Emergence of (bi)multi-partiteness in networks having inhibitory and excitatory couplings

Abstract: (Bi)multi-partite interaction patterns are commonly observed in real world systems which have inhibitory and excitatory couplings. We hypothesize these structural interaction pattern to be stable and naturally arising in the course of evolution. We demonstrate that a random structure evolves to the (bi)multi-partite structure by imposing stability criterion through minimization of the largest eigenvalue in the genetic algorithm devised on the interacting units having inhibitory and excitatory couplings. The evolved interaction patterns are robust against changes in the initial network architecture as well as fluctuations in the interaction weights.
