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.
