Controlling Complex Networks with Complex Nodes"

Controlling complex networks with complex nodes is the title of the article published in the prestigious international journal Nature Reviews Physics, written by Mario di Bernardo of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies of the University of Naples Federico II and coordinator of the PhD in Modeling and Engineering Risk and Complexity from Southern High School with Raissa D'Souza of the University of California at Davis, and Yang-Lu Liu of Harvard.

The work examines how to control and manage systems and infrastructures in applications often made up of millions of heterogeneous elements that interact on multiple temporal and spatial scales. The fields of statistical physics and control theory both contribute different perspectives for understanding, modeling, and controlling these systems. To address ever more advanced applications, the authors propose that ever-increasing interaction between these fields and the integration of new physics and engineering paradigms will be required.

The article represents an important contribution to the understanding and control of complex real systems from cell populations to neural networks, from fleets of autonomous vehicles to flocks of drones. The research carried out by the three authors represents an important step forward in the understanding of complex systems, a topic of great interest and importance in many scientific disciplines and technological applications.
