In this work, we study the fundamental naming and counting problems (and some variations) in networks that are anonymous, unknown, and possibly dynamic. In counting, nodes must determine the size of the network n and in naming they must end…
In this paper we study a family of controllers that guarantees attitude synchronization for a network of elements in the unit sphere domain, i.e. $\mathcal{S}^2$. We propose distributed continuous controllers for elements whose dynamics are…
This paper gives a fresh look at network synchronization. Here we no longer analyze it from the view of mathematics, such as graph theory, while we probe into one from control theory. First, we analyze the synchronization region using the…
The paper investigates the synchronization of a network of identical linear state-space models under a possibly time-varying and directed interconnection structure. The main result is the construction of a dynamic output feedback coupling…
Synchronization underlies phenomena including memory and perception in the brain, coordinated motion of animal flocks, and stability of the power grid. These synchronization phenomena are often modeled through networks of phase-coupled…
For spiking neural networks we consider the stability problem of global synchrony, arguably the simplest non-trivial collective dynamics in such networks. We find that even this simplest dynamical problem -- local stability of synchrony --…
Scale-free networks are ubiquitous in social, biological and technological networked systems. Dynamic Scale-free networks and their synchronizations are important to understand and predict the behavior of social, biological and…
Massive co-located devices require new paradigms to allow proper network connectivity. Internet of things (IoT) is the paradigm that offers a solution for the inter-connectivity of devices, but in dense IoT networks time synchronization is…
When we focus on finite dynamical systems from both the computability/complexity and the modelling standpoints, automata networks seem to be a particularly appropriate mathematical model on which theory shall be developed. In this paper,…
The searching for the stable patterns in the evolution of cellular automata is implemented using stochastic synchronization between the present structures of the system and its precedent configurations. For most of the known evolution rules…
We present and experimentally demonstrate a technique for achieving and maintaining a global state of identical synchrony of an arbitrary network of chaotic oscillators even when the coupling strengths are unknown and time-varying. At each…
The problem of synchronization in heterogeneous networks of linear systems with nonlinear delayed diffusive coupling is considered. The network is presented in new coordinates mean-field dynamics and synchronization errors. Thus the problem…
Synchronization of coupled oscillators is a fundamental process in both natural and artificial networks. While much work has investigated the asymptotic stability of the synchronous solution, the fundamental question of the transient…
This paper studies regulated state synchronization of discrete-time homogeneous networks of non-introspective agents in presence of unknown non-uniform input delays. A scale free protocol is designed based on additional information…
In this Letter we propose a method to control a set of arbitrary nodes in a directed network such that they follow a synchronous trajectory which is, in general, not shared by the other units of the network. The problem is inspired to those…
Systems of mobile physical entities exchanging information with their neighborhood can be found in many different situations. The understanding of their emergent cooperative behaviour has become an important issue across disciplines,…
We study the problem of synchronizing a general complex network by means of an adaptive strategy in the case where the network topology is slowly time varying and every node receives at each time only one aggregate signal from the set of…
Consider an asynchronous network in a shared-memory environment consisting of n nodes. Assume that up to f of the nodes might be Byzantine (n > 12f), where the adversary is full-information and dynamic (sometimes called adaptive). In…
The distributed computing literature considers multiple options for modeling communication. Most simply, communication is categorized as either synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous communication assumes that messages get delivered…
Complex networks are the subject of fundamental interest from the scientific community at large. Several metrics have been introduced to characterize the structure of these networks, such as the degree distribution, degree correlation, path…
