Delay controls chimera relay synchronization in multiplex networks

J Sawicki, I Omelchenko, A Zakharova, E Schöll - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
We study remote (or relay) synchronization in multilayer networks between parts of one layer
and their counterparts in a second layer, where these two layers are not directly connected …

Random heterogeneity outperforms design in network synchronization

Y Zhang, JL Ocampo-Espindola… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
A widely held assumption on network dynamics is that similar components are more likely to
exhibit similar behavior than dissimilar ones and that generic differences among them are …

Topological control of synchronization patterns: Trading symmetry for stability

JD Hart, Y Zhang, R Roy, AE Motter - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Symmetries are ubiquitous in network systems and have profound impacts on the
observable dynamics. At the most fundamental level, many synchronization patterns are …

A leader-following consensus problem of multi-agent systems in heterogeneous networks

CD Cruz-Ancona, R Martínez-Guerra… - Automatica, 2020 - Elsevier
Within a differential–algebraic framework, this paper studies the leader-following consensus
problem for networks of a class of strictly different nonlinear systems. In this case, by …

Emergent microrobotic oscillators via asymmetry-induced order

JF Yang, TA Berrueta, AM Brooks, AT Liu… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Spontaneous oscillations on the order of several hertz are the drivers of many crucial
processes in nature. From bacterial swimming to mammal gaits, converting static energy …

Network experiment demonstrates converse symmetry breaking

F Molnar, T Nishikawa, AE Motter - Nature Physics, 2020 - nature.com
Symmetry breaking—the phenomenon in which the symmetry of a system is not inherited by
its stable states—underlies pattern formation, superconductivity and numerous other effects …

Endowing networks with desired symmetries and modular behavior

P Khanra, S Ghosh, D Aleja, K Alfaro-Bittner… - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Symmetries in a network regulate its organization into functional clustered states. Given a
generic ensemble of nodes and a desirable cluster (or group of clusters), we exploit the …

Identical synchronization of nonidentical oscillators: when only birds of different feathers flock together

Y Zhang, AE Motter - Nonlinearity, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
An outstanding problem in the study of networks of heterogeneous dynamical units concerns
the development of rigorous methods to probe the stability of synchronous states when the …

Modelling the perception of music in brain network dynamics

J Sawicki, L Hartmann, R Bader… - Frontiers in Network …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
We analyze the influence of music in a network of FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators with
