Networks composed of vertices (or nodes) and edges (or links)
provide a general framework for the representation
of many different systems. First,
any system with a discrete state space can be viewed
as a network, in which the vertices represent the different states of the system
and the edges correspond to possible transitions between these states.
One example is provided by
network representations of
molecular motors.
[1]
[2]
Second, composite systems that consist of
many different but similiar components can also be viewed as networks,
in which the vertices represent the different components and the edges correspond to
"interactions" between these components.
In general, the different components of the system can attain several internal
states that evolve with time. The simplest case is provided by binary variables that
can be active or inactive.
[3]
[4]
At any given time, the state of the composite system is then characterized by an
activity pattern of the network, and the system's dynamics is described by the
time evolution of this pattern. Depending on the inital pattern, the system will reach one
of the dynamical attractors that govern the system's long-time behavior.
