In this talk, we study two different diffusion models on the random graphs. In the first part, we
consider first passage percolation. We analyze the impact of the edge weights on distances
in…
Many operational problems in data-rich environments can be characterized by three primitives: data on uncertain quantities of interest such as simultaneous demands, concurrent auxiliary data such as…
A connected world is vulnerable to cascades and contagions. I will introduce concepts of complex systems science that characterize dependencies and collective behaviors. I will show how these…
