Hierarchy and Polysynchrony in an adaptive network
arXiv:1403.3209 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.89.062809
Abstract
We describe a simple adaptive network of coupled chaotic maps. The network reaches a stationary state (frozen topology) for all values of the coupling parameter, although the dynamics of the maps at the nodes of the network can be non-trivial. The structure of the network shows interesting hierarchical properties and in certain parameter regions the dynamics is polysynchronous: nodes can be divided in differently synchronized classes but contrary to cluster synchronization, nodes in the same class need not be connected to each other. These complicated synchrony patterns have been conjectured to play roles in systems biology and circuits. The adaptive system we study describes ways whereby this behaviour can evolve from undifferentiated nodes.
