Transfer Dynamics and Spectral Cascades in Graph-Coupled Kuramoto Networks

This work introduces a spectral transfer formalism for nonlinear synchronisation dynamics to resolve how internal dynamical activity redistributes across network scales, moving beyond traditional global observables like the Kuramoto order parameter. By projecting Kuramoto phase dynamics onto the eigenbasis of the graph...

Rare-event sampling for stochastic dynamics in network systems using cluster updates

A novel technique called conditional-path Monte Carlo (CPMC), inspired by loop algorithms from equilibrium condensed-matter physics, which generates a Markov chain of trajectories that all strictly respect the targeted macroscopic boundary conditions like the occurrence of a massive network failure.

Phase Aggregation and Poisson Approximation in Multi-Scale Markov-Switching Stochastic Dynamical Systems

We study nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems that evolve in a Markov environment with separated fast and slow transition scales. These systems are also subject to impulsive perturbations under a Poisson approximation scheme. The environment is represented on a product state space, and phase aggregation is used to av...

Conditional-path Monte Carlo for rare stochastic dynamics on networks: Details and derivations

This paper provides the rigorous mathematical foundations and algorithmic details underlying the CPMC framework, and details a dynamic programming scheme to exactly implement complex boundary conditions - including patient-zero and macroscopic outbreak-size constraints - enabling the rejection-free generation of valid...

Coherent-state field-theoretic simulations of fluctuation-dominated reaction-diffusion systems.

Stochastic reaction-diffusion systems can exhibit fluctuation-dominated kinetics that is not captured by well-mixed rate equations, particularly at and below the upper critical dimension. Here, we develop and benchmark a coherent-state field-theoretic simulation framework derived from the Doi-Peliti representation of m...

Multidimensional dynamical centrality from Green functions in complex networks

Conventional centrality measures provide compact descriptions of node importance, but they emphasize specific structural relations and do not directly resolve the temporal and spectral organization of dynamical perturbation responses. Building on the Green function of a linearized networked system, we develop a multidi...
