  text: We provide a method to systematically construct vector fields for which the
    dynamics display transitions corresponding to a desired hierarchical connection
    structure. This structure is given as a finite set of directed graphs $\mathbf{G}_1,\dotsc,\mathbf{G}_N$
    (the lower level), together with another digraph $\mathbfΓ$ on $N$ vertices (the
    top level). The dynamic realizations of $\mathbf{G}_1,\dotsc,\mathbf{G}_N$ are
    heteroclinic networks and they can be thought of as individual connection patterns
    on a given set of states. Edges in $\mathbfΓ$ correspond to transitions between
    these different patterns. In our construction, the connections given through $\mathbfΓ$
    are not heteroclinic, but excitable with zero threshold. This describes a dynamical
    transition between two invariant sets where every $δ$-neighborhood of the first
    set contains an initial condition with $ω$-limit in the second set. Thus, we prove
    a theorem that allows the systematic creation of hierarchical networks that are
    excitable on the top level, and heteroclinic on the lower level. Our results modify
    and extend the simplex realization method by Ashwin & Postlethwaite.

  text: We investigate homogeneous coupled cell systems with high-dimensional internal
    dynamics. In many studies on network dynamics, the analysis is restricted to networks
    with one-dimensional internal dynamics. Here, we show how symmetry explains the
    relation between dynamical behavior of systems with one-dimensional internal dynamics
    and with higher dimensional internal dynamics, when the underlying network topology
    is the same. Fundamental networks of homogeneous coupled cell systems (B. Rink,
    J. Sanders. Coupled Cell Networks and Their Hidden Symmetries. SIAM J. Math. Anal.
    46.2 (2014)) can be expressed in terms of monoid representations, which uniquely
    decompose into indecomposable subrepresentations. In the high-dimensional internal
    dynamics case, these subrepresentations are isomorphic to multiple copies of those
    one computes in the one-dimensional internal dynamics case. This has interesting
    implications for possible center subspaces in bifurcation analysis. We describe
    the effect on steady state and Hopf bifurcations in l-parameter families of network
    vector fields. The main results in that regard are that (1) generic one-parameter
    steady state bifurcations are qualitatively independent of the dimension of the
    internal dynamics and that, (2) in order to observe all generic l-parameter bifurcations
    that may occur for internal dynamics of any dimension, the internal dynamics has
    to be at least l-dimensional for steady state bifurcations and 2l-dimensional
    for Hopf bifurcations. Furthermore, we illustrate how additional structure in
    the network can be exploited to obtain even greater understanding of bifurcation
    scenarios in the high-dimensional case beyond qualitative statements about the
    collective dynamics. One-parameter steady state bifurcations in feedforward networks
    exhibit an unusual amplification in the asymptotic growth rates of individual
    cells, when these are one-dimensional (S. von der Gracht, E. Nijholt, B. Rink.
    Amplified steady state bifurcations in feedforward networks. Nonlinearity 35.4
    (2022)). As another main result, we prove that (3) the same cells exhibit this
    amplifying effect with the same growth rates when the internal dynamics is high-dimensional.

  text: "In the general pattern formation (GPF) problem, a swarm of simple autonomous,\r\ndisoriented
    robots must form a given pattern. The robots' simplicity imply a\r\nstrong limitation:
    When the initial configuration is rotationally symmetric,\r\nonly patterns with
    a similar symmetry can be formed [Yamashita, Suzyuki; TCS\r\n2010]. The only known
    algorithm to form large patterns with limited visibility\r\nand without memory
    requires the robots to start in a near-gathering (a swarm of\r\nconstant diameter)
    [Hahn et al.; SAND 2024]. However, not only do we not know\r\nany near-gathering
    algorithm guaranteed to preserve symmetry but most natural\r\ngathering strategies
    trivially increase symmetries [Castenow et al.; OPODIS\r\n2022].\r\n  Thus, we
    study near-gathering without changing the swarm's rotational\r\nsymmetry for disoriented,
    oblivious robots with limited visibility (the\r\nOBLOT-model, see [Flocchini et
    al.; 2019]). We introduce a technique based on\r\nthe theory of dynamical systems
    to analyze how a given algorithm affects\r\nsymmetry and provide sufficient conditions
    for symmetry preservation. Until\r\nnow, it was unknown whether the considered
    OBLOT-model allows for any\r\nnon-trivial algorithm that always preserves symmetry.
    Our first result shows\r\nthat a variant of Go-to-the-Average always preserves
    symmetry but may sometimes\r\nlead to multiple, unconnected near-gathering clusters.
    Our second result is a\r\nsymmetry-preserving near-gathering algorithm that works
    on swarms with a convex\r\nboundary (the outer boundary of the unit disc graph)
    and without holes (circles\r\nof diameter 1 inside the boundary without any robots)."

