Abstract
The collective dynamics of interacting dynamical units on a network crucially depends on the properties of the network structure. Rather than considering large but finite graphs to capture the network, one often resorts to graph limits and the dynamics thereon. We elucidate the symmetry properties of dynamical systems on graph limits—including graphons and graphops—and analyze how the symmetry shapes the dynamics, for example through invariant subspaces. In addition to traditional symmetries, dynamics on graph limits can support generalized noninvertible symmetries. Moreover, as asymmetric networks can have symmetric limits, we note that one can expect to see ghosts of symmetries in the dynamics of large but finite asymmetric networks.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations serves as an international forum for the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed original papers in the field of mathematics, biology, engineering, physics, and other areas of science. The dynamical issues treated in the journal cover all the classical topics, including attractors, bifurcation theory, connection theory, dichotomies, stability theory and transversality, as well as topics in new and emerging areas of the field.
