Attractors of dynamical systems may be networks in phase space that can be heteroclinic (where there are dynamical connections between simple invariant sets) or excitable (where a perturbation threshold needs to be crossed to a dynamical…
The relationship between the properties of a dynamical system and the structure of its defining equations has long been studied in many contexts. Here we study this problem for the class of conjunctive (resp. disjunctive) Boolean networks,…
Heterogeneous networks play a key role in the evolution of communities and the decisions individuals make. These networks link different types of entities, for example, people and the events they attend. Network analysis algorithms usually…
Localization phenomena permeate many branches of physics playing a fundamental role on dynamical processes evolving on heterogeneous networks. These localization analyses are frequently grounded, for example, on eigenvectors of adjacency or…
How do networks of relationships evolve over time? We analyse a dataset tracking the social interactions of 900 individuals over four years. Despite continuous shifts in individual relationships, the macroscopic structural properties of the…
Boolean networks serve as discrete models of regulation and signaling in biological cells. Identifying the key controllers of such processes is important for understanding the dynamical systems and planning further analysis. Here we…
Heteroclinic cycles are widely used in neuroscience in order to mathematically describe different mechanisms of functioning of the brain and nervous system. Heteroclinic cycles and interactions between them can be a source of different…
In network science complex systems are represented as a mathematical graphs consisting of a set of nodes representing the components and a set of edges representing their interactions. The framework of networks has led to significant…
Many complex networks are known to exhibit sudden transitions between alternative steady states with contrasting properties. Such a sudden transition demonstrates a network's resilience, which is the ability of a system to persist in the…
Using a generalized random recurrent neural network model, and by extending our recently developed mean-field approach [J. Aljadeff, M. Stern, T. Sharpee, Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 088101 (2015)], we study the relationship between the network…
Subgraphs and cycles are often used to characterize the local properties of complex networks. Here we show that the subgraph structure of real networks is highly time dependent: as the network grows, the density of some subgraphs remains…
A six-dimensional reversible normal form system occurs in B{\'e}nard-Rayleigh convection between parallel planes, when we look for domain walls intersecting orthogonally (see Buffoni et al [1]). On the truncated system, we prove…
Boolean networks are a valuable class of discrete dynamical systems models, but they remain fundamentally limited by their inability to capture multi-way interactions in their components. To remedy this limitation, we propose a model of…
The stability of heteroclinic cycles may be obtained from the value of the local stability index along each connection of the cycle. We establish a way of calculating the local stability index for quasi-simple cycles: cycles whose…
To provide a phenomenological theory for the various interesting transitions in restructuring networks we employ a statistical mechanical approach with detailed balance satisfied for the transitions between topological states. This enables…
Random walks serve as important tools for studying complex network structures, yet their dynamics in cases where transition probabilities are not static remain under explored and poorly understood. Here we study nonlinear random walks that…
Cycling chaos is a heteroclinic connection between several chaotic attractors, at which switching between the chaotic sets occur at growing time intervals. Here we characterize the coherence properties of these switchings, considering…
The concept of stability has a long history in the field of dynamical systems: stable invariant objects are the ones that would be expected to be observed in experiments and numerical simulations. Heteroclinic networks are invariant objects…
We consider a heteroclinic network in the framework of winnerless competition of species. It consists of two levels of heteroclinic cycles. On the lower level, the heteroclinic cycle connects three saddles, each representing the survival of…
In network science, the non-homogeneity of node degrees has been a concerned issue for study. Yet, with the modern web technologies today, the traditional social communication topologies have evolved from node-central structures to online…
