Abstract

This paper addresses the need of predicting system instability toward critical transitions occurred in complex systems. A novel information dynamic spectrum framework and a method for automated prediction of system trajectories are proposed. Our framework goes beyond unidirectional diffusion dynamics to investigate heterogeneously networked dynamical systems with transient directional influence dynamics. Our method automatically analyzes the input time series of system instability to predict the instability trajectories toward critical transitions.
