Overview
Explore the fascinating world of temporal networks in this illuminating lecture by Sean Cornelius from Ryerson University. Delve into the complexities of time-varying interaction networks found in various systems, from food webs to infrastructure and human social networks. Discover how link temporality challenges traditional network analysis methods and complicates processes like navigation, routing, and diffusion. Uncover the surprising advantages of temporal networks in dynamical systems, including superior controllability properties and the promotion of cooperation among self-interested individuals. Gain insights into ongoing research on exploiting temporal networks for stable synchronization of coupled oscillators. Learn why temporality in networks can be viewed as a powerful asset rather than a hindrance, offering inherent flexibility and potential for network dynamics.
