"Recently, numerous researchers have turned their attention to the dynamical behaviors of complex dynamical networks (CDNs) including the synchronization, stability, and passivity. However, most of existing results on dynamical behaviors are all based on network models with single weight. It is well known that many real-world networks should be described by CDNs with multiweights, such as public traffic roads networks, social networks, inter-city population flow networks, and so on. Therefore, it is meaningful to further study the dynamical behaviors for multiweighted CDNs (MWCDNs). The purpose of this book is to introduce recent research work on analysis and control of dynamical behaviors for MWCDNs."--

An authentic respect and embracing of diversity begin in the heart. It's something we as leaders strive to have not just to check the box but also because we want our companies and communities to accurately reflect the mosaic that is America." -- Dr. Jeanne Porter King, Minister, Author, Leadership Expert, President of TransPorter Group Inc. "Whether you are leading others in the workplace or you're a teacher purposed with engaging future leaders in pertinent conversations about the ongoing issues around diversity--what's working, what's not working, and what seems irrevocably broken--add this book to your repertoire. It is an engaging, thought-provoking read filled with current stats, real-life situations, and personal experiences showing why learning to be comfortable in a global family is important." -- Andrew Young, Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Activist, Civil Servant "Diversity Done Right, which is so needed for our times, stresses that true diversity goes way beyond affirmative action.
