We address the problem of mitigating damage to a power grid following a storm by managing a vehicle that has to be routed while simultaneously performing two tasks: learning about damage from the grid (which requires direct observation) and…
Cascading failure models are typically used to capture the phenomenon where failures possibly trigger further failures in succession, causing knock-on effects. In many networks this ultimately leads to a disintegrated network where the…
