In this paper, we study the maximum edge augmentation problem in directed Laplacian networks to improve their robustness while preserving lower bounds on their strong structural controllability (SSC). Since adding edges could adversely impact network controllability, the main objective is to maximally densify a given network by selectively adding missing edges while ensuring that SSC of the network does not deteriorate beyond certain levels specified by the SSC bounds. We consider two widely used bounds: first is based on the notion of zero forcing (ZF), and the second relies on the distances between nodes in a graph. We provide an edge augmentation algorithm that adds the maximum number of edges in a graph while preserving the ZF-based SSC bound, and also derive a closed-form expression for the exact number of edges added to the graph. Then, we examine the edge augmentation problem while preserving the distance-based bound and present a randomized algorithm that guarantees an approximate solution with high probability. Finally, we numerically evaluate and compare these edge augmentation solutions.

In this paper, we consider a network of agents with Laplacian dynamics, and study the problem of improving network robustness by adding a maximum number of edges within the network while preserving a lower bound on its strong structural controllabili ty (SSC) at the same time. Edge augmentation increases networks robustness to noise and structural changes, however, it could also deteriorate network controllability. Thus, by exploiting relationship between network controllability and distances between nodes in graphs, we formulate an edge augmentation problem with a constraint to preserve distances between certain node pairs, which in turn guarantees that a lower bound on SSC is maintained even after adding edges. In this direction, first we choose a node pair and maximally add edges while maintaining the distance between selected nodes. We show that an optimal solution belongs to a certain class of graphs called clique chains. Then, we present an algorithm to add edges while preserving distances between a certain collection of nodes. Further, we present a randomized algorithm that guarantees a desired approximation ratio with high probability to solve the edge augmentation problem. Finally, we evaluate our results on various networks.
Controlling a dynamical system is the ability of changing its configuration arbitrarily through a suitable choice of inputs. It is a very well studied concept in control theory, with wide ranging applications in medicine, biology, social sciences, en gineering. We introduce in this article the concept of controllability of reaction systems as the ability of transitioning between any two states through a suitable choice of context sequences. We show that the problem is PSPACE-hard. We also introduce a model of oncogenic signalling based on reaction systems and use it to illustrate the intricacies of the controllability of reaction systems.

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a promising technology to support mission-critical vehicular applications, such as intelligent path planning and safety applications. In this paper, a collaborative edge computing framework is developed to reduce the co mputing service latency and improve service reliability for vehicular networks. First, a task partition and scheduling algorithm (TPSA) is proposed to decide the workload allocation and schedule the execution order of the tasks offloaded to the edge servers given a computation offloading strategy. Second, an artificial intelligence (AI) based collaborative computing approach is developed to determine the task offloading, computing, and result delivery policy for vehicles. Specifically, the offloading and computing problem is formulated as a Markov decision process. A deep reinforcement learning technique, i.e., deep deterministic policy gradient, is adopted to find the optimal solution in a complex urban transportation network. By our approach, the service cost, which includes computing service latency and service failure penalty, can be minimized via the optimal workload assignment and server selection in collaborative computing. Simulation results show that the proposed AI-based collaborative computing approach can adapt to a highly dynamic environment with outstanding performance.
The lack of studying the complex organization of directed network usually limits to the understanding of underlying relationship between network structures and functions. Structural controllability and structural predictability, two seemingly unrelat ed subjects, are revealed in this paper to be both highly dependent on the critical links previously thought to only be able to influence the number of driver nodes in controllable directed networks. Here, we show that critical links can not only contribute to structural controllability, but they can also have a significant impact on the structural predictability of networks, suggesting the universal pattern of structural reciprocity in directed networks. In addition, it is shown that the fraction and location of critical links have a strong influence on the performance of prediction algorithms. Moreover, these empirical results are interpreted by introducing the link centrality based on corresponding line graphs. This work bridges the gap between the two independent research fields, and it provides indications of developing advanced control strategies and prediction algorithms from a microscopic perspective.
In this paper, we introduce a deep learning aided constraint encoding method to tackle the frequency-constraint microgrid scheduling problem. The nonlinear function between system operating condition and frequency nadir is approximated by using a neu ral network, which admits an exact mixed-integer formulation (MIP). This formulation is then integrated with the scheduling problem to encode the frequency constraint. With the stronger representation power of the neural network, the resulting commands can ensure adequate frequency response in a realistic setting in addition to islanding success. The proposed method is validated on a modified 33-node system. Successful islanding with a secure response is simulated under the scheduled commands using a detailed three-phase model in Simulink. The advantages of our model are particularly remarkable when the inertia emulation functions from wind turbine generators are considered.
