Optimal Lockdown to Manage an Epidemic
Jagtap Kalyani Devendra, Kundan Kandhway
We formulate an optimal control problem to determine the lockdown policy to curb an epidemic where other control measures are not available yet. We present a unified framework to m…
Mitigating Biological Epidemic on Heterogeneous Social Networks
Jagtap Kalyani Devendra, Kundan Kandhway
Recent Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated the need of efficient epidemic outbreak management. We study the optimal control problem of minimizing the fraction of infected population…
Robust Energy Harvesting Based on a Stackelberg Game
Siddhartha Sarma, Kundan Kandhway, Joy Kuri
We study a Stackelberg game between a base station and a multi-antenna power beacon for wireless energy harvesting in a multiple sensor node scenario. Assuming imperfect CSI betwee…
Using Node Centrality and Optimal Control to Maximize Information Diffusion in Social Networks
Kundan Kandhway, Joy Kuri
We model information dissemination as a susceptible-infected epidemic process and formulate a problem to jointly optimize seeds for the epidemic and time varying resource allocatio…
Game Theoretic Analysis of Tree Based Referrals for Crowd Sensing Social Systems with Passive Rewards
Kundan Kandhway, Bhushan Kotnis
Participatory crowd sensing social systems rely on the participation of large number of individuals. Since humans are strategic by nature, effective incentive mechanisms are needed…
Optimal Resource Allocation Over Time and Degree Classes for Maximizing Information Dissemination in Social Networks
Kundan Kandhway, Joy Kuri
We study the optimal control problem of allocating campaigning resources over the campaign duration and degree classes in a social network. Information diffusion is modeled as a Su…
Robust Power Allocation and Outage Analysis for Secrecy in Independent Parallel Gaussian Channels
Siddhartha Sarma, Kundan Kandhway, Joy Kuri
This letter studies parallel independent Gaussian channels with uncertain eavesdropper channel state information (CSI). Firstly, we evaluate the probability of zero secrecy rate in…
Campaigning in Heterogeneous Social Networks: Optimal Control of SI Information Epidemics
Kundan Kandhway, Joy Kuri
We study the optimal control problem of maximizing the spread of an information epidemic on a social network. Information propagation is modeled as a Susceptible-Infected (SI) proc…
Optimal control of information epidemics modeled as Maki Thompson rumors
Kundan Kandhway, Joy Kuri
We model the spread of information in a homogeneously mixed population using the Maki Thompson rumor model. We formulate an optimal control problem, from the perspective of single…
How to Run a Campaign: Optimal Control of SIS and SIR Information Epidemics
Kundan Kandhway, Joy Kuri
Information spreading in a population can be modeled as an epidemic. Campaigners (e.g. election campaign managers, companies marketing products or movies) are interested in spreadi…
