Evolutionary divide-and-conquer algorithm for virus spreading control over networks
The control of virus spreading over complex networks with a limited budget has attracted
much attention but remains challenging. This article aims at addressing the combinatorial …

Networked multi-virus spread with a shared resource: Analysis and mitigation strategies
The paper studies multi-competitive continuous-time epidemic processes in the presence of
a shared resource. We consider the setting where multiple viruses are simultaneously …

Identification of network topology variations based on spectral entropy
Based on the fact that the traditional probability distribution entropy describing a local
feature of the system cannot effectively capture the global topology variations of the network …

Sparse resource allocation for control of spreading processes via convex optimization
VLJ Somers, IR Manchester - IEEE Control Systems Letters, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this letter we propose a method for sparse allocation of resources to control spreading
processes-such as epidemics and wildfires-using convex optimization, in particular …
