Abstract-We investigate how a single node injecting noise in a quorum-sensing network can dramatically affect its convergence towards synchronization. We show that adding some white noise of sufficiently high intensity on a single node can stabilize the collective behavior of all nodes in the network towards the origin. A sketch of the proof of the convergence result is given, together with the outcome of some numerical experiments on the challenging problem of stabilizing a network of bistable systems onto a common unstable equilibrium point.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
