Title: Finding the roles of time delays and randomness

Speaker:   Wei Lin, School of Mathematical Sciences and ISTBI, Fudan University

Abstract: Time delays and randomness are omnipresently observed in many nature and artificial systems.  Naturally, two kinds of questions arise: “How to identify the time delays when a certain amount of datasets are obtained from the experiments or real-world systems?” and “How to characterize the intrinsic roles of time delays and randomness that are played in coupled network systems?”  In this talk, we introduce recent works that address the previous two questions, and show the significance of time delays as well as randomness in dealing with various systems of physical or/and biological significance.
