Coupled Networks, Patterns and Complexity - Abstract
Lehnert, Judith
Adaptive networks are characterized by a complicated interplay between the dynamics on the nodes and a changing topology: The topology evolves according to the state of the system, while at the same time the dynamics on the network and thus its state is influenced by that topology. Here, we present an algorithm for a changing topology that allows us to control the dynamics on the network. In particular, we control zero-lag and cluster synchronization in delay-coupled networks of Stuart-Landau oscillators. Our method is robust towards different initial conditions. Furthermore, it is not necessary to adapt the network as a whole but it is sufficient to apply the method to a subset of the links to control the dynamics of all nodes. Finally, we discuss the characteristics of the topology after successful control.
