Network dynamics

<p>Network dynamics is a research field for the study of <a href="/facts/Network_theory/m6CQovwm">networks</a> whose status changes in time. The dynamics may refer to the structure of connections of the units of a network, to the collective internal state of the network,  or both. The networked systems could be from the fields of <a href="/facts/Biology/1M1ee3pB">biology</a>, <a href="/facts/Chemistry/SrNqkGVm">chemistry</a>, <a href="/facts/Physics/a7aH2y08">physics</a>, <a href="/facts/Sociology/d2Fd0N87">sociology</a>, <a href="/facts/Economics/HYctA2Dn">economics</a>, <a href="/facts/Computer_science/lN3pEyPz">computer science</a>, etc. Networked systems are typically characterized as <a href="/facts/Complex_systems/eGG3B1nn">complex systems</a> consisting of many units coupled by specific, potentially changing, interaction topologies.
