Feedback control actively dissipates uncertainty from a dynamical system by means of actuation. We develop a notion of "control capacity" that gives a fundamental limit (in bits) on the rate at which a controller can dissipate the…

Identifying the generating mechanism of a network is challenging as, more often than not, only snapshots are available, but not the full evolution. One candidate for the generating mechanism is preferential attachment which, in its simplest…

Recent works show conflicting results: network capacity may increase or decrease with higher transmission power under different scenarios. In this work, we want to understand this paradox. Specifically, we address the following questions:…
