Title: CONTROL AND CONTROLLABILITY IN COMPLEX NETWORKS OF COUPLED DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

Speaker: Adilson Motter

Abstract: An increasing number of complex systems are now modeled as large networks of coupled dynamical entities.  Nonlinearity and high-dimensionality are hallmarks of the dynamics of such networks but have generally been regarded as obstacles to control. In this presentation, I will discuss advances on mathematical and computational approaches to control high-dimensional nonlinear network dynamics under general constraints on the admissible interventions. The presentation will be focused on classical networks but will also benefit from some comparisons with quantum scenarios of potential interest.
