This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded The Washington University in St. Louis $291,919 to develop theory and methods for addressing network-level uncertainty in the control of large-scale networked systems. The 3-year project, which begins on September 1, 2024, will integrate random graph theory, particularly graphon theory, with structural system theory to model and understand network-level uncertainty in control systems. The key objectives are to: (1) formulate new problems at the intersection of structural system theory and graphon theory, (2) develop a new toolbox for analyzing structural properties for network systems drawn from graphons, and (3) establish new theoretical results and algorithms that may impact both areas and beyond. The project aims to characterize how system properties like controllability and stability behave under network uncertainty by leveraging tools from analysis and geometry to compute probabilities in the asymptotic regime. This novel approach is expected to provide complete solutions to these combinatorial and probabilistic challenges.
