Consensus, synchronization, formation control, and power grid balance are all examples of virtuous dynamical states that may arise in networks. Here we focus on how such states can be destabilized from a fundamental perspective; namely, we address the question of how one or a few intruder agents within an otherwise functioning network may compromis...
This paper investigates the concept of reactivity for a nonlinear discrete-time system and generalizes this concept to the case of the p-iteration system, p > 1. We introduce a definition of reactivity for nonlinear discrete-time systems based on a general weighted norm. Stability conditions of the first iteration system based on the reactivity of...
Synchronization of coupled oscillators is a fundamental process in both natural and artificial networks. While much work has investigated the asymptotic stability of the synchronous solution, the fundamental question of the transient behavior toward synchronization has received far less attention. In this work, we present the transverse reactivity...
We attempt to achieve complete synchronization between a drive system unidirectionally coupled with a response system, under the assumption that limited knowledge on the states of the drive is available at the response. Machine-learning techniques have been previously implemented to estimate the states of a dynamical system from limited measurement...
Emergent behavior in complex networks can be predicted and analyzed via the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry-breaking bifurcation, in which solutions of related bifurcation problems lose symmetry as some parameters are varied, even though the equations that such solutions satisfy retain the full symmetry of the system. A less common mechanism is t...
Systems that synchronize in nature are intrinsically different from one another, with possibly large differences from system to system. While a vast part of the literature has investigated the emergence of network synchronization for the case of small parametric mismatches, we consider the general case that parameter mismatches may be large. We pre...
This perspective reviews the subject of synchronization in networks of coupled non-phase oscillators in the presence of parametric mismatches. We first discuss the case of small parametric mismatches, for which the conditions for stability of the synchronous solution are the same as in the case of identical oscillators, but the synchronization erro...
The problem of achieving consensus in a network of connected systems arises in many science and engineering applications. In contrast to previous works, we focus on the system reactivity, i.e., the initial amplification of the norm of the system states. We identify a class of networks that we call minimally reactive, which are such that the indegre...
We attempt to achieve isochronal synchronization between a drive system unidirectionally coupled to a response system, under the assumption that limited knowledge on the states of the drive is available at the response. Machine learning techniques have been previously implemented to estimate the states of a dynamical system from limited measurement...

This paper is concerned with the application of model predictive control (MPC) to large-scale linear dynamical systems with linear inequality constraints. A decomposition is proposed of such problems into sets of independent MPCs of lower dimensions that preserves all information about the system, cost function, and constraints. Different from prev...

An important property of a dynamical system is its reactivity, i.e., the initial rate of growth of the norm of the state vector. However, most literature on reactivity has focused on continuous time systems. Here we define the reactivity of discrete time systems and apply it to characterize the dynamics of network systems and Markov chains. We also...
In this paper, we consider optimal control problems (OCPs) applied to large-scale linear dynamical systems with a large number of states and inputs. We attempt to reduce such problems into a set of independent OCPs of lower dimensions. Our decomposition is ‘exact’ in the sense that it preserves all the information about the original system and the...
The main motivation for this paper is to characterize network synchronizability for the case of cluster synchronization (CS), in an analogous fashion to Barahona and Pecora [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 054101 (2002)] for the case of complete synchronization. We find this problem to be substantially more complex than the original one. We distinguish betwee...
We study the swing equation in the case of a multilayer network in which generators and motors are modeled differently; namely, the model for each generator is given by second order dynamics and the model for each motor is given by first order dynamics. We also remove the commonly used assumption of equal damping coefficients in the second order dy...
The main motivation for this paper is to present a definition of network synchronizability for the case of cluster synchronization, similar to the definition introduced by Barahona and Pecora for the case of complete synchronization. We find this problem to be substantially more complex than the original one. We distinguish between the cases that t...
