Seminar: Applications of Complex Networks - Winter Term 2014/15
Seminar: Applications of Complex Networks
Winter Term 2014/15
LV-Nr. 3233 L 607 G-RISC Seminar
Prof. Dr. Eckehard Schöll, PhD
Dr. Anna Zakharova, Dr. Philipp Hövel
Time: Tuesday, 12:15
Room: EW 731 (PN 731)
Begin: 14 October 2014
The seminar offers perspectives on our current research in the area of Nonlinear Dynamics and Control. The seminar is particularly suitable for BSc and MSc students looking for a final project. Students who want to obtain a "Seminarschein" are welcome as well.
The nonlinear dynamics on complex networks is a field of active research with applications in diverse fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, technology, or socio-economic systems, for instance coupled lasers, neuronal networks, genetic regulatory networks, electronic circuits, chemical or electrochemical oscillators, power grids, transportation networks, or the internet. The seminar will focus on spatio-temporal patterns like full or partial synchronization, stabilization of inhomogeneous steady states (oscillation death), and chimera states which consist of coexisting domains of spatially coherent (synchronized) and incoherent (desynchronized) behavior.
The seminar is in cooperation with the research group Fradkov (St.Petersburg State University, Russia) and is supported by the German-Russian Interdisciplinary Science Center (G-RISC).
