Abstract:In an increasing connected world, resilience is an important ability for a system to retain its original function when perturbations happen. Even though we understand smallscale resilience well, our understanding of large-scale networked resilience is limited. Recent research in network-level resilience and node-level resilience pattern has advanced our understanding of the relationship between topology and dynamics across network scales. However, the effect of uncertainty in a largescale networked system is n… Show more

Many complex engineering systems network together functional elements to balance demand spikes but suffer from stability issues due to cascades. The research challenge is to prove the stability conditions for any arbitrarily large and dynamic network topology with any complex balancing function. Most current analyses linearize the system around fixed equilibrium solutions. This approach is insufficient for dynamic networks with multiple equilibria, for example, with different initial conditions or perturbations. Region of attraction (ROA) estimation is needed in order to ensure that the desirable equilibria are reached. This is challenging because a networked system of non-linear dynamics requires compression to obtain a tractable ROA analysis. Here, we employ master stability-inspired method to reveal that the extreme eigenvalues of the Laplacian are explicitly linked to the ROA. This novel relationship between the ROA and the largest eigenvalue in turn provides a pathway to augmenting the network structure to improve stability. We demonstrate using a case study on how the network with multiple equilibria can be optimized to ensure stability.

Many complex engineering systems network together functional elements and balance demand loads (e.g. information on data networks, electric power on grids). This allows load spikes to be shifted and avoid a local overload. In mobile wireless networks, base stations (BSs) receive data demand and shift high loads to neighbouring BSs to avoid outage. The stability of cascade load balancing is important because unstable networks can cause high inefficiency. The research challenge is to prove the stability conditions for any arbitrarily large, complex, and dynamic network topology, and for any balancing dynamic function.Our previous work has proven the conditions for stability for stationary networks near equilibrium for any load balancing dynamic and topology. Most current analyses in dynamic complex networks linearize the system around the fixed equilibrium solutions. This approach is insufficient for dynamic networks with changing equilibrium and estimating the Region of Attraction (ROA) is needed. The novelty of this paper is that we compress this high-dimensional system and use Level Set Methods (LSM) to estimate the ROA. Our results show how we can control the ROA via network topology (local degree control) as a way to configure the mobility of transceivers to ensure preservation of stable load balancing.
