Algebraic connectivity, the second eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix, is a measure of node and link connectivity on networks. When studying interconnected networks it is useful to consider a multiplex model, where the component networks…
In this paper, we present an algorithm for optimizing synchronizability of complex dynamical networks. Based on some network properties, rewirings, i.e. eliminating an edge and creating a new edge elsewhere, are performed iteratively…
Motivated by the relationship between the eigenvalue spectrum of the Laplacian matrix of a network and the behavior of dynamical processes evolving in it, we propose a distributed iterative algorithm in which a group of $n$ autonomous…
We discuss the design of interlayer edges in a multiplex network, under a limited budget, with the goal of improving its overall performance. We analyze the following three problems separately; first, we maximize the smallest nonzero…
In this paper, we consider the robustness of a basic model of a dynamical distribution network. In the first problem, i.e., optimal weight allocation, we minimize the H-inf- norm of the dynamical distribution network subject to allocation…
Algebraic connectivity is one way to quantify graph connectivity, which in turn gauges robustness as a network. In this paper, we consider the problem of maximising algebraic connectivity both local and globally over all simple, undirected,…
We consider the problem of maximizing the algebraic connectivity of the communication graph in a network of mobile robots by moving them into appropriate positions. We define the Laplacian of the graph as dependent on the pairwise distance…
By employing a recently introduced optimization algorithm we explicitely design optimally synchronizable (unweighted) networks for any given scale-free degree distribution. We explore how the optimization process affects degree-degree…
By considering the eigenratio of the Laplacian of the connection graph as synchronizability measure, we propose a procedure for weighting dynamical networks to enhance theirsynchronizability. The method is based on node and edge betweenness…
The second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix is determinative in characterizing many network properties and is known as algebraic connectivity. In this paper, we investigate the problem of maximizing algebraic connectivity in…
We consider network structures that optimize the $\mathcal{H}_2$ norm of weighted, time scaled consensus networks, under a minimal representation of such consensus networks described by the edge Laplacian. We show that a greedy algorithm…
We study optimal synchronization of networks of coupled phase oscillators. We extend previous theory for optimizing the synchronization properties of undirected networks to the important case of directed networks. We derive a generalized…
This paper focuses on designing edge-weighted networks, whose robustness is characterized by maximizing algebraic connectivity, or the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix. This problem is motivated by cooperative vehicle…
Motivated by a variety of applications in control engineering and information sciences, we study network resource allocation problems where the goal is to optimally allocate a fixed amount of resource over a network of nodes. In these…
Distributed optimization for resource allocation problems is investigated and a sub-optimal continuous-time algorithm is proposed. Our algorithm has lower order dynamics than others to reduce burdens of computation and communication, and is…
We consider spectral methods that uncover hidden structures in directed networks. We establish and exploit connections between node reordering via (a) minimizing an objective function and (b) maximizing the likelihood of a random graph…
We study optimal synchronization in networks of heterogeneous phase oscillators. Our main result is the derivation of a synchrony alignment function that encodes the interplay between network structure and oscillators' frequencies and can…
We study an optimal control problem aimed at achieving a desired tradeoff between the network coherence and communication requirements in the distributed controller. Our objective is to add a certain number of edges to an undirected…
We consider two optimization problems on synchronization of oscillator networks: maximization of synchronizability and minimization of synchronization cost. We first develop an extension of the well-known master stability framework to the…
This paper studies the problem of distributed weighted least-squares (WLS) estimation for an interconnected linear measurement network with additive noise. Two types of measurements are considered: self measurements for individual nodes,…
