Fluctuation-induced Distributed Resonances in Oscillatory Networks

Abstract

Self-organized network dynamics prevails for systems across physics, biology and engineering. How external signals generate distributed responses in networked systems fundamentally underlies their function, yet is far from fully understood. Here we analyze the dynamic response patterns of oscillatory networks to fluctuating input signals. We disentangle the impact of the signal distribution across the network, the signals' frequency contents and the network topology. We analytically derive qualitatively different dynamic response patterns and find three frequency regimes: homogeneous responses at low frequencies, topology-dependent resonances at intermediate frequencies, and localized responses at high frequencies. The theory faithfully predicts the network-wide collective responses to regular and irregular, localized and distributed simulated signals, as well as to real input signals to power grids recorded from renewable-energy supplies. These results not only provide general insights into the formation of dynamic response patterns in networked systems but also suggest regime- and topology-specific design principles underlying network function.
