- New paper with @math-martens.bsky.social on "Multiple timescale dynamics of network adaptation with constraints" now available Open Access in Chaos: doi.org/10.1063/5.02...
- Adaptivity is a crucial ingredient of many networked systems, but a key issue is their high-dimensionality. A dense network of N nodes has O(N^2) adaptive connections.Oct 28, 2025 16:01
- We introduce constraints to the adaptive dynamics as a way to reduce dimensionality. These may be intrinsic, for example, if the adaptation rule is nondirectional. Or they may be forced by a homeostasis mechanism.
- This motivates new mathematical insights into the multiple time scale dynamics of adaptive networks. And opens up questions how constraints and adaptive dependency is realized in real world adaptive networks.
- The nice summary "Reducing the dimensions of adaptive networks" for a broader audience was published alongside the paper at doi.org/10.1063/10.0...
- A summary of the results are now also part of a @oxfordmathematics.bsky.social Research Case Study: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/74552
