Container shipping accounts for most of the world merchandise trade. Better maritime
connectivity leads to lower freight rates and greater economic growth. This paper presents a …

It is well known that all agents in a multiagent system can asymptotically converge to a
common value based on consensus protocols. Besides, the associated convergence rate …

Compared with a single and isolated network, interdependent networks have two types of
links: connectivity link and dependency link. This paper aims to improve the robustness of …

Identifying critical nodes and links in graphs is a crucial task. These nodes/links typically
represent critical elements/communication links that play a key role in a system's …

Improving robustness of complex networks is a challenge in several application domains,
such as power grids and water management networks. In such networks, high robustness …

Spectral measures have long been used to quantify the robustness of real-world graphs. For
example, spectral radius (or the principal eigenvalue) is related to the effective spreading …

This paper proposes two nonlinear dynamics to solve constrained distributed optimization
problem for resource allocation over a multi-agent network. In this setup, coupling constraint …

Robustness in complex networks is an ongoing research effort that seeks to improve the
connectivity of networks against attacks and failures. Among other measures, algebraic …

This article studies how a centralized planner can modify the structure of a social or
information network to reduce polarization. First, polarization is found to be highly …

Graph robustness metrics have been used largely to study the behavior of communication
networks in the presence of targeted attacks and random failures. Several researchers have …
