent's payoff is the sum of the payoffs coming from pairwise…
Deterministic and stochastic Boolean network models are build for the dynamics of negative feedback loops of the p53 pathways. It is shown that the main function of the negative feedback in the p53 pathways is to keep p53 at a low steady…
Confining an answer to the question whether and how the coherent operation of network elements is determined by the the network structure is the topic of our work. We map the structure of signal flow in directed networks by analysing the…
Discrete-time regulatory networks are dynamical systems on directed graphs, with a structure inspired on natural systems of interacting units. There is a natural notion of determination amongst vertices, which we use to classify the nodes…
A broad range of nonlinear processes over networks are governed by threshold dynamics. So far, existing mathematical theory characterizing the behavior of such systems has largely been concerned with the case where the thresholds are…
We study the stability of orbits in large Boolean networks with given complex topology. We impose no restrictions on the form of the update rules, which may be correlated with local topological properties of the network. While recent past…
We are interested in the relationships between the number fixed points in a Boolean network $f:\{0,1\}^n\to\{0,1\}^n$ and its interaction graph, which is the arc-signed digraph $G$ on $\{1,\dots,n\}$ that describes the positive and negative…
We investigate the expressive power of neural networks from the point of view of descriptive complexity. We study neural networks that use floating-point numbers and piecewise polynomial activation functions from two perspectives: 1) the…
We consider the population dynamics of a set of species whose network of catalytic interactions is described by a directed graph. The relationship between the attractors of this dynamics and the underlying graph theoretic structures like…
Real-world networks in technology, engineering and biology often exhibit dynamics that cannot be adequately reproduced using network models given by smooth dynamical systems and a fixed network topology. Asynchronous networks give a…
Functional networks of complex systems are obtained from the analysis of the temporal activity of their components, and are often used to infer their unknown underlying connectivity. We obtain the equations relating topology and function in…
We introduce a simple model of static networks, where nodes are located on a ring structure, and two accompanying dynamic rules of repeated averaging on periodic node states. We assume nodes can interact with neighbors, and will add…
Boolean networks with canalizing functions are used to model gene regulatory networks. In order to learn how such networks may behave under evolutionary forces, we simulate the evolution of a single Boolean network by means of an adaptive…
We study the stable attractors of a class of continuous dynamical systems that may be idealized as networks of Boolean elements, with the goal of determining which Boolean attractors, if any, are good approximations of the attractors of…
