In this work, we investigate a model of an adaptive networked dynamical system, where the coupling strengths among phase oscillators coevolve with the phase states. It is shown that in this model the oscillators can spontaneously differentiate into two dynamical groups after a long time evolution. Within each group, the oscillators have similar phases, while oscillators in different groups have approximately opposite phases. The network gradually converts from the initial random structure with a uniform distribution of connection strengths into a modular structure which is characterized by strong intra connections and weak inter connections. Furthermore, the connection strengths follow a power law distribution, which is a natural consequence of the coevolution of the network and the dynamics. Interestingly, it is found that if the inter connections are weaker than a certain threshold, the two dynamical groups will almost decouple and evolve independently. These results are helpful in further understanding the empirical observations in many social and biological networks.

We study information processing in populations of Boolean networks with evolving connectivity and systematically explore the interplay between the learning capability, robustness, the network topology, and the task complexity. We solve a long-standin g open question and find computationally that, for large system sizes $N$, adaptive information processing drives the networks to a critical connectivity $K_{c}=2$. For finite size networks, the connectivity approaches the critical value with a power-law of the system size $N$. We show that network learning and generalization are optimized near criticality, given task complexity and the amount of information provided threshold values. Both random and evolved networks exhibit maximal topological diversity near $K_{c}$. We hypothesize that this supports efficient exploration and robustness of solutions. Also reflected in our observation is that the variance of the values is maximal in critical network populations. Finally, we discuss implications of our results for determining the optimal topology of adaptive dynamical networks that solve computational tasks.
We study the collective behavior of nonequilibrium systems subject to an external field with a dynamics characterized by the existence of non-interacting states. Aiming at exploring the generality of the results, we consider two types of models accor ding to the nature of their state variables: (i) a vector model, where interactions are proportional to the overlap between the states, and (ii) a scalar model, where interaction depends on the distance between states. In both cases the system displays three phases: two ordered phases, one parallel to the field, and another orthogonal to the field; and a disordered phase. The phase space is numerically characterized for each model in a fully connected network. By placing the particles on a small-world network, we show that, while a regular lattice favors the alignment with the field, the presence of long-range interactions promotes the formation of the ordered phase orthogonal to the field.
We review three studies of information flow in social networks that help reveal their underlying social structure, how information spreads through them and why small world experiments work.
In this work, we study the dynamical robustness in a system consisting of both active and inactive oscillators. We analytically show that the dynamical robustness of such system is determined by the cross link density between active and inactive subp opulations, which depends on the specific process of inactivation. It is the multi-valued dependence of the cross link density on the control parameter, i.e., the ratio of inactive oscillators in the system, that leads to the fluctuation of the critical points. We further investigate how different network topologies and inactivation strategies affect the fluctuation. Our results explain why the fluctuation is more obvious in heterogeneous networks than in homogeneous ones, and why the low-degree nodes are crucial in terms of dynamical robustness. The analytical results are supported by numerical verifications.

We report on zero field cooled magnetization relaxation experiments on a concen- trated frozen ferrofluid exhibiting a low temperature superspin glass transition. With a method initially developed for spin glasses, we investigate the field dependence of the relaxations that take place after different aging times. We extract the typical number of correlated spins involved in the aging dynamics. This brings important insights into the dynamical correlation length and its time growth. Our results, consistent with expressions obtained for spin glasses, extend the generality of these behaviours to the class of superspin glasses. Since the typical flipping time is much larger for superspins than for atomic spins, our experiments probe a time regime much closer to that of numerical simulations.
