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…
In this Rapid Communication we investigate spatially constrained networks that realize optimal synchronization properties. After arguing that spatial constraints can be imposed by limiting the amount of `wire' available to connect nodes…

We present a novel heuristic algorithm for routing optimization on complex networks. Previously proposed routing optimization algorithms aim at avoiding or reducing link overload. Our algorithm balances traffic on a network by minimizing…
In these notes we study synchronizability of dynamical processes defined on complex networks as well as its interplay with network topology. Building from a recent work by Barahona and Pecora [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 054101 (2002)], we use a…
If each node of an idealized network has an equal capacity to efficiently exchange benefits, then the network's capacity to use energy is scaled by the average amount of energy required to connect any two of its nodes. The scaling factor…
This article describes an approach to modeling knowledge acquisition in terms of walks along complex networks. Each subset of knowledge is represented as a node, and relations between such knowledge are expressed as edges. Two types of…
Real-world multilayer networks can be very large and there can be multiple choices regarding what should be modeled as a layer. Therefore, there is a need for their effective storage and manipulation. Currently, multilayer network analysis…

In traditional topology optimization, the computing time required to iteratively update the material distribution within a design domain strongly depends on the complexity or size of the problem, limiting its application in real engineering…
We study the traffic dynamics in complex networks where each link is assigned a limited and identical bandwidth. Although the first-in-first-out (FIFO) queuing rule is widely applied in the routing protocol of information packets, here we…
A new family of graphs, {\it entangled networks}, with optimal properties in many respects, is introduced. By definition, their topology is such that optimizes synchronizability for many dynamical processes. These networks are shown to have…
This paper mainly discusses the diffusion on complex networks with time-varying couplings. We propose a model to describe the adaptive diffusion process of local topological and dynamical information, and find that the Barabasi-Albert…
Modern cyber-physical architectures use data collected from systems at different physical locations to learn appropriate behaviors and adapt to uncertain environments. However, an important challenge arises as communication exchanges at the…
We consider a parallel system of $m$ identical machines prone to unpredictable crashes and restarts, trying to cope with the continuous arrival of tasks to be executed. Tasks have different computational requirements (i.e., processing time…

In many scenarios, networks emerge endogenously as cognitive agents establish links in order to exchange information. Network formation has been widely studied in economics, but only on the basis of simplistic models that assume that the…
Knowledge silos emerge when structural properties of organizational interaction networks limit the diffusion of information. These structural barriers are known to take many forms at different scales - hubs in otherwise sparse…
