Enumerating ODE Equivalent Homogeneous Networks

Abstract

We give an simple criterion for ODE equivalence in identical edge homogeneous coupled cell networks. This allows us to give a simple proof of Theorem 10.3 of Aquiar and Dias "Minimal Coupled Cell Networks", which characterizes minimal identical edge homogeneous coupled cell networks. Using our criterion we give a formula for counting homogeneous coupled cell networks up to ODE equivalence. Our criterion is purely graph theoretic and makes no explicit use of linear algebra.
