An individual-based approach to SIR epidemics in contact networks
Mina Youssef,Caterina Scoglio +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes a new individual-based SIR approach, which is built on a continuous time Markov chain, and it is capable of evaluating the state probability for every individual in the network, and shows that the new approach is accurate for a large range of infection strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal intentional islanding to enhance the robustness of power grid networks
TL;DR: Two grid partitioning methods based on modularity, properly modified to take into account the power flow model are proposed, modifications of the Fast Greedy algorithm and the Bloom algorithm, and are polynomial in running time.

Characterizing the Robustness of Complex Networks
TL;DR: Extensive simulations show that, for a given network density, regular and semi-regular topologies can have higher degrees of robustness than heterogeneous topologies, and that link redundancy is a sufficient but not necessary condition for robustness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viral conductance: Quantifying the robustness of networks with respect to spread of epidemics
TL;DR: A novel measure, viral conductance (VC), to assess the robustness of complex networks with respect to the spread of SIS epidemics, which incorporates the fraction of infected nodes at steady state for all possible effective infection strengths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitigation of epidemics in contact networks through optimal contact adaptation.
Mina Youssef,Caterina Scoglio +1 more
TL;DR: The results show awareness of the infection level at which the mitigation strategies are effectively applied to the contact weights, and that the piecewise nonlinear control function outperforms the well-known Bang-Bang control function in minimizing both the total number of infection cases and the reduction of contact weights.
