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.