  text: In this article, we investigate symmetry properties of distributed systems
    of mobile robots. We consider a swarm of n robots in the OBLOT model and analyze
    their collective Fsync dynamics using of equivariant dynamical systems theory.
    To this end, we show that the corresponding evolution function commutes with rotational
    and reflective transformations of R^2. These form a group that is isomorphic to
    O(2) x S_n, the product group of the orthogonal group and the permutation on n
    elements. The theory of equivariant dynamical systems is used to deduce a hierarchy
    along which symmetries of a robot swarm can potentially increase following an
    arbitrary protocol. By decoupling the Look phase from the Compute and Move phases
    in the mathematical description of an LCM cycle, this hierarchy can be characterized
    in terms of automorphisms of connectivity graphs. In particular, we find all possible
    types of symmetry increase, if the decoupled Compute and Move phase is invertible.
    Finally, we apply our results to protocols which induce state-dependent linear
    dynamics, where the reduced system consisting of only the Compute and Move phase
    is linear.

  text: Heteroclinic structures organize global features of dynamical systems. We
    analyse whether heteroclinic structures can arise in network dynamics with higher-order
    interactions which describe the nonlinear interactions between three or more units.
    We find that while commonly analysed model equations such as network dynamics
    on undirected hypergraphs may be useful to describe local dynamics such as cluster
    synchronization, they give rise to obstructions that allow to design of heteroclinic
    structures in phase space. By contrast, directed hypergraphs break the homogeneity
    and lead to vector fields that support heteroclinic structures.

  text: To model dynamical systems on networks with higher-order (non-pairwise) interactions,
    we recently introduced a new class of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) on
    hypernetworks. Here, we consider one-parameter synchrony breaking bifurcations
    in such ODEs. We call a synchrony breaking steady-state branch ‘reluctant’ if
    it is tangent to a synchrony space, but does not lie inside it. We prove that
    reluctant synchrony breaking is ubiquitous in hypernetwork systems, by constructing
    a large class of examples that support it. We also give an explicit formula for
    the order of tangency to the synchrony space of a reluctant steady-state branch.

  text: Many networked systems are governed by non-pairwise interactions between nodes.
    The resulting higher-order interaction structure can then be encoded by means
    of a hypernetwork. In this paper we consider dynamical systems on hypernetworks
    by defining a class of admissible maps for every such hypernetwork. We explain
    how to classify robust cluster synchronization patterns on hypernetworks by finding
    balanced partitions, and we generalize the concept of a graph fibration to the
    hypernetwork context. We also show that robust synchronization patterns are only
    fully determined by polynomial admissible maps of high order. This means that,
    unlike in dyadic networks, cluster synchronization on hypernetworks is a higher-order,
    i.e., nonlinear, effect. We give a formula, in terms of the order of the hypernetwork,
    for the degree of the polynomial admissible maps that determine robust synchronization
    patterns. We also demonstrate that this degree is optimal by investigating a class
    of examples. We conclude by demonstrating how this effect may cause remarkable
    synchrony breaking bifurcations that occur at high polynomial degree.

  text: "We present a novel method for high-order phase reduction in networks of\r\nweakly
    coupled oscillators and, more generally, perturbations of reducible\r\nnormally
    hyperbolic (quasi-)periodic tori. Our method works by computing an\r\nasymptotic
    expansion for an embedding of the perturbed invariant torus, as well\r\nas for
    the reduced phase dynamics in local coordinates. Both can be determined\r\nto
    arbitrary degrees of accuracy, and we show that the phase dynamics may\r\ndirectly
    be obtained in normal form. We apply the method to predict remote\r\nsynchronisation
    in a chain of coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators."

  text: We investigate bifurcations in feedforward coupled cell networks. Feedforward
    structure (the absence of feedback) can be defined by a partial order on the cells.
    We use this property to study generic one-parameter steady state bifurcations
    for such networks. Branching solutions and their asymptotics are described in
    terms of Taylor coefficients of the internal dynamics. They can be determined
    via an algorithm that only exploits the network structure. Similar to previous
    results on feedforward chains, we observe amplifications of the growth rates of
    steady state branches induced by the feedforward structure. However, contrary
    to these earlier results, as the interaction scenarios can be more complicated
    in general feedforward networks, different branching patterns and different amplifications
    can occur for different regions in the space of Taylor coefficients.

  text: "Dieses Lernangebot widmet sich der linearen Algebra als dem Teil der Mathematik,
    der neben der Optimierung und der Stochastik die Grundlage für praktisch alle
    Entwicklungen im Bereich Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) darstellt. Das Fach ist jedoch
    für Anfänger meist ungewohnt abstrakt und wird daher oft als besonders schwierig
    und unanschaulich empfunden. In diesem Kurs wird das Erlernen mathematischer Kenntnisse
    in linearer Algebra verknüpft mit dem aktuellen und faszinierenden Anwendungsfeld
    der künstlichen neuronalen Netze (KNN). Daraus ergeben sich in natürlicher Weise
    Anwendungsbeispiele, an denen die wesentlichen Konzepte der linearen Algebra erklärt
    werden können.\r\n\r\nBehandelte Themen sind:\r\n\r\n    Der Vektorraum der reellen
    Zahlentupel, reelle Vektorräume allgemein\r\n    Lineare Abbildungen\r\n    Matrizen\r\n
    \   Koordinaten und darstellende Matrizen\r\n    Lineare Gleichungssysteme, Gaußalgorithmus\r\n
    \   Determinante\r\n    Ein Ausblick auf nichtlineare Techniken, die für neuronale
    Netzwerke relevant sind."

