Practical Questions and Unexpected Answers in Network Synchronization - Optimization and Control

Santa Fe Institute via YouTube

Overview

Explore a comprehensive lecture on network synchronization, optimization, and control, delving into practical questions and unexpected answers. Examine cardiac pacemaker cells, Escherichia coli cell cycles, and Kuramoto phase oscillators. Investigate the assumption of strong synchronization, Laplacian spectral properties, and order parameters. Analyze optimal network structures and dynamics, including networks with subsystems. Learn about control strategies for finding and stabilizing frequency-synchronized states using the Gershgorin circle theorem. Discover control mechanisms and the expansion of the SAF (Synchronization Assessment Function) in this in-depth exploration of complex systems.
