Statistics of Extreme Fluctuations in Task Completion Landscapes Hasan Guclu (LANL) with G. Korniss (Rensselaer) Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge, UK; June 26-30, 2006
Motivation and introduction • Synchronization is a fundamental problem in coupled multi-component systems. • Small-World networks help autonomous synchronization. But what about extreme fluctuations? Extreme fluctuations are to be avoided for scalability and stability. • We discuss to what extent SW couplings lead to suppression of the extreme fluctuations. • One typical example of task-completion systems is Parallel Discrete-Event Simulation (PDES). • Stochastic time increments in task completion system correspond to noise in the associated surface growth problem. We used both exponential (short-tailed) and power-law noise (heavy-tailed).

Summary • Small-World links introduces a finite effective correlation length, so the system can be divided into small quasi-independent blocks. • When the interaction topology in a network is changed from regular lattice into small-world or scale-free, the extreme fluctuations diverge weakly (logarithmically) with the system size when the noise in the system is short-tailed and diverge in the power-law fashion when the noise is heavy-tailed noise. • The extreme statistics is governed by Fisher-Tippet Type I (Gumbel) distribution when noise in the system is exponential or Gaussian and Fréchet distribution in the case of power-law noise. • Refs: H.
