Control of Generalized Discrete-time SIS Epidemics via Submodular Function Minimization
Nicholas J. Watkins, George J. Pappas
In this paper, we study a novel control method for a generalized SIS epidemic process. In particular, we use predictive control to design optimal protective resource distribution s…

Stability of Control Systems with Feedback from Energy Harvesting Sensors
Nicholas J. Watkins, Konstantinos Gatsis, Cameron Nowzari +1
In this paper, we study the problem of certifying the stability of a closed loop system which receives feedback from an energy harvesting sensor. This is important, as energy harve…

Inference, Prediction, and Control of Networked Epidemics
Nicholas J. Watkins, Cameron Nowzari, George J. Pappas
We develop a feedback control method for networked epidemic spreading processes. In contrast to most prior works which consider mean field, open-loop control schemes, the present w…
