Global and Distributed Reproduction Numbers of a Multilayer SIR Model with an Infrastructure Network
José I. Caiza, Junjie Qin, Philip E. Paré
In this paper, we propose an SIR spread model in a population network coupled with an infrastructure network that has a pathogen spreading in it. We develop a threshold condition t…
Online Identification of Time-Varying Systems Using Excitation Sets and Change Point Detection
Chi Ho Leung, Ashish R. Hota, Philip E. Paré
In this work, we first show that the problem of parameter identification is often ill-conditioned and lacks the persistence of excitation required for the convergence of online lea…
Optimal Bayesian Persuasion for Containing SIS Epidemics
Urmee Maitra, Ashish R. Hota, Philip E. Paré
We consider a susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model in which a large group of individuals decide whether to adopt partially effective protection without being aware…
Safe Reference Tracking and Collision Avoidance for Taxiing Aircraft Using an MPC-CBF Framework
Brooks A. Butler, Zarif Cabrera, Andy Nguyen +1
In this paper, we develop a framework for the automatic taxiing of aircraft between hangar and take-off given a graph-based model of an airport. We implement a high-level path-plan…
