Abstract: This paper provides a survey of recent research progress in mathematical modeling and distributed control of wide-area networks. Firstly, the modeling is introduced for two types of wide-area networks, i.e., coopetitive networks and cooperative networks, with the help of algebraic graph theory. Particularly, bipartite network topologies and cluster network topologies are introduced for coopetitive networks. With respect to cooperative networks, an intermittent clustered network modeling is presented. Then, some classical distributed control strategies are reviewed for wide-area networks to ensure some desired collective behaviors, such as consensus (or synchronization), bipartite consensus (or polarization), and cluster consensus (or fragmentation). Finally, some conclusions and future directions are summarized.
