Supply networks: Instabilities without overload
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supply and transport networks support much of our technical infrastructure as well as many biological processes. Their reliable function is thus essential for all aspects of life. Transport processes involving quantities beyond the pure loads exhibit alternative collective dynamical options compared to processes exclusively characterized by loads. Here we analyze the stability and bifurcations in oscillator models describing electric power grids and demonstrate that these networks exhibit instabilities without overloads. This phenomenon may well emerge also in other sufficiently complex supply or transport networks, including biological transport processes.

Instability Phenomena in Underloaded Packet Networks with QoS Schedulers
Instability in packet-switching networks is normally associated with overload conditions, since queueing network models show that, in simple configurations, only overload generates instability. However, some results showing that instability can happen also in underloaded queueing networks appeared in the recent literature. Underload instabilities can be produced by complex scheduling algorithms...
متن کاملInstability phenomena in underloaded packet networks with elastic traffic
Although instability in packet networks has been traditionally associated with overload conditions (because queueing network models show that, in simple configurations, only overload generates instability), some results showing instability in underloaded packet networks have appeared in the recent literature. In [1] we studied, with fluid models and with adversarial queueing theory, possible un...

We propose here a methodology to help to understand the shortcomings of public transportation in a city via the mining of complex networks representing the supply and demand of public transport. We show how to build these networks based upon data on smart card use in buses via the application of algorithms that estimate an OD and reconstruct the complete itinerary of the passengers. The overlap...

Underload instabilities can be produced either by customer routes that visit several time...
متن کاملMeeting the Challenges of the Rising Signaling Storm
Distributed signaling network robustness that follows the concept of three protection lines provides operators with a robust and scalable network architecture beyond the capabilities of existing overload protection mechanisms at node level. Applying this concept enables mobile networks to handle the growth in signaling without unnecessary over-dimensioning, and ensures service delivery to consu...
