Network flows often exhibit a hierarchical tree-like structure that can be attributed to the minimisation of dissipation. The common feature of such systems is a single source and multiple sinks (or vice versa). In contrast, here we study…
The discrepancy between the upper bound on throughput in wireless networks and the throughput scaling in random networks which is also known as the connectivity-throughput trade-off is analyzed. In a random network with $\lambda$ nodes per…
A new minimal coupling method is introduced. A general dissipative quantum system is investigated consistently and systematically. Some coupling functions describing the interaction between the system and the environment are introduced.…

It has recently been shown that the expected energy requirements of a control action applied to a complex network scales exponentially with the number of nodes that are targeted. While the exponential scaling law provides an adequate…
Average trapping time (ATT) is central in the trapping problem since it is a key indicator characterizing the efficiency of the problem. Previous research has provided the scaling of a lower bound of the ATT for random walks in general…
Most complex networks serve as conduits for various dynamical processes, ranging from mass transfer by chemical reactions in the cell to packet transfer on the Internet. We collected data on the time dependent activity of five natural and…
An important source of high clustering coefficient in real-world networks is transitivity. However, existing approaches for modeling transitivity suffer from at least one of the following problems: i) they produce graphs from a specific…
In decentralized optimization, nodes cooperate to minimize an overall objective function that is the sum (or average) of per-node private objective functions. Algorithms interleave local computations with communication among all or a subset…
We study a minimal model of traffic flows in complex networks, simple enough to get analytical results, but with a very rich phenomenology, presenting continuous, discontinuous as well as hybrid phase transitions between a free-flow phase…
Cosmic string networks are the best motivated relics of cosmological phase transitions, being unavoidable in many physically plausible extensions of the Standard Model. Most studies, including those providing constraints from and forecasts…
Existing cellular network analyses, and even simulations, typically use the standard path loss model where received power decays like $\|x\|^{-\alpha}$ over a distance $\|x\|$. This standard path loss model is quite idealized, and in most…
This work clarifies the relation between network circuit (topology) and behavior (information transmission and synchronization) in active networks, e.g. neural networks. As an application, we show how to determine a network topology that is…
The knowledge of the topology of a wired network is often of fundamental importance. For instance, in the context of Power Line Communications (PLC) networks it is helpful to implement data routing strategies, while in power distribution…
In this paper, we propose and test an intuitive assumption that the pressure field in single conduits and networks of interconnected conduits adjusts itself to minimize the total energy consumption required for transporting a specific…
The topology of the network of load transmitting connections plays an essential role in the cascading failure dynamics of complex systems driven by the redistribution of load after local breakdown events. In particular, as the network…
It was hypothesized that the structures of biological transport networks are the result of either energy consumption or adaptation dynamics. Although approaches based on these hypotheses can produce optimal network and form loop structures,…
Branching can be observed at the austenite-martensite interface of martensitic phase transformations. For a model problem, Kohn and M\"uller studied a branching pattern with optimal scaling of the energy with respect to its parameters.…
Conservation laws constrain the stationary state statistics of driven dissipative systems because the average flux of a conserved quantity between driving and dissipation scales should be constant. This requirement leads to a universal…
Among the several topological properties of complex networks, the shortest path represents a particularly important characteristic because of its potential impact not only on other topological properties, but mainly for its influence on…
