Liu, M. (author), Li, D. (author), Qin, P. (author), Liu, C. (author), Wang, H. (author), Wang, F. (author)Networks can be used to describe the interconnections among individuals, which play an important role in the spread of disease. Although the small-world effect has been found to have a significant impact on epidemics in single networks, the small-world effect on epidemics in interconnected networks has rarely been considered. Here, we study the...journal article 2015

Van Mieghem, P. (author), Stevanovi?, D. (author), Kuipers, F. (author), Li, C. (author), Van de Bovenkamp, R. (author), Liu, D. (author), Wang, H. (author)The decrease of the spectral radius, an important characterizer of network dynamics, by removing links is investigated. The minimization of the spectral radius by removing m links is shown to be an NP-complete problem, which suggests considering heuristic strategies. Several greedy strategies are compared, and several bounds on the decrease of...journal article 2011

Li, Peng (author), Liu, Di (author), Baldi, S. (author)Adaptive integral sliding mode control (AISMC) is an extension of adaptive sliding mode control which is a way to ensure sliding motion while handling system uncertainties. However, conventional AISMC formulations require to different extent a priori knowledge of the system uncertainty: either the upper bound of the uncertainty or of its time...journal article 2022
