Simple dynamics on graphs

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Does the interaction graph of a finite dynamical system can force this system to have a "complex" dynamics ? In other words, given a finite interval of integers A, which are the signed digraphs G such that every finite dynamical system f:AnoAn with G as interaction graph has a "complex" dynamics ? If |A|geq3 we prove that no such signed digraph exists. More precisely, we prove that for every signed digraph G there exists a system f:AnoAn with G as interaction graph that converges toward a unique fixed point in at most lfloorlog2nfloor+2 steps. The boolean case |A|=2 is more difficult, and we provide partial answers instead. We exhibit large classes of unsigned digraphs which admit boolean dynamical systems which converge toward a unique fixed point in polynomial, linear or constant time.
