Abstract
A network of coupled dynamical systems is represented by a graph whose vertices represent individual cells and whose edges represent couplings between cells. Motivated by the impact of synchronization results of the Kuramoto networks, we introduce the generalized class of Laplacian networks, governed by mappings whose Jacobian at any point is a symmetric matrix with row entries summing to zero. By recognizing this matrix with a weighted Laplacian of the associated graph, we derive the optimal estimates of its positive, null and negative eigenvalues directly from the graph topology. Furthermore, we provide a characterization of the mappings that define Laplacian networks. Lastly, we discuss stability of equilibria inside synchrony subspaces for two types of Laplacian network on a ring with some extra couplings.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
