Swarms of large numbers of agents appear in many biological and engineering fields. Dynamic bi-stability of co-existing spatio-temporal patterns has been observed in many models of large population swarms. However, many reduced models for…
To model time series accurately is important within a wide range of fields. As the world is generally too complex to be modelled exactly, it is often meaningful to assess the probability of a dynamical system to be in a specific state. This…
Consider planning a trip in a train network. In contrast to, say, a road network, the edges are temporal, i.e., they are only available at certain times. Another important difficulty is that trains, unfortunately, sometimes get delayed.…
Subway systems span most large cities, and railway networks most countries in the world. These networks are fundamental in the development of countries and their cities, and it is therefore crucial to understand their formation and…
We investigate the effect of turning delays on the behaviour of groups of differential wheeled robots and show that the group-level behaviour can be described by a transport equation with a suitably incorporated delay. The results of our…
We carry out a delay stability analysis (i.e., determine conditions under which expected steady-state delays at a queue are finite) for a simple 3-queue system operated under the Max-Weight scheduling policy, for the case where one of the…
In train networks, carefully-chosen delays may be beneficial for certain passengers, who would otherwise miss some connection. Given a simple (directed or undirected) temporal graph and a set of passengers (each specifying a starting…
State space models (SSMs) have shown remarkable empirical performance on many long sequence modeling tasks, but a theoretical understanding of these models is still lacking. In this work, we study the learning dynamics of linear SSMs to…
Systems with stochastic time delay between the input and output present a number of unique challenges. Time domain noise leads to irregular alignments, obfuscates relationships and attenuates inferred coefficients. To handle these…
Swarm and modular robotics are an emerging area in control of autonomous systems. However, coordinating a large group of interacting autonomous agents requires careful consideration of the logistical issues involved. In particular,…

Networks of globally coupled, noise activated, bistable elements with connection time delays are considered. The dynamics of these systems is studied numerically using a Langevin description and analytically using (1) a Gaussian…
Spatial relations between neurons in the network with time delays play a crucial role in determining dynamics of the system. During the development of the nervous system different types of neurons group together to enable specific functions…
Railway scheduling is a problem that exhibits both non-trivial discrete and continuous behavior. In this paper, we simulate train networks at a low level, where a number of timing and ordering constraints can appear. We model this problem…
Emergence of new types of services has led to various traffic and diverse delay requirements in fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. Meeting diverse delay requirements is one of the most critical goals for the design of 5G wireless…
One dominant aspect of cities is transport and massive passenger mobilization which remains a challenge with the increasing demand on the public as cities grow. In addition, public transport infrastructure suffers from traffic congestion…
Railway scheduling consists in ensuring that a set of trains evolve in a shared rail network without collisions, while meeting schedule constraints. This problem is notoriously difficult, even more in the case of uncertain or even unknown…
To generate coherent responses, language models infer unobserved meaning from their input text sequence. One potential explanation for this capability arises from theories of delay embeddings in dynamical systems, which prove that…
