Network connectedness is indispensable for the normal operation of transmission networks. However, there still remains a lack of efficient constraints that can be directly added to the problem formulation of optimal transmission switching…

We find that transport on scale-free random networks depends strongly on degree-correlated network topologies whereas transport on Erd$\ddot{o}$s-R$\acute{e}$nyi networks is insensitive to the degree correlation. An approach for the tuning…

Optimal transportation distances are valuable for comparing and analyzing probability distributions, but larger-scale computational techniques for the theoretically favorable quadratic case are limited to smooth domains or regularized…

With the proliferation of distributed generation into distribution networks, the need to consider fault currents in the dispatch problem becomes increasingly relevant. This paper introduces a method for adding fault current constraints into…

We investigate the fundamental principles that drive the development of scalable algorithms for network optimization. Despite the significant amount of work on parallel and decentralized algorithms in the optimization community, the methods…

This paper proposes a linear approximation of the alternating current optimal power flow problem for multiphase distribution networks with voltage-dependent loads connected in both wye and delta configurations. We establish a set of linear…

The reliable operation of large-scale electric power networks is increasingly challenging, particularly with the integration of stochastic renewable generation. In this work, we address the problem of minimizing network transients by…

The controllability of complex networks has received much attention recently, which tells whether we can steer a system from an initial state to any final state within finite time with admissible external inputs. In order to accomplish the…

Active fluids operate by constantly dissipating energy at the particle level to perform a directed motion, yielding dynamics and phases without any equilibrium equivalent. The emerging behaviors have been studied extensively, yet…

Traditional communication theory focuses on minimizing transmit power. However, communication links are increasingly operating at shorter ranges where transmit power can be significantly smaller than the power consumed in decoding. This…

We investigate the structural organization of the point-to-point electric, diffusive or hydraulic transport in complex scale-free networks. The random choice of two nodes, a source and a drain, to which a potential difference is applied,…

Transmission topology control is a tool used by system operators in the role of a control action taken into account as a preventive or corrective action relative to a specific outage or set of outages. However, their inclusion in most…

The problem of designing policies for in-network function computation with minimum energy consumption subject to a latency constraint is considered. The scaling behavior of the energy consumption under the latency constraint is analyzed for…

We consider the worst-case load-shedding problem in electric power networks where a number of transmission lines are to be taken out of service. The objective is to identify a pre-specified number of line outage that leads to the maximum…

We propose an optimization approach to design cost-effective electrical power transmission networks. That is, we aim to select both the network structure and the line conductances (line sizes) so as to optimize the trade-off between network…

There is a renewed surge in percolation-induced transport properties of diverse nano-particle composites (cf. RSC Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Series, Paul O'Brien Editor-in-Chief). We note in particular a broad interest in nano-composites…

Vascular networks are used across the kingdoms of life to transport fluids, nutrients and cellular material. A popular unifying idea for understanding the diversity and constraints of these networks is that the conduits making up the…

We present an analysis of the topologies of a class of networks which are optimal in terms of the requirements of having as short a route as possible between any two nodes while yet keeping the congestion in the network as low as possible.…

Optimality principles in nonequilibrium transport networks are linked to a thermodynamic formalism based on generalized transport potentials endowed with Legendre duality and related contact structure. This allows quantifying the distance…

Capacity scaling laws are analyzed in an underwater acoustic network with $n$ regularly located nodes on a square. A narrow-band model is assumed where the carrier frequency is allowed to scale as a function of $n$. In the network, we…
