Dynamical systems on networks are inherently high-dimensional unless the number of nodes is extremely small. Dimension reduction methods for dynamical systems on networks aim to find a substantially lower-dimensional system that preserves…
In an increasingly connected world, the resilience of networked dynamical systems is important in the fields of ecology, economics, critical infrastructures, and organizational behaviour. Whilst we understand small-scale resilience well,…
Resilience is a system's ability to maintain its function when perturbations and errors occur. Whilst we understand low-dimensional networked systems' behavior well, our understanding of systems consisting of a large number of components is…
Many systems on our planet are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to another when they are forced across a "tipping point," such as mass extinctions in ecological networks, cascading failures in infrastructure systems,…
Complex dynamical systems are prevalent in various domains, but their analysis and prediction are hindered by their high dimensionality and nonlinearity. Dimensionality reduction techniques can simplify the system dynamics by reducing the…
The fluctuation of dynamic variables in complex networks is known to depend on the dimension and the heterogeneity of the substrate networks. Previous studies, however, have reported inconsistent results for the scaling behavior of…
Dimension reduction is a common strategy to study non-linear dynamical systems composed by a large number of variables. The goal is to find a smaller version of the system whose time evolution is easier to predict while preserving some of…
Many real-world scale-free networks, such as neural networks and online communication networks, consist of a fixed number of nodes but exhibit dynamic edge fluctuations. However, traditional models frequently overlook scenarios where the…
Networks with a given degree distribution may be very resilient to one type of failure or attack but not to another. The goal of this work is to determine network design guidelines which maximize the robustness of networks to both random…
Modelling systems with networks has been a powerful approach to tame the complexity of several phenomena. Unfortunately, such an approach is often made difficult by the large number of variables to take into consideration. Methods of…
In the real world, the stable operation of a network is usually inseparable from the mutual support of other networks. In such an interdependent network, a node in one layer may depend on multiple nodes in another layer, forming a complex…
The relation between network structure and dynamics is determinant for the behavior of complex systems in numerous domains. An important long-standing problem concerns the properties of the networks that optimize the dynamics with respect…
We review selected results related to robustness of networked systems in finite and asymptotically large size regimes, under static and dynamical settings. In the static setting, within the framework of flow over finite networks, we discuss…
There has been a considerable amount of interest in recent years on the robustness of networks to failures. Many previous studies have concentrated on the effects of node and edge removals on the connectivity structure of a static network;…
Complex systems are ubiquitous in nature and engineering, but their analysis and control are hampered by their high dimensionality and the influence of various factors on their dynamics. Dimensionality reduction aims to find a…
We study cascading failures in networks using a dynamical flow model based on simple conservation and distribution laws to investigate the impact of transient dynamics caused by the rebalancing of loads after an initial network failure…
This paper considers optimization problems over networks where agents have individual objectives to meet, or individual parameter vectors to estimate, subject to subspace constraints that require the objectives across the network to lie in…
A crucial challenge in network theory is the study of the robustness of a network after facing a sequence of failures. In this work, we propose a dynamical definition of network's robustness based on Information Theory, that considers…
Many networks are characterized by highly heterogeneous distributions of links, which are called scale-free networks and the degree distributions follow $p(k)\sim ck^{-\alpha}$. We study the robustness of scale-free networks to random…
Network coherence generally refers to the emergence of simple aggregated dynamical behaviours, despite heterogeneity in the dynamics of the subsystems that constitute the network. In this paper, we develop a general frequency domain…
