Events in MathSys and Complexity Science
This is a calendar page detailing events within the MathSys CDT. It also acts as a booking diary for the Seminar Room D1.07. To book D1.07 please email Sheetal.Sharma@warwick.ac.uk
Please note that your event booking is for D1.07 only. The adjacent common room is a private area for the MathSys Centre that cannot used as part of your booking.
MathSys CDT events have priority for D1.07 room bookings.

Complexity Forum: Maximilien Gadouleau (Durham)
An introduction to the theory of Finite Dynamical Systems
We are interested in complex networks of interacting entities (such as genes, neurons, persons, computers, etc.), where each entity has a finitely valued state and a function which updates the value of the state. Since entities influence each other, this local update function depends on the states of some of the entities. Such a network is called a Finite Dynamical System (FDS). The main problem when studying an FDS is to determine its dynamics given a limited knowledge of it; for instance, we may only know the interaction graph, i.e. which entities influence each other. In this talk, we will review some of the seminal results in the theory of FDSs and focus on the maximisation of images and periodic points for a given interaction graph.
