Stability and steady state of complex cooperative systems: a diakoptic approach

Stability and steady state of complex cooperative systems: a diakoptic approach
Stability and steady state of complex cooperative systems: a diakoptic approach
Cooperative dynamics are common in ecology, population dynamics and in generalised compartment models. However, their commonly high degree of complexity with a large number of coupled degrees of freedom makes them difficult to analyse. Here we present a graphical criterion, via a diakoptic approach ("divide-and-conquer") to determine a cooperative system's stability by decomposing the system's interaction graph into its strongly connected components (SCCs). In particular, we show that a linear cooperative system is Lyapunov stable if the SCCs of the associated dependence graph all have non-positive dominant eigenvalues, and if any two SCCs which have dominant eigenvalue zero are not connected by any path.

Abstract

Cooperative dynamics are common in ecology, population dynamics and in generalised compartment models. However, their commonly high degree of complexity with a large number of coupled degrees of freedom makes them difficult to analyse. Here we present a graphical criterion, via a diakoptic approach ("divide-and-conquer") to determine a cooperative system's stability by decomposing the system's interaction graph into its strongly connected components (SCCs). In particular, we show that a linear cooperative system is Lyapunov stable if the SCCs of the associated dependence graph all have non-positive dominant eigenvalues, and if any two SCCs which have dominant eigenvalue zero are not connected by any path.
