On discrete-time polynomial dynamical systems on hypergraphs
This paper studies the stability of discrete-time polynomial dynamical systems on hypergraphs by utilizing the Perron-Frobenius theorem for nonnegative tensors with respect to the tensors' Z-eigenvalues and Z-eigenvectors. First of all, for a multilinear polynomial system on a uniform hypergraph, we study the stability of the origin of the corresponding systems. Afterward, we extend our results to non-homogeneous polynomial systems on non-uniform hypergraphs. We confirm that the local stability of any discrete-time polynomial system is in general dominated by pairwise terms. In particular, given the origin is locally stable, we construct a conservative (but explicit) region of attraction from the system parameters. Finally, we validate our results via some numerical examples.
