Experimental Four-Node Network Topologies Summer 2014 Previously studied CRS Williams et al. CHAOS 23, 043117 (2013)
The Experiment CRS Williams et al. CHAOS 23, 043117 (2013) Four nodes form a delay-coupled system with weighted and directed links. Weight is determined by the coupling strength ε as implemented by the DSP board.
Dynamics of a Node Changing the feedback strength β of a node varies the dynamics of the node. CRS Williams et al. CHAOS 23, 043117 (2013) x(t) (A.U.) time (ms)
Experimental Network Topologies Bidirectional ring Bidirectional chain with unidirectional links Bottom: Laplacian coupling matrices for the two networks, respectively.
Bidirectional Chain with Unidirectional Links
Future work - The synchronous states that arise depend on topology of the network. - Transitions between synchronous states depend on coupling strength. Conclusions - Stability analysis for synchronous states - Many-node networks - Comparison of convergence rates between global and cluster synchrony
