Motivated by the impact of synchronization results of the Kuramoto networks, we introduce the generalized class of Laplacian networks, governed by mappings whose Jacobian at any point is a symmetric matrix with row entries summing to zero. By recognizing this matrix with a weighted Laplacian of the associated graph, we derive the optimal estimates of its positive, null and negative eigenvalues directly from the graph topology. Furthermore, we provide a characterization of the mappings that define Laplacian networks. Lastly, we discuss stability of equilibria inside synchrony subspaces for two types of Laplacian network on a ring with some extra couplings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-17T16:49:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34C15", "37G40", "82B20", "34D06" ], "keywords": [ "synchrony patterns", "vertices represent individual cells", "equilibria inside synchrony subspaces", "edges represent couplings", "define laplacian networks" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
