Dear All, There will also be an IFISC seminar next Wednesday, 5th October, at 14:30. No email automated email announcement went out (mea culpa, forgot to click the necessary boxes). Synchronization in complex networks under uncertainty IFISC SEMINAR Lluís Arola Fernández, IFISC The theory behind the synchronization of network-coupled oscillators is solid and has significantly advanced lately, especially in the mean-field problem. However, real systems have complex interactions that difficult the analytical treatment. Most existing results rely on black-boxes that hinder interpretation and require global information, while available data is usually incomplete. In this seminar, I will overview some results of my PhD thesis motivated by these limitations, including methods to predict the non-linear amplification of noise from network weights to the synchronization onset and the role of dyadic and higher-order interactions in synchrony optimization, a geometric unfolding of the synchronized state which explains the emergence of synchronization bombs, and algebraic shortcuts to find critical points using rank-reduced network models. These tools also unveil some mechanistic explanations that were hidden behind the prevalent assumptions of complete information.
