A Topological Investigation of Power Flow

This paper combines the fundamentals of an electrical grid, such as flow allocation according to Kirchhoff’s laws and the effect of transmission line reactances with spectral graph theory, and expresses the linearized power flow behaviour in slack-bus independent weighted graph matrices to assess the relation between the topological structure...

Metabolic network destruction: Relating topology to robustness

Biological networks exhibit intriguing topological properties such as small-worldness. In this paper, we investigate whether the topology of a metabolic network is related to its robustness. We do so by perturbing a metabolic system in silico, one reaction at a time and studying the correlations between growth, as predicted by flux balance...
