Algebraic graph theory is a cornerstone in the study of electrical networks ranging from
miniature integrated circuits to continental-scale power systems. Conversely, many …

In this paper, and inspired by the recent discrete-time model in Parsegov et al.(2017) and
Friedkin et al.(2016), we study two continuous-time opinion dynamics models (Model 1 and …

We consider distributed consensus in networks where the agents have integrator dynamics
of order two or higher (n≥ 2). We assume all feedback to be localized in the sense that each …

This paper examines the impact of local peer selection on global opinion dynamics evolving
on signed social networks, where both cooperative and antagonistic ties coexist …

As the continuous development of mobile social networks, the structure of the mobile social
network increasingly becomes complex. It not only speeds up information transmission …

This paper proposes a simplified version of classical models for urban traffic networks and
studies the problem of optimizing the network overall efficiency by controlling the signalized …

This paper tackles the eigenvalue allocation problem through an appropriate choice of the
edge weights for the class of combinatorially-symmetric Laplacian matrices of acyclic …

We study the problem of distributed consensus in networks where the local agents have
high-order (n≥ 3) integrator dynamics, and where all feedback is localized in that each …

Networked systems accomplish global behaviors through local feedback interactions. The
purpose of a distributed control design is to select interaction rules and control protocols that …

This book uses rigorous mathematical analysis to advance opinion dynamics models for
social networks in three major directions. First, a novel model is proposed to capture how a …
