Cycle-Star Motifs: Network Response to Link Modifications
(Springer, 2024) Eroğlu, Deniz; Kiran, Narcicegi; Eroglu, Deniz; Pereira, Tiago
Understanding efficient modifications to improve network functionality is a fundamental problem of scientific and industrial interest. We study the response of network dynamics against link modifications on a weakly connected directed graph consisting of two strongly connected components: an undirected star and an undirected cycle. We assume that there are directed edges starting from the cycle and ending at the star (master-slave formalism). We modify the graph by adding directed edges of arbitrarily large weights starting from the star and ending at the cycle (opposite direction of the cutset). We provide criteria (based on the sizes of the star and cycle, the coupling structure, and the weights of cutset and modification edges) that determine how the modification affects the spectral gap of the Laplacian matrix. We apply our approach to understand the modifications that either enhance or hinder synchronization in networks of chaotic Lorenz systems as well as R & ouml;ssler. Our results show that the hindrance of collective dynamics due to link additions is not atypical as previously anticipated by modification analysis and thus allows for better control of collective properties.
The effect of link modifications on network synchronization
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2022) KIRAN, NARÇİÇEĞİ; Eroğlu, Deniz; Eroglu, Deniz
A major issue in studying complex network systems, such as neuroscience and power grids, is understanding the response of network dynamics to link modifications. The notion of network G(G, f, H) refers to di↵usively coupled identical oscillators, where isolated dynamics are chosen to be chaotic. As a consequence of the di↵usive nature, a globally synchronized state emerges as an invariant synchronization subspace, and it will be locally stable above critical coupling strength. Furthermore, the real part of the second minimum eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix is inverse proportional to the critical coupling strength. Thus, we can use it to determine the synchronizability between two networks. Due to the asymmetry of the Laplacian matrix of a directed graph, adding directed links might cause a decrease in the real part of the second minimum eigenvalue of the Laplacian. If, after adding a link to a graph in a given network, the real part of the second minimum eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix increases, it is called the enhancement of synchronization. Otherwise, it is called the hindrance of synchronization. In this research, we explore how the stability of synchronization at di↵usively coupled oscillators is a↵ected by link modifications for the networks created using particular motifs, i.e., cycle and star motifs. We consider a weakly connected directed graph consisting of two strongly connected components connected by directed link(s) (called cutset). We study the synchronization transitions in such networks when new directed link(s) between the components, in the opposite direction of the cutset, is added and strongly connects the whole network. We explore which properties of underlying graphs and their connected components may hinder or enhance the synchronization.

Emergent hypernetworks in weakly coupled oscillators
(Nature Portfolio, 2022) Eroğlu, Deniz; Ocampo-Espindola, Jorge Luis; Eroglu, Deniz; Kiss, Istvan Z.; Pereira, Tiago
Networks of weakly coupled oscillators had a profound impact on our understanding of complex systems. Studies on model reconstruction from data have shown prevalent contributions from hypernetworks with triplet and higher interactions among oscillators, in spite that such models were originally defined as oscillator networks with pairwise interactions. Here, we show that hypernetworks can spontaneously emerge even in the presence of pairwise albeit nonlinear coupling given certain triplet frequency resonance conditions. The results are demonstrated in experiments with electrochemical oscillators and in simulations with integrate-and-fire neurons. By developing a comprehensive theory, we uncover the mechanism for emergent hypernetworks by identifying appearing and forbidden frequency resonant conditions. Furthermore, it is shown that microscopic linear (difference) coupling among units results in coupled mean fields, which have sufficient nonlinearity to facilitate hypernetworks. Our findings shed light on the apparent abundance of hypernetworks and provide a constructive way to predict and engineer their emergence.

