Jokic, I. (author)The concept of a network, defined as a collection of interconnected nodes or entities, has become a foundation for a new field of inquiry, namely network science. Despite the apparent simplicity of the concept, the pairwise representation of interconnecting nodes has enabled a plethora of insights into the structure of networks and the effects...doctoral thesis 2023

Würzbauer, Valentin (author), Lenk, Kerstin (author), Jafarian, M. (author)The brain consists not only of neurons but also of non-neuronal cells, including astrocytes. Recent discoveries in neuroscience suggest that astrocytes directly regulate neuronal activity by releasing gliotransmitters such as glutamate. In this paper, we consider a biologically plausible mathematical model of a tripartite neuron-astrocyte...journal article 2023

Bombelli, A. (author), Sallan, Jose Maria (author)Flight delays are one of the most discussed, yet not fully understood, topics in the aviation industry. In this paper, we shed more light into propagation of flight delays by providing a spatio-temporal analysis of flight departure delays of the US domestic air network for the year 2017. The analysis focuses on four US air carriers (full-service...journal article 2023

Ranjbar, R. (author), Sadowska, A. (author), Maestre, J. M. (author), van Overloop, P.J.A.T.M. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)We propose a model-predictive control (MPC) approach to solve a human-in-the-loop control problem for a non-automatic networked system with uncertain dynamics. There are no sensors or actuators installed in the system and we involve humans in the loop to travel between various nodes in the network and to provide the remote controller with...journal article 2023

Xi, Kaihua (author), Wang, Zhen (author), Cheng, Aijie (author), Lin, H.X. (author), van Schuppen, J.H. (author), Zhang, Chenghui (author)The synchronization stability of a complex network system of coupled phase oscillators is discussed. In case the network is affected by disturbances, a stochastic linearized system of the coupled phase oscillators may be used to determine the fluctuations of phase differences in the lines between the nodes and to identify the vulnerable lines...journal article 2023

Sun, D. (author), Jamshidnejad, A. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Traffic control is essential to reduce congestion in both urban and freeway traffic networks. These control measures include ramp metering and variable speed limits for freeways, and traffic signal control for urban traffic. However, current traffic control methods are either too simple to respond to complex traffic environment, or too...journal article 2023

Chatterjee, Sarthak (author), Alessandretti, Andrea (author), Aguiar, A. Pedro (author), Gonçalves Melo Pequito, S.D. (author)Fractional-order dynamical networks are increasingly being used to model and describe processes demonstrating long-term memory or complex interlaced dependencies among the spatial and temporal components of a wide variety of dynamical networks. Notable examples include networked control systems or neurophysiological networks which are created...journal article 2023

Sadowska, Anna D. (author), Maestre, José María (author), Kassking, Ruud (author), van Overloop, P.J.A.T.M. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)We propose a model-predictive control (MPC)-based approach to solve a human-in-the-loop control problem for a network system lacking sensors and actuators to allow for a fully automatic operation. The humans in the loop are, therefore, essential; they travel between the network nodes to provide the remote controller with measurements and to...journal article 2023

FANG, SONGLEI (author)A complex network consists of the underlying topology, defined by a graph and the dynamical processes taking place on a network, defined by a set of governing equations. In this thesis, we deploy the discrete-time linear state-space (DLSS) model to identify the dynamical processes taking place on a complex network. Unlike the black-box...master thesis 2022

Mostafaei, Habib (author), Smaragdakis, G. (author), Zinner, Thomas (author), Feldmann, Anja (author)Big data analytics platforms have played a critical role in the unprecedented success of data-driven applications. However, real-time and streaming data applications, and recent legislation, e.g., GDPR in Europe, have posed constraints on exchanging and analyzing data, especially personal data, across geographic regions. To address such...journal article 2022

Raja, A.A. (author), Grammatico, S. (author)In this article, we consider a sequence of transferable utility coalitional games, where the actual coalitional values are unknown but vary within known bounds. As a solution to the resulting family of games, we formalize the notion of 'robust core.' Our main contribution is to design two distributed algorithms, namely 1) distributed payoff...journal article 2022

Devia Pinzon, C.A. (author), Giordano, G. (author)We study dynamic networks described by a directed graph where the nodes are associated with MIMO systems with transfer-function matrix F(s), representing individual dynamic units, and the arcs are associated with MIMO systems with transfer-function matrix G(s), accounting for the dynamic interactions among the units. In the nominal case, we...journal article 2021

Vermeer, R.F.T. (author)In this thesis, we consider the problem of controlling multiple autonomous vehicles in a highway scenario, via MPC. By iteratively solving a motion planning OCP, MPC is perfectly suited for unknown dynamic environments, while optimally computing path and vehicle inputs. Moreover, MPC can ensure the satisfaction of collision avoidance constraints...master thesis 2020

Postma, Jeroen (author)Recent studies in game-theory provided ways to steer multi-agent games to their Nash equilibrium by means of a decentralized approach. However, these approaches have not considered the internal dynamics of the individual agents. This thesis work provides decentralized control methods to account for these internal dynamics whilst ensuring that...master thesis 2020

Kassing, Ruud (author)In this master thesis, the recently introduced Mobile Model Predictive Control (MoMPC) approach for open water systems with uncertain dynamics is discussed, where there are no sensors or actuators installed in the system that would allow for a fully automatic operation. MoMPC is a configuration of Model Predictive Control (MPC) that explicitly...master thesis 2018

Pavlov, Alexey (author), Proskurnikov, A.V. (author), Steur, E. (author), van de Wouw, N. (author)In this paper, we consider synchronization of dynamical systems interconnected via nonlinear integral coupling. Integral coupling allows one to achieve synchronization with lower interaction levels (coupling gains) than with linear coupling. Previous results on this topic were obtained for synchronization of several systems with all-to-all...journal article 2018

Li, H. (author), Hu, Xiao Bing (author), Guo, Xiaomei (author), Xu, Z. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)As an important infrastructure system, civil aviation network system can be severely affected by natural hazards. Although a natural hazard is usually local, its impact, through the network topology, can become global. Inspired by Wilkinson’s work in 2012, this article proposes a new quantitative spatial vulnerability model for network...journal article 2016
