Chaotic attractors, chaotic saddles and periodic orbits are examples of chain-recurrent sets. Using arbitrary small controls, a trajectory starting from any point in a chain-recurrent set can be steered to any other in that set. The…
All intelligence is collective intelligence, in the sense that it is made of parts which must align with respect to system-level goals. Understanding the dynamics which facilitate or limit navigation of problem spaces by aligned parts thus…
Recent progress toward classifying low-dimensional chaos measured from time series data is described. This classification theory assigns a template to the time series once the time series is embedded in three dimensions. The template…
In this paper, we hope to bring closer graph theory and consensus algorithms. Firstly, we give a brief introduction to graph theory by listing a concise definition. Then we analyze and visualize some commonly used graphs. Secondly, we…
Combinatorics, in particular graph theory, has a rich history of being a domain of successful applications of tools from other areas of mathematics, including topological methods. Here, we survey the study of the Hom-complexes, and the ways…
We introduce a natural generalization of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph model in which random instances of a fixed motif are added independently. The binomial random motif graph $G(H,n,p)$ is the random (multi)graph obtained by adding…
Turing theory of pattern formation is among the most popular theoretical means to account for the variety of spatio-temporal structures observed in Nature and, for this reason, finds applications in many different fields. While Turing…
The emerging theory of graph limits exhibits an analytic perspective on graphs, showing that many important concepts and tools in graph theory and its applications can be described more naturally (and sometimes proved more easily) in…
A set of vertices in a graph is a Hamiltonian subset if it induces a subgraph containing a Hamiltonian cycle. Kim, Liu, Sharifzadeh and Staden proved that among all graphs with minimum degree $d$, $K_{d+1}$ minimises the number of…
We survey structures endowed with natural partial orderings and prove their universality. These partial orders include partial orders on sets of words, partial orders formed by geometric objects, grammars, polynomials and homomorphism order…
Design and cryptanalysis of chaotic encryption schemes are major concerns to provide secured information systems. Pursuing our previous research works, some well-defined discrete chaotic iterations that satisfy the reputed Devaney's…
We introduce a graph decomposition which exists for all simple, connected graphs $G=(V,E)$. The decomposition $V = A \cup B \cup C$ is such that each vertex in $A$ has more neighbors in $B$ than in $A$ and vice versa. $C$ is `balanced':…
Let $C_{n}$ be a cycle of length $n$. As an application of Szemer\'{e}di's regularity lemma, {\L}uczak ($R(C_n,C_n,C_n)\leq (4+o(1))n$, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 75 (1999), 174--187) in fact established that…
One property of networks that has received comparatively little attention is hierarchy, i.e., the property of having vertices that cluster together in groups, which then join to form groups of groups, and so forth, up through all levels of…
The study of ordered Ramsey numbers of monotone paths for graphs and hypergraphs has a long history, going back to the celebrated work by Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres in the early days of Ramsey theory. In this paper we obtain several results in…
Periodicity plays a significant role in the chaos theory from the beginning since the skeleton of chaos can consist of infinitely many unstable periodic motions. This is true for chaos in the sense of Devaney [1], Li-Yorke [2] and the one…
Quantum graphs are a paradigmatic model for quantum chaos as well as for spectral theory. We give a concise didactical introduction to quantum graphs, or Schr\"odinger Hamiltonians on metric graphs, with a focus on results related to…
Coexistence of various ordered chaotic states in a Hamiltonian system is studied with the use of a symplectic coupled map lattice. Besides the clustered states for the attractive interaction, a novel chaotic ordered state is found for a…
Symmetries naturally occur in real-world networks and can significantly influence the observed dynamics. For instance, many synchronization patterns result from the underlying network symmetries, and high symmetries are known to increase…
A fundamental question in graph theory is to establish conditions that ensure a graph contains certain spanning subgraphs. Two well-known examples are Tutte's theorem on perfect matchings and Dirac's theorem on Hamilton cycles.…
