Network optimization strategies for the process of synchronization have generally focused on the re-wiring or re-weighting of links in order to: (1) expand the range of coupling strengths that achieve synchronization, (2) expand the basin of attraction for the synchronization manifold, or (3) lower the average time to synchronization. A new optimization goal is proposed in seeking the minimum subset of the edge set of the original network that enables the same essential ability to synchronize. We call this type of minimal spanning subgraph an Essential Synchronization Backbone (ESB) of the original system, and we present two algorithms for computing this subgraph. One is by an exhaustive search and the other is a method of approximation for this combinatorial problem. The solution spaces that result from different choices of dynamical systems and coupling vary with the level of hierarchical structure present and also the number of interwoven central cycles. These may provide insight into synchronization as a process of sharing and transferring information. Applications can include the important problem in civil engineering of power grid hardening, where new link creation may be costly, but instead, the defense of certain key links to the functional process may be prioritized.

Revealing how a biological network is organized to realize its function is one of the main topics in systems biology. The functional backbone network, defined as the primary structure of the biological network, is of great importance in maintaining the main function of the biological network. We propose a new algorithm, the tinker algorithm, to determine this core structure and apply it in the cell-cycle system. With this algorithm, the backbone network of the cell-cycle network can be determined accurately and efficiently in various models such as the Boolean model, stochastic model, and ordinary differential equation model. Results show that our algorithm is more efficient than that used in the previous research. We hope this method can be put into practical use in relevant future studies.
In previously identified forms of remote synchronization between two nodes, the intermediate portion of the network connecting the two nodes is not synchronized with them but generally exhibits some coherent dynamics. Here we report on a network phenomenon we call incoherence-mediated remote synchronization (IMRS), in which two non-contiguous parts of the network are identically synchronized while the dynamics of the intermediate part is statistically and information-theoretically incoherent. We identify mirror symmetry in the network structure as a mechanism allowing for such behavior, and show that IMRS is robust against dynamical noise as well as against parameter changes. IMRS may underlie neuronal information processing and potentially lead to network solutions for encryption key distribution and secure communication.
In applications of dynamical systems, situations can arise where it is desired to predict the onset of synchronization as it can lead to characteristic and significant changes in the system performance and behaviors, for better or worse. In experimental and real settings, the system equations are often unknown, raising the need to develop a prediction framework that is model free and fully data driven. We contemplate that this challenging problem can be addressed with machine learning. In particular, exploiting reservoir computing or echo state networks, we devise a parameter-aware scheme to train the neural machine using asynchronous time series, i.e., in the parameter regime prior to the onset of synchronization. A properly trained machine will possess the power to predict the synchronization transition in that, with a given amount of parameter drift, whether the system would remain asynchronous or exhibit synchronous dynamics can be accurately anticipated. We demonstrate the machine-learning based framework using representative chaotic models and small network systems that exhibit continuous (second-order) or abrupt (first-order) transitions. A remarkable feature is that, for a network system exhibiting an explosive (first-order) transition and a hysteresis loop in synchronization, the machine learning scheme is capable of accurately predicting these features, including the precise locations of the transition points associated with the forward and backward transition paths.
All interesting and fascinating collective properties of a complex system arise from the intricate way in which its components interact. Various systems in physics, biology, social sciences and engineering have been successfully modelled as networks of coupled dynamical systems, where the graph links describe pairwise interactions. This is, however, too strong a limitation, as recent studies have revealed that higher-order many-body interactions are present in social groups, ecosystems and in the human brain, and they actually affect the emergent dynamics of all these systems. Here, we introduce a general framework that allows to study coupled dynamical systems accounting for the precise microscopic structure of their interactions at any possible order. We consider the most general ensemble of identical dynamical systems, organized on the nodes of a simplicial complex, and interacting through synchronization-non-invasive coupling function. The simplicial complex can be of any dimension, meaning that it can account, at the same time, for pairwise interactions, three-body interactions and so on. In such a broad context, we show that complete synchronization exists as an invariant solution, and we give the necessary condition for it to be observed as a stable state in terms of a Master Stability Function. This generalizes the existing results valid for pairwise interactions (i.e. graphs) to the case of complex systems with the most general possible architecture. Moreover, we show how the approach can be simplified for specific, yet frequently occurring, instances, and we verify all our theoretical predictions in synthetic and real-world systems. Given the completely general character of the method proposed, our results contribute to the theory of dynamical systems with many-body interactions and can find applications in an extremely wide range of practical cases.

The features of animal population dynamics, for instance, flocking and migration, are often synchronized for survival under large-scale climate change or perceived threats. These coherent phenomena have been explained using synchronization models. However, such models do not take into account asynchronous and adaptive updating of an individuals status at each time. Here, we modify the Kuramoto model slightly by classifying oscillators as leaders or followers, according to their angular velocity at each time, where individuals interact asymmetrically according to their leader/follower status. As the angular velocities of the oscillators are updated, the leader and follower status may also be reassigned. Owing to this adaptive dynamics, oscillators may cooperate by taking turns acting as a leader or follower. This may result in intriguing patterns of synchronization transitions, including hybrid phase transitions, and produce the leader-follower switching pattern observed in bird migration patterns.
