Abstract

This talk will discuss an algorithmic approach to the study of dynamical systems on time-varying graphs. Diffusive influence systems have been used to model all sorts of dynamics, from political polarization to firefly, power grid, and heart pacemaker cell synchronization. We review a suite of new techniques for analyzing such systems, including the s-energy, network sequence parsing, multiagent renormalization, tensor lifts, and message-passing methods for resolving entropy-dissipation tension around critical points. Our analytical framework allows us to formulate new criteria for ensuring the asymptotic periodicity of diffusive influence systems. The main novelty of our approach is to make algorithms the central ingredient in the investigation of multiagent dynamics.
