Synchronization in Complex Networks
The study of complex systems pervades all of science, from cell biology to ecology, from computer science to meteorology. A paradigm of a complex...
-
Data Traffic, Topology and Congestion
We consider the interaction between the topology of a network and the tra.c carried along its channels. The binding elements between the topology and...

4 Modelling and Controlling the Compliance of a Robotic Hand with Soft Finger-pads
Compliant pads greatly contribute to increase the robustness and the stability of grasps of robot hands, because of their conformability to the...

9 On Observing Contact States in Overconstrained Manipulation
Estimation of contact state is important to any multi-point interaction that involves frictional stick/slip phenomena. In particular, when there are...

Emergence of Complexity in Financial Networks
We present here a brief summary of the various possible applications of network theory in the field of finance. Since we want to characterize...
-
Characteristics of Biological Networks
Network principles describe uniformly systems as diverse as the cell or the Internet. The emergence of these networks is driven by self-organizing...
-
Classes of the Shortest Pathway Structures in Scale Free Networks
We study a problem of data packet transport between a pair of vertices on scale-free network, and introduce load of a vertex as the accumulated sum...
-
The Optimal Pathin an Erdős-Rényi Random Graph
We study the optimal distance $\ell_{\mbox{\scriptsize opt}}$ in...

Information Dynamics in the Networked World
We review three studies of information flow in social networks that help reveal their underlying social structure, how information spreads among them...
-
Clustering in Complex Networks
Real, mostly socially rooted networks have the tendency to form the simplest morphological structures observable: triangles, or in other words...
-
Boolean Modelingof Genetic Regulatory Networks
Biological systems form complex networks of interaction on several scales, ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level. On the subcellular...

Nonlinear Instabilities in TCP-RED
With the growing size and popularity of the Internet, congestion control has emerged as an important problem. Poor management of congestion can...
-
Dynamics of Congestion Control
One reason for the success of TCP and its widespread usage in the Internet is its ability to control network congestion. A TCP source uses implicit...

5 A Practical Audio Acquisition System Using a Robust GSC (RGSC)
In the preceding chapter, we have seen that data-dependent beamformers can be efficiently realized in GSC structures. However, GSCs, or more general...

2. Analysis of Switched and Impulsive Systems
The analysis will focus on the case where the switchings are governed by a finite state machine. This is because the common Lyapunov function method...
