The leader-following consensus of multiple linear time invariant (LTI) systems under switching topology is considered. The leader-following consensus problem consists of designing for each agent a distributed protocol to make all agents…
The Friedkin-Johnsen (FJ) model is a popular opinion dynamics model that explains the disagreement that can occur even among closely interacting individuals. Cluster consensus is a special type of disagreement, where agents in a network…
Cluster synchronization is a phenomenon in which oscillators in a given network are partitioned into synchronous clusters. As recently shown, diverse cluster synchronization patterns can be found using network symmetry when the oscillators…
Complexity of dynamical networks can arise not only from the complexity of the topological structure but also from the time evolution of the topology. In this paper, we study the synchronous motion of coupled maps in time-varying complex…

A consensus system is a linear multi-agent system in which agents communicate to reach a so-called consensus state, defined as the average of the initial states of the agents. Consider a more generalized situation in which each agent is…

Social network data are relational data recorded among a group of actors, interacting in different contexts. Often, the same set of actors can be characterized by multiple social relations, captured by a multidimensional network. A common…

We investigate networks of automata that synchronise over common action labels. A graph synchronisation topology between the automata is defined in such a way that two automata are connected iff they can synchronise over an action. We show…
Phase transitions are crucial in shaping the collective dynamics of a broad spectrum of natural systems across disciplines. Here, we report two distinct heterogeneous nucleation facilitating single-step and multi-step phase transitions to…
We study the impact of interaction of nodes in a layer of a multiplex network on the dynamical behavior and cluster synchronization of these nodes in other layers. We find that nodes interactions in one layer affects the cluster…