  text: The authors of Berg et al. [J. Algebra 348 (2011) 446–461] provide an algorithm
    for finding a complete system of primitive orthogonal idempotents for CM, where
    M is any finite R-trivial monoid. Their method relies on a technical result stating
    that R-trivial monoid are equivalent to so-called weakly ordered monoids. We provide
    an alternative algorithm, based only on the simple observation that an R-trivial
    monoid may be realized by upper triangular matrices. This approach is inspired
    by results in the field of coupled cell network dynamical systems, where L-trivial
    monoids (the opposite notion) correspond to so-called feed-forward networks. We
    first show that our algorithm works for ZM, after which we prove that it also
    works for RM where R is an arbitrary ring with a known complete system of primitive
    orthogonal idempotents. In particular, our algorithm works if R is any field.
    In this respect our result constitutes a considerable generalization of the results
    in Berg et al. [J. Algebra 348 (2011) 446–461]. Moreover, the system of idempotents
    for RM is obtained from the one our algorithm yields for ZM in a straightforward
    manner. In other words, for any finite R-trivial monoid M our algorithm only has
    to be performed for ZM, after which a system of idempotents follows for any ring
    with a given system of idempotents.

  text: Dynamical systems often admit geometric properties that must be taken into
    account when studying their behavior. We show that many such properties can be
    encoded by means of quiver representations. These properties include classical
    symmetry, hidden symmetry, and feedforward structure, as well as subnetwork and
    quotient relations in network dynamical systems. A quiver equivariant dynamical
    system consists of a collection of dynamical systems with maps between them that
    send solutions to solutions. We prove that such quiver structures are preserved
    under Lyapunov--Schmidt reduction, center manifold reduction, and normal form
    reduction.

  text: "This thesis deals with the investigation of dynamical properties – in particular
    generic synchrony breaking bifurcations – that are inherent to the structure of
    a semigroup network as well the numerous algebraic structures that are related
    to these types of networks. Most notably we investigate the interplay between
    network dynamics and monoid representation theory as induced by the fundamental
    network construction in terms of hidden symmetry as introduced by RINK and SANDERS.\r\n\r\nAfter
    providing a brief survey of the field of network dynamics in Part I, we thoroughly
    introduce the formalism of semigroup networks, the customized dynamical systems
    theory, and the necessary background from monoid representation theory in Chapters
    3 and 4. The remainder of Part II investigates generic synchrony breaking bifurcations
    and contains three major results. The first is Theorem 5.11, which shows that
    generic symmetry breaking steady state bifurcations in monoid equivariant dynamics
    occur along absolutely indecomposable subrepresentations – a natural generalization
    of the corresponding statement for group equivariant dynamics. Then Theorem 7.12
    relates the decomposition of a representation given by a network with high-dimensional
    internal phase spaces to that induced by the same network with one-dimensional
    internal phase spaces. This result is used to show that there is a smallest dimension
    of internal dynamics in which all generic l-parameter bifurcations of a fundamental
    network can be observed (Theorem 7.24).\r\n\r\nIn Part III, we employ the machinery
    that was summarized and further developed in Part II to feedforward networks.
    We propose a general definition of this structural feature of a network and show
    that it can equivalently be characterized in different algebraic notions in Theorem
    8.35. These are then exploited to fully classify the corresponding monoid representation
    for any feedforward network and to classify generic synchrony breaking steady
    state bifurcations with one- or highdimensional internal dynamics."

  text: We prove that steady state bifurcations in finite-dimensional dynamical systems
    that are symmetric with respect to a monoid representation generically occur along
    an absolutely indecomposable subrepresentation. This is stated as a conjecture
    in [B. Rink and J. Sanders, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 46 (2014), pp. 1577--1609]. It
    is a generalization of the well-known fact that generic steady state bifurcations
    in equivariant dynamical systems occur along an absolutely irreducible subrepresentation
    if the symmetries form a group---finite or compact Lie. Our generalization also
    includes noncompact symmetry groups. The result has applications in bifurcation
    theory of homogeneous coupled cell networks as they can be embedded (under mild
    additional assumptions) into monoid equivariant systems.

  text: In this paper we continue the study of group representations which are counterexamples
    to the Ize conjecture. As in previous papers we find new infinite series of finite
    groups leading to such counterexamples. These new series are quite different from
    the previous ones, for example the group orders do not form an arithmetic progression.
    However, as before we find Lie groups which contain all these groups. This additional
    structure was observed, but not used in the previous studies of this problem.
    Here we also investigate the related bifurcations. To a large extent, these are
    closely related to the presence of mentioned compact Lie group containing the
    finite groups. This might give a tool to study the bifurcations related to all
    low dimensional counterexamples of the Ize conjecture. It also gives an indication
    of where we can expect to find examples where the bifurcation behaviour is different
    from what we have seen in the known examples.
