Chaos control in Random Boolean networks is implemented by freezing part of the network to drive it from chaotic to ordered phase. However, controlled nodes are only viewed as passive blocks to prevent perturbation spread. This paper…
Phase transitions constitute fundamental mechanisms underlying abrupt or qualitative changes in the collective dynamics of interacting units across a wide range of natural and engineered systems. In dynamical networks, such transitions lead…

We analyze the 3-parameter family of random networks which are uniform on networks with fixed number of edges, triangles, and nodes (between 33 and 66). We find precursors of phase transitions which are known to be present in the asymptotic…
An analytical approach to network dynamics is used to show that when agents copy their state randomly the network arrives to a stationary status in which the distribution of states is independent of the agents degree. The effects of network…
Realistic large-scale networks display an heterogeneous distribution of connectivity weights, that might also randomly vary in time. We show that depending on the level of heterogeneity in the connectivity coefficients, different…

We analyze the non-equilibrium order-disorder transition of Axelrod's model of social interaction in several complex networks. In a small world network, we find a transition between an ordered homogeneous state and a disordered state. The…
The state of many physical, biological and socio-technical systems evolves by combining smooth local transitions and abrupt resetting events to a set of reference values. The inclusion of the resetting mechanism not only provides the…
We investigate the evolution of Boolean networks subject to a selective pressure which favors robustness against noise, as a model of evolved genetic regulatory systems. By mapping the evolutionary process into a statistical ensemble and…

A general class of stochastic gene expression models with self regulation is considered. One or more genes randomly switch between regulatory states, each having a different mRNA transcription rate. The gene or genes are self regulating…
Continuous-time systems with switch-like behaviour occur in chemical kinetics, gene regulatory networks and neural networks. Networks with hard switching, as a limiting case of smooth sigmoidal switching, retain the richest possible range…
