ROBUSTNESS AND RESILIENCE
OF DYNAMICAL NETWORKS IN NATURE
Abstract:
Natural systems across biology, ecology and epidemiology can be seen as dynamical networks, namely dynamical systems that are naturally endowed with an underlying network structure, because they are composed of several subsystems that interact according to an interconnection topology. Despite their large scale and complexity, natural systems are often able to preserve fundamental properties and qualitative behaviors even in the presence of huge perturbations and uncertainties, both intrinsic and extrinsic.
In this talk, we look for the source of the extraordinary robustness that often characterizes systems in nature, by identifying properties and emergent behaviors that exclusively depend on the system structure (the graph topology along with qualitative information), regardless of parameter values. Then, we discuss the limitations of structural methodologies, which may be overcome by integrating and complementing them with probabilistic approaches, and we propose definitions of resilience that complement the notion of robustness and can be effectively applied to biological models.
