A variational model for equilibrium problems in a traffic network

Giandomenico Mastroeni, Massimo Pappalardo (2004)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

We propose a variational model for one of the most important problems in traffic networks, namely, the network equilibrium flow that is, traditionally in the context of operations research, characterized by minimum cost flow. This model has the peculiarity of being formulated by means of a suitable variational inequality (VI) and its solution is called “equilibrium”. This model becomes a minimum cost model when the cost function is separable or, more general, when the jacobian of the...

Systemic risk through contagion in a core-periphery structured banking network

Oliver Kley, Claudia Klüppelberg, Lukas Reichel (2015)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We contribute to the understanding of how systemic risk arises in a network of credit-interlinked agents. Motivated by empirical studies we formulate a network model which, despite its simplicity, depicts the nature of interbank markets better than a symmetric model. The components of a vector Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process living on the nodes of the network describe the financial robustnesses of the agents. For this system, we prove a LLN for growing network size leading to a propagation...

Reliability-based economic model predictive control for generalised flow-based networks including actuators' health-aware capabilities

Juan M. Grosso, Carlos Ocampo-Martinez, Vicenç Puig (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper proposes a reliability-based economic model predictive control (MPC) strategy for the management of generalised flow-based networks, integrating some ideas on network service reliability, dynamic safety stock planning, and degradation of equipment health. The proposed strategy is based on a single-layer economic optimisation problem with dynamic constraints, which includes two enhancements with respect to existing approaches. The first enhancement considers chance-constraint...

Modeling acquaintance networks based on balance theory

Vida Vukašinović, Jurij Šilc, Riste Škrekovski (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

An acquaintance network is a social structure made up of a set of actors and the ties between them. These ties change dynamically as a consequence of incessant interactions between the actors. In this paper we introduce a social network model called the Interaction-Based (IB) model that involves well-known sociological principles. The connections between the actors and the strength of the connections are influenced by the continuous positive and negative interactions between the actors...

Blood Flow Simulation in Atherosclerotic Vascular Network Using Fiber-Spring Representation of Diseased Wall

Yu. Vassilevski, S. Simakov, V. Salamatova, Yu. Ivanov, T. Dobroserdova (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

We present the fiber-spring elastic model of the arterial wall with atherosclerotic plaque composed of a lipid pool and a fibrous cap. This model allows us to reproduce pressure to cross-sectional area relationship along the diseased vessel which is used in the network model of global blood circulation. Atherosclerosis attacks a region of systemic arterial network. Our approach allows us to examine the impact of the diseased region onto...

Anycasting in connection-oriented computer networks: Models, algorithms and results

Krzysztof Walkowiak (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Our discussion in this article centers around various issues related to the use of anycasting in connection-oriented computer networks. Anycast is defined as a one-to-one-of-many transmission to deliver a packet to one of many hosts. Anycasting can be applied if the same content is replicated over many locations in the network. Examples of network techniques that apply anycasting are Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), Domain Name Service (DNS), Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems. The role of...

The nonlinear complementarity model of industrial symbiosis network equilibrium problem

Shiqin Xu, Guoshan Liu, Wendai Lv, Yingmei Liu (2014)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

In this paper, we propose an industrial symbiosis network equilibrium model by using nonlinear complementarity theory. The industrial symbiosis network consists of industrial producers, industrial consumers, industrial decomposers and demand markets, which imitates natural ecosystem by means of exchanging by-products and recycling useful materials exacted from wastes. The industrial producers and industrial consumers are assumed to be concerned with maximization of economic profits as...

A mathematical model for file fragment diffusion and a neural predictor to manage priority queues over BitTorrent

Christian Napoli, Giuseppe Pappalardo, Emiliano Tramontana (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

BitTorrent splits the files that are shared on a P2P network into fragments and then spreads these by giving the highest priority to the rarest fragment. We propose a mathematical model that takes into account several factors such as the peer distance, communication delays, and file fragment availability in a future period also by using a neural network module designed to model the behaviour of the peers. The ensemble comprising the proposed mathematical model and a neural network provides...
