N-k interdiction modeling for natural gas networks

Predictive Control of Gas Injection in Natural Gas Transport Networks

The present sought to draw a comparison between Model Predictive Control performance and two other controllers named Simple PI and Selective PI in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. A nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in SIMULINK® environment of MATLAB®. Control schemes were designed to provide a s...

Interdiction Modeling for Smuggled Nuclear Material

We describe a stochastic interdiction model on a transportation network consisting of two adversaries: a nuclear-material smuggler and an interdictor. The interdictor first installs radiation detectors on the network. These installations are transparent to the smuggler, and are made under an uncertain threat scenario, which specifies the smuggler’s origin and destination, the nature of the mate...

Modeling Free-Space Optical k-ary n-Cube Wormhole Networks

This paper presents an optical interconnect model for k-ary n-cube network topologies based on free-space analysis. This model integrates relevant parameters inherent to optics with traditional network parameters to make it applicable for performance evaluation of parallel processor optical network designs. We apply this model to a free-space diffractive-reflective optical interconnect design a...
