Abstract

In a previous work, Villani et al. introduced a method to identify candidate emergent dynamical structures in complex systems. Such a method detects subsets (clusters) of the system elements which behave in a coherent and coordinated way while loosely interacting with the remainder of the system. Such clusters are assessed in terms of an index that can be associated to each subset, called Dynamical Cluster Index (DCI). When large systems are analyzed, the “curse of dimensionality” makes it impossible to compute the DCI for every possible cluster, even using massively parallel hardware such as GPUs.
In this paper, we propose an efficient metaheuristic for searching relevant dynamical structures, which hybridizes an evolutionary algorithm with local search and obtains results comparable to an exhaustive search in a much shorter time. The effectiveness of the method we propose has been evaluated on a set of Boolean models of real-world systems.
