TitleCoupled cell systems
ParticipantsPedro Tiago da Costa Soares (Principal Investigator)
SummaryA coupled cell system is a dynamical system that respects a network structure.
In multiple fields, the interactions between entities can be represented as a network.
The coupled cell systems assign a variable for each entity, and their direct dependence is given by
network connections.
The network structure distinguishes different type of entities and interactions, allowing for
heterogeneous and homogenous network with symmetric or asymmetric interactions.
And the coupled cell formalism reflected the different type of entities and interactions.
Thus, this formalism is suitable for sciences, e.g. neuronal networks, population models, coupled
oscillators...
We intend to study general dynamical properties that can be explained/obtained by the network
structure.
