Towards designing robust coupled networks

چکیده
Natural and technological interdependent systems have been shown to be highly vulnerable due to cascading failures and an abrupt collapse of global connectivity under initial failure. Mitigating the risk by partial disconnection endangers their functionality. Here we propose a systematic strategy of selecting a minimum number of autonomous nodes that guarantee a smooth transition in robustness. Our method which is based on betweenness is tested on various examples including the famous 2003 electrical blackout of Italy. We show that, with this strategy, the necessary number of autonomous nodes can be reduced by a factor of five compared to a random choice. We also find that the transition to abrupt collapse follows tricritical scaling characterized by a set of exponents which is independent on the protection strategy.

Robust Fault Detection on Boiler-turbine Unit Actuators Using Dynamic Neural Networks
Due to the important role of the boiler-turbine units in industries and electricity generation, it is important to diagnose different types of faults in different parts of boiler-turbine system. Different parts of a boiler-turbine system like the sensor or actuator or plant can be affected by various types of faults. In this paper, the effects of the occurrence of faults on the actuators are in...
متن کاملOverload-based cascades on multiplex networks and effects of inter-similarity
Although cascading failures caused by overload on interdependent/interconnected networks have been studied in the recent years, the effect of overlapping links (inter-similarity) on robustness to such cascades in coupled networks is not well understood. This is an important issue since shared links exist in many real-world coupled networks. In this paper, we propose a new model for load-based c...

Designing an efficient and robust routing algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a challenging job compared to that of a wired and immobile network as because of some intrinsic characteristics of the MANET like highly dynamic nature of network topology due to mobility of nodes, asymmetric links, limited bandwidth, limited battery power, and alike. The statistics shows that the most of t...
متن کاملStudy of Robustness in Functionally Identical Coupled Networks against Cascading Failures
Based on coupled networks, taking node load, capacity and load redistribution between two networks into consideration, we propose functionally identical coupled networks, which consist of two networks connected by interlinks. Functionally identical coupled networks are derived from the power grid of the United States, which consists of many independent grids. Many power transmission lines are p...
