Consider a network of $n$ single-server queues where tasks arrive independently at each server at rate $\lambda_n$. The servers are connected by a graph that is resampled at rate $\mu_n$ in a way that is symmetric with respect to the…

We propose a new paradigm to design a network-based self-adaptive epidemic model that relies on the interplay between the network and its line graph. We implement this proposal on a Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible model in which both nodes…

In this paper, we propose a novel approach that employs kinetic equations to describe the collective dynamics emerging from graph-mediated pairwise interactions in multi-agent systems. We formally show that for large graphs and specific…

The mean-field dynamics of a particle in a random, but short range correlated potential, offers the opportunity of observing both aging and driven stationary regimes. Using a geometrical approach previously introduced by the author, we…

Models of opinion dynamics aim to capture how individuals' opinions change when they interact with each other. One well-known model of opinion dynamics is the Deffuant--Weisbuch (DW) model, which is a type of bounded-confidence model (BCM).…

The analysis of large-scale, parallel-server load balancing systems has relied heavily on mean-field analysis. A pivotal assumption for this framework is that the servers are exchangeable. However, modern data-centers have data locality…