First-principle validation of Fourier's law in d=1, 2, 3 classical systems
(Elsevier, 2023) Eroğlu, Deniz; Lima, Henrique Santos; Tirnakli, Ugur; Eroglu, Deniz
We numerically study the thermal transport in the classical inertial nearest-neighbor XY ferromagnet in d = 1, 2, 3, the total number of sites being given by N = Ld, where L is the linear size of the system. For the thermal conductance sigma, we obtain sigma(T, L)L delta(d)= A(d) e-B(d) [L gamma (d)T ]eta(d) (with ez q(d) q equivalent to [1+(1-q)z]1/(1-q); ez1 = ez; A(d) > 0; B(d) > 0; q(d) > 1; eta(d) > 2; delta >= 0; gamma(d) > 0), for all values of L gamma(d)T for d = 1, 2, 3. In the L -> infinity limit, we have sigma proportional to 1/L rho sigma(d) with rho sigma(d) = delta(d)+gamma(d)eta(d)/[q(d)-1]. The material conductivity is given by kappa = sigma Ld proportional to 1/L rho kappa(d) (L -> infinity) with rho kappa(d) = rho sigma(d) - d. Our numerical results are consistent with 'conspiratory' d-dependences of (q, eta, delta, gamma), which comply with normal thermal conductivity (Fourier law) for all dimensions.(c) 2023 Published by Elsevier B.V.
Generalized synchronization: Master-slave relationship in three coupled systems
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2022) Doğan, Gizem; Eroğlu, Deniz; Eroglu, Deniz
Synchronization is an important phenomenon for complex, biological, and physical systems such as the brain, i.e., Parkinson’s disease, heart beating, hand-clapping, power grids, lasers, and many others. Intuitively, we can express synchronization as strong correlations between coupled systems. We can state two scenarios in this manner. One is synchronization between identical systems, which is called complete synchronization; the other is the synchronization between the non-identical systems, called generalized synchronization. In this thesis, initially, we considered the two coupled systems and calculated the critical coupling value for the generalized synchronization analytically. More precisely, the Lorenz system drives two R¨ossler systems. We investigated the critical coupling value for synchronization numerically. However, real-world examples are much more complex. The most straightforward case was the two coupled systems for the generalized synchronization, and next, we focus on three coupled systems. In particular, suppose that we have three coupled one Lorenz and two R¨ossler systems. In our example, the Lorenz system drives the first R¨ossler system, and first R¨ossler system drives the second R¨ossler system, and finally, the second R¨ossler system also drives the Lorenz system. We calculated the critical coupling of the whole system for generalized synchronization and analyzed the time series for each system.

Network structural origin of instabilities in large complex systems
(Amer Assoc Advancement Science, 2022) Eroğlu, Deniz; Nishikawa, Takashi; Eroglu, Deniz; Motter, Adilson E.
A central issue in the study of large complex network systems, such as power grids, financial networks, and ecological systems, is to understand their response to dynamical perturbations. Recent studies recognize that many real networks show nonnormality and that nonnormality can give rise to reactivity-the capacity of a linearly stable system to amplify its response to perturbations, oftentimes exciting nonlinear instabilities. Here, we identify network structural properties underlying the pervasiveness of nonnormality and reactivity in real directed networks, which we establish using the most extensive dataset of such networks studied in this context to date. The identified properties are imbalances between incoming and outgoing network links and paths at each node. On the basis of this characterization, we develop a theory that quantitatively predicts nonnormality and reactivity and explains the observed pervasiveness. We suggest that these results can be used to design, upgrade, control, and manage networks to avoid or promote network instabilities.

