Complex networks: two ways to be robust?

Complex networks: two ways to be robust?

Carlos J. Melián* and Jordi Bascompte Integrative Ecology Group, Estación Biológica de Doñana, CSIC Apdo. 1056, E-41013 Sevilla, Spain *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Recent studies of biological networks have focused on the distribution of the number of links per node. However, the connectivity distribution does not uncover all the complexity of their topology. Here, we a...

Two ways to be complex and why they matter: implications for attitude strength and lying.

Integrative complexity broadly measures the structural complexity of statements. This breadth, although beneficial in multiple ways, can potentially hamper the development of specific theories. In response, the authors developed a model of complex thinking, focusing on 2 different ways that people can be complex within the integrative complexity system and subsequently developed measurements of...

Two ways to condense

Two ways to condense G ene-rich euchromatin and largely untranscribed heterochromatin may follow different rules to prepare for mitosis, according to J. Robert Manak, Joseph Lipsick, and colleagues (Stanford University, Stanford, CA). From S phase to prophase, chromatin must replicate and then condense to prepare for mitosis. In most eukaryotic cells, euchromatin starts the process by replicati...

Robust global synchronization of two complex dynamical networks.

We investigate the synchronization of two coupled complex dynamical networks, a problem that has been termed outer synchronization in the literature. Our approach relies on (a) a basic lemma on the eigendecomposition of matrices resulting from Kronecker products and (b) a suitable choice of Lyapunov function related to the synchronization error dynamics. Starting from these two ingredients, a t...
