dynamic processes over networks • spread of information, diseases, rumors • diffusion process, agreement • Ising model, spin systems, Landhu theory • cellular auotmata • iterated games • weakly coupled oscillators, synchronization
Laplacians/agreement dynamics possibly dynamic example:
random graphs Paul Erdos “A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems.”
agreement over random networks n = 10 P = 0.1 Gk(n,p) updates every second Gk(n,p) is disconnected for all k 10 sec
dynamics over random graphs:why bother? robustness analysis ease of use quasi-randomness probabilistic method “I know too well that these arguments from probabilities are imposters, and unless great caution is observed in the use of them, they are apt to be deceptive.” Plato
Laplacians dynamics over random graphs k=0 k=1 k=2 k=3 G0(n,p) G1(n,p) G2(n,p) G3(n,p)
agreement over random networks • agreement on heading direction • edge probability p=0.02 • random graph updates every 2 seconds : agent with heading vector : information link
Erdos meets Lyapunov “Television is something the Russians invented to destroy American education.”
rate of convergence Rate of convergence depends on
random matrices and their spectrum Juvan and Mohar (1993) Juhasz (1991) Furedi & Komlos (1981) Wigner (1955)
l2(n,p) for large networks • sharper bounds for when n large • : increasing function of n and p Recall:
l2(n,p) # of times 100 0.8 50 0 observation: for fixed p convergence is improved for large n
on deterministic uses of randomness why study dynamics over random graphs • robustness analysis • ease of use • quasi-randomness • probabilistic method • in the spirit of • randomized algorithms • probabilistic method • probabilistic checkable proofs • statistical mechanics • and so on …
