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…
Robust Economic Model Predictive Control of Continuous-time Epidemic Processes
Nicholas J. Watkins, Cameron Nowzari, George J. Pappas
In this paper, we develop a robust economic model predictive controller for the containment of stochastic Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Vigilant (SEIV) epidemic processes which driv…
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…
Optimal resource allocation for competitive spreading processes on bilayer networks
Nicholas J. Watkins, Cameron Nowzari, Victor M. Preciado +1
This paper studies the SI1SI2S spreading model of two competing behaviors over a bilayer network. We address the problem of determining resource allocation strategies which design…
Deterministic Bounding Systems for Stochastic Compartmental Spreading Processes
Nicholas J. Watkins, Cameron Nowzari, Victor M. Preciado +1
This paper studies a novel approach for approximating the behavior of compartmental spreading processes. In contrast to prior work, the methods developed describe a dynamics which…
