Interdisciplinary Physics Science at the Edge Seminar Series Friday 11:30 a.m. with refreshments served at 11:15 a.m. 1400 Biomedical and Physical Sciences Building Title: To what extent can networks be controlled? And what for? Speaker: Adilson E. Motter, Department of Physics and Astronomy- Northwestern University Abstract: Numerous systems are now modeled as complex networks of coupled dynamical entities. Nonlinearity and high-dimensionality are hallmarks of the dynamics of complex networks but have generally been regarded as obstacles to control. In this talk, I will discuss recent approaches to control nonlinear network dynamics that are effective in large networks and even in the presence of constraints, noise, and uncertainty. I will also discuss applications to physical, biomedical, and ecological problems, including transient stability, drug target identification, cascade control, and network repurposing. http://www.pa.msu.edu/seminars/edge/current Interdisciplinary Physics Seminars: Carlo Piermarocchi, Physics & Astronomy [log in to unmask] Shawna Prater / Secretary Astrophysics Group Michigan State University 567 Wilson Road, Room 3261 Biomedical Physical Sciences Bldg East Lansing, MI 48824-2320 Ph: (517) 884-5601 Fax (517) 432-8802 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> This e-mail may contain confidential information.
