Xue D. Distributed Algorithm Analysis and Topology Design in Coevolutionary Networks

Technical University of Munich, 2018. — 150 p.Motivated by the advances in communication and computation technologies, the present thesis addresses research questions related to distributed algorithm analysis and topology design in network dynamical systems. The focus is on opinion dynamics over cooperative-competitive social networks and on topology manipulation in large-scale complex networks. The coevolutionary property between the states of dynamical processes over networks and the topology of interactions is highlighted.
