1 A social networks synchronization DYNAMICAL NETWORKS: structural analysis and synthesis traffic management B C (bio)chemical processes water distribution networks biological systems, ecosystems production and distribution systems telecommunication / data communication networks PhD student: Giulia Giordano Supervisor: Prof. Franco Blanchini

2 A social networks biological systems, ecosystems 4 C 2 5 synchronization B (bio)chemical processes water distribution networks 1 production and distribution systems 3 traffic management Dynamical network: subsystems (each with its own dynamics) interconnected by "flows" / interactions telecommunication / data communication networks (hyper-)graph representation: nodes subsystems arcs flows

3 Compartmental systems... - positive systems - mass conservation constraints - flow: interaction between two compartments graph representation: nodes compartments arcs flows...generalised hyper-graph: flows can require interactions among more than two compartments

4 A twofold goal Structural Analysis Structural Control Synthesis - independent of parameters - based on the nature of interactions (graph topology) - explain robustness and characteristic behaviours - interactions decided based on local information (decentralized) - control / coordinate global system behaviour...especially meant for... biologically-inspired design: learn from nature Man-made Systems Natural Systems synthetic biology: engineer natural systems Applications to biochemical systems Network-decentralized control

5 Structural Analysis Applications to biochemical systems Structural Control Synthesis

6 Biological systems are extremely robust: fundamental properties are preserved despite huge uncertainties and parameter variations STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS explain behaviours based on the system inherent structure (...motifs...) structure graph Structural property: satisfied by all the systems of a family specified by a structure without numerical bounds

7 Numerical tests based on polyhedral Lyapunov functions to structurally assess stability boundedness Yes Yes No No F. Blanchini, G. Giordano, Piecewise-linear Lyapunov functions for structural stability of biochemical networks, Automatica

8 Structural graph-based classification of oscillatory/multistationary behaviours Candidate oscillator Candidate multistable F. Blanchini, E. Franco, G. Giordano, A structural classification of candidate oscillators and multistationary systems, Bull. Math. Biol.

9 Similar results hold for the interconnection of structurally stable monotone subsystems + SSMS SSMS + SSMS + SSMS Candidate oscillator SSMS SSMS Candidate multistable F. Blanchini, E. Franco, G. Giordano, Structural conditions for oscillations and multistationarity in aggregate monotone systems, submitted

10 Synthesis of biomolecular oscillators z1, z2, x3 z1 x1 x1, x2, z3 Negative feedback of two monotone subsystems r2, e1, q1 e1 e2 r1, e2, qz23 F. Blanchini, C. Cuba Samaniego, E. Franco, G. Giordano, Design of a molecular clock with RNA mediated regulation, IEEE CDC 2014

11 Structural steady-state analysis Output variation (at steady state) Input variation Increase Perfect adaptation Decrease Depends on parameters G. Giordano, C. Cuba Samaniego, E. Franco, F. Blanchini, Computing the Structural Influence Matrix for Biological Systems, submitted

12 Structural steady-state analysis Influence matrix: structural steady-state variation of variable i due to a persistent additive input applied to variable j Network from Shinar&Feinberg (2010) G. Giordano, C. Cuba Samaniego, E. Franco, F. Blanchini, Computing the Structural Influence Matrix for Biological Systems, submitted

13 Structural Analysis Structural Control Synthesis Network-decentralized control

14 subsystems huge number of subsystems control agents

15 Control strategy decided locally, to govern the dynamics of the whole system The feedback matrix has a structure given by the graph F. Blanchini, E. Franco, G. Giordano, Structured LMI Conditions for Stabilizing Network Decentralized Control, IEEE CDC13; Network-Decentralized Control Strategies for Stabilization, IEEE Trans. Autom. Contr.

16 Node traffic splitting Internal node dynamics: stochastic Markov matrix Network-decentralized control: - robust (independent of Markov coefficients) - optimal: minimum norm (fairness) F. Blanchini, G. Giordano, P. L. Montessoro, Network decentralized robust congestion control with node traffic splitting, IEEE CDC 2014
