Coupled cell networks

Summary

Even if individual cells behave in relatively simple ways, large networks of coupled cells can exhibit surprising and complex behaviour. Indeed, one of the next big challenges in the field of nonlinear dynamics is how to understand the dynamics of large coupled cell networks. This minisymposium will focus on recent theoretical and computational developments.

Organiser: Alastair Rucklidge, University of Leeds, UK
