Synchronization theory - BIL-Synchronization theory of complex oscillatory networks and applications.
From 01-01-2006 to 31-12-2009
Description
The investigation of collective phenomena and its control in oscillatory networks is a main problem of study within this project. Theoretical, numerical and experimental studies of collective behaviour in ensembles of coupled regular and chaotic systems will be performed. For networks with complex topology we will study transition to (from) different synchronous regimes and their characteristics. We will analyze the influence of network configurations, system parameters and different types of coupling on synchronization phenomena. We will elaborate on optimal control strategies of synchronous and non-synchronous behaviour. The study of synchronous regimes and opportunities of controlling it in complex networks together with experiments at the level of cellular neural networks chips is considered to be a promising way (i) to achieve a better understanding of the main collective dynamical properties, (ii) to establish the basis of synchronization theory of oscillatory networks, and (iii) to obtain preconditions for designing artificial networks capable of information processing, functioning as associative memory, learning and performing control functions. Principles of synchronization will also be further explored in relation to cooperative search for solving optimization problems.Team
