Reinforcement Learning Optimizes Power Dispatch in Decentralized Power Grid

Effective frequency control in power grids has become increasingly important with the increasing demand for renewable energy sources. Here, we propose a novel strategy for resolving this challenge using graph convolutional proximal policy optimization (GC-PPO). The GC-PPO method can optimally determine how much power individual buses dispatch to reduce frequency fluctuations across a power grid. We demonstrate its efficacy in controlling disturbances by applying the GC-PPO to the power grid of the UK. The performance of GC-PPO is outstanding compared to the classical methods. This result highlights the promising role of GC-PPO in enhancing the stability and reliability of power systems by switching lines or decentralizing grid topology.

$(k,q)$-core decomposition of hypergraphs

In complex networks, many elements interact with each other in different ways. A hypergraph is a network in which group interactions occur among more than two elements. In this study, first, we propose a method to identify influential subgroups in hypergraphs, named $(k,q)$-core decomposition. The $(k,q)$-core is defined as the maximal subgraph in which each vertex has at least $k$ hypergraph degrees \textit{and} each hyperedge contains at least $q$ vertices. The method contains a repeated pruning process until reaching the $(k,q)$-core, which shares similarities with a widely used $k$-core decomposition technique in a graph. Second, we analyze the pruning dynamics and the percolation transition with theoretical and numerical methods in random hypergraphs. We set up evolution equations for the pruning process, and self-consistency equations for the percolation properties. Based on our theory, we find that the pruning process generates a hybrid percolation transition for either $k\ge 3$ \textit{or} $q\ge 3$. The critical exponents obtained theoretically are confirmed with finite-size scaling analysis. Next, when $k=q=2$, we obtain a unconventional degree-dependent critical relaxation dynamics analytically and numerically. Finally, we apply the $(k,q)$-core decomposition to a real coauthorship dataset and recognize the leading groups at an early stage.

Prediction and mitigation of nonlocal cascading failures using graph neural networks

Cascading failures (CFs) in electrical power grids propagate nonlocally; After a local disturbance, the second failure may be distant. To study the avalanche dynamics and mitigation strategy of nonlocal CFs, numerical simulation is necessary; however, computational complexity is high. Here, we first propose an avalanche centrality (AC) of each node, a measure related to avalanche size, based on the Motter and Lai model. Second, we train a graph neural network (GNN) with the AC in small networks. Next, the trained GNN predicts the AC ranking in much larger networks and real-world electrical grids. This result can be used effectively for avalanche mitigation. The framework we develop can be implemented in other complex processes that are computationally costly to simulate in large networks.

Betweenness centrality of teams in social networks

Betweenness centrality (BC) was proposed as an indicator of the extent of an individual's influence in a social network. It is measured by counting how many times a vertex (i.e., an individual) appears on all the shortest paths between pairs of vertices. A question naturally arises as to how the influence of a team or group in a social network can be measured. Here, we propose a method of measuring this influence on a bipartite graph comprising vertices (individuals) and hyperedges (teams). When the hyperedge size varies, the number of shortest paths between two vertices in a hypergraph can be larger than that in a binary graph. Thus, the power-law behavior of the team BC distribution breaks down in scale-free hypergraphs. However, when the weight of each hyperedge, for example, the performance per team member, is counted, the team BC distribution is found to exhibit power-law behavior. We find that a team with a widely connected member is highly influential.

Absorbing phase transition with a continuously varying exponent in a quantum contact process: a neural network approach

Phase transitions in dissipative quantum systems are intriguing because they are induced by the interplay between coherent quantum and incoherent classical fluctuations. Here, we investigate the crossover from a quantum to a classical absorbing phase transition arising in the quantum contact process (QCP). The Lindblad equation contains two parameters, $ω$ and $κ$, which adjust the contributions of the quantum and classical effects, respectively. We find that in one dimension when the QCP starts from a homogeneous state with all active sites, there exists a critical line in the region $0 \le κ< κ_*$ along which the exponent $α$ (which is associated with the density of active sites) decreases continuously from a quantum to the classical directed percolation (DP) value. This behavior suggests that the quantum coherent effect remains to some extent near $κ=0$. However, when the QCP in one dimension starts from a heterogeneous state with all inactive sites except for one active site, all the critical exponents have the classical DP values for $κ\ge 0$. In two dimensions, anomalous crossover behavior does not occur, and classical DP behavior appears in the entire region of $κ\ge 0$ regardless of the initial configuration. Neural network machine learning is used to identify the critical line and determine the correlation length exponent. Numerical simulations using the quantum jump Monte Carlo technique and tensor network method are performed to determine all the other critical exponents of the QCP.

Homological percolation transitions in growing simplicial complexes

Simplicial complex (SC) representation is an elegant mathematical framework for representing the effect of complexes or groups with higher-order interactions in a variety of complex systems ranging from brain networks to social relationships. Here, we explore the homological percolation transitions (HPTs) of growing SCs using empirical datasets and a model proposed. The HPTs are determined by the first and second Betti numbers, which indicate the appearance of one- and two-dimensional macroscopic-scale homological cycles and cavities, respectively. A minimal SC model with two essential factors, namely, growth and preferential attachment, is proposed to model social coauthorship relationships. This model successfully reproduces the HPTs and determines the transition types as infinite order (the Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless type) with different critical exponents. In contrast to the Kahle localization observed in static random SCs, the first Betti number continues to increase even after the second Betti number appears. This delocalization is found to stem from the two aforementioned factors and arises when the merging rate of two-dimensional simplexes is less than the birth rate of isolated simplexes. Our results can provide topological insight into the maturing steps of complex networks such as social and biological networks.