Nonlinear time series analysis of palaeoclimate proxy records
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Eroğlu, Deniz; Donges, Jonathan F.; Donner, Reik, V; Eroglu, Deniz
Identifying and characterising dynamical regime shifts, critical transitions or potential tipping points in palaeoclimate time series is relevant for improving the understanding of often highly nonlinear Earth system dynamics. Beyond linear changes in time series properties such as mean, variance, or trend, these nonlinear regime shifts can manifest as changes in signal predictability, regularity, complexity, or higher-order stochastic properties such as multi-stability. In recent years, several classes of methods have been put forward to study these critical transitions in time series data that are based on concepts from nonlinear dynamics, complex systems science, information theory, and stochastic analysis. These include approaches such as phase space-based recurrence plots and recurrence networks, visibility graphs, order pattern-based entropies, and stochastic modelling. Here, we review and compare in detail several prominent methods from these fields by applying them to the same set of marine palaeoclimate proxy records of African climate variations during the past 5 million years. Applying these methods, we observe notable nonlinear transitions in palaeoclimate dynamics in these marine proxy records and discuss them in the context of important climate events and regimes such as phases of intensified Walker circulation, marine isotope stage M2, the onset of northern hemisphere glaciation and the mid-Pleistocene transition. We find that the studied approaches complement each other by allowing us to point out distinct aspects of dynamical regime shifts in palaeoclimate time series. We also detect significant correlations of these nonlinear regime shift indicators with variations of Earth's orbit, suggesting the latter as potential triggers of nonlinear transitions in palaeoclimate. Overall, the presented study underlines the potentials of nonlinear time series analysis approaches to provide complementary information on dynamical regime shifts in palaeoclimate and their driving processes that cannot be revealed by linear statistics or eyeball inspection of the data alone.

Reconstructing Network Dynamics of Coupled Discrete Chaotic Units from Data
(Amer Physical Soc, 2023) Eroğlu, Deniz; Eroglu, Deniz
Reconstructing network dynamics from data is crucial for predicting the changes in the dynamics of complex systems such as neuron networks; however, previous research has shown that the reconstruction is possible under strong constraints such as the need for lengthy data or small system size. Here, we present a recovery scheme blending theoretical model reduction and sparse recovery to identify the governing equations and the interactions of weakly coupled chaotic maps on complex networks, easing unrealistic constraints for real-world applications. Learning dynamics and connectivity lead to detecting critical transitions for parameter changes. We apply our technique to realistic neuronal systems with and without noise on a real mouse neocortex and artificial networks.

Sampling rate-corrected analysis of irregularly sampled time series
(Amer Physical Soc, 2022) Eroğlu, Deniz; Fernandez, Cinthya N.; Eroglu, Deniz; Hartland, Adam; Breitenbach, Sebastian F. M.; Marwan, Norbert
The analysis of irregularly sampled time series remains a challenging task requiring methods that account for continuous and abrupt changes of sampling resolution without introducing additional biases. The edit distance is an effective metric to quantitatively compare time series segments of unequal length by computing the cost of transforming one segment into the other. We show that transformation costs generally exhibit a nontrivial relationship with local sampling rate. If the sampling resolution undergoes strong variations, this effect impedes unbiased comparison between different time episodes. We study the impact of this effect on recurrence quantification analysis, a framework that is well suited for identifying regime shifts in nonlinear time series. A constrained randomization approach is put forward to correct for the biased recurrence quantification measures. This strategy involves the generation of a type of time series and time axis surrogates which we call sampling-rate-constrained (SRC) surrogates. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach with a synthetic example and an irregularly sampled speleothem proxy record from Niue island in the central tropical Pacific. Application of the proposed correction scheme identifies a spurious transition that is solely imposed by an abrupt shift in sampling rate and uncovers periods of reduced seasonal rainfall predictability associated with enhanced El Nino-Southern Oscillation and tropical cyclone activity.

Transformation cost spectrum for irregularly sampled time series
(Springer Heidelberg, 2023) Eroğlu, Deniz; Eroglu, Deniz
Irregularly sampled time series analysis is a common problem in various disciplines. Since conventional methods are not directly applicable to irregularly sampled time series, a common interpolation approach is used; however, this causes data distortion and consequently biases further analyses. We propose a method that yields a regularly sampled time series spectrum of costs with minimum information loss. Each time series in this spectrum is a stationary series and acts as a difference filter. The transformation costs approach derives the differences between consecutive and arbitrarily sized segments. After obtaining regular sampling, recurrence plot analysis is performed to distinguish regime transitions. The approach is applied to a prototypical model to validate its performance and to different palaeoclimate proxy data sets located around Africa to identify critical climate transition periods during the last 5 million years and their characteristic properties.
