Bridging: Locating critical connectors in a network [PDF]

open access: yesSocial Networks, 2010
This paper proposes several measures for bridging in networks derived from Granovetter's (1973) insight that links which reduce distances in a network are important structural bridges. Bridging is calculated by systematically deleting links and calculating the resultant changes in network cohesion (measured as the inverse average path length).

Relaxed Schrödinger Bridges and Robust Network Routing [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, 2020
We consider network routing under random link failures with a desired final distribution. We provide a mathematical formulation of a relaxed transport problem where the final distribution only needs to be close to the desired one. The problem is a maximum entropy problem for path distributions with an extra terminal cost.
