The asymptotic behavior of dissipative evolution problems, determined by complex networks of reaction-diffusion systems, is investigated with an original approach. We establish a novel estimation of the fractal dimension of exponential attractors for a wide class of continuous dynamical systems, clarifying the effect of the topology of the network on the large time dynamics of the generated semi-flow. We explore various remarkable topologies (chains, cycles, star and complete graphs) and discover that the size of the network does not necessarily enlarge the dimension of attractors. Additionally, we prove a synchronization theorem in the case of symmetric topologies. We apply our method to a complex network of competing species systems modeling an heterogeneous biological ecosystem and propose a series of numerical simulations which underpin our theoretical statements.

Numerical simulation of a complex network of competing species models in absence of coupling, showing the densities $u_1$, $u_2$, $u_3$ and $u_4$ for three different times (similar computations would show the densities $v_1$, $v_2$, $v_3$ and $v_4$): $u_1$ persists on vertex $(1)$, whereas $u_2$ vanishes on vertex $(2)$; in parallel, $u_3$ and $v_3$ coexist on vertex $(3)$, and similarly, $u_4$ and $v_4$ coexist on vertex $(4)$
Numerical simulation of a complex network of competing species models, built on an oriented chain: the domination of $u_1$ on vertex $(1)$ is attenuated; $u_2$ seems to persist on vertex $(2)$, whereas $u_2$ vanishes in absence of coupling; $u_3$ dominates on vertex $(3)$, whereas $u_3$ and $v_3$ coexist in absence of coupling; $u_4$ and $v_4$ still coexist
Numerical simulation of a complex network of competing species models, built on a star oriented from center toward periphery: the asymptotic dynamics are modified; in particular, $u_2$ persists on vertex $(2)$, whereas $u_2$ vanishes in absence of coupling
Numerical simulation of a complex network of competing species models, built on a bi-directed complete graph topology. After a brief transitional phase, synchronization of the four vertices occurs rapidly, which illustrates Theorem 4.2
