Adversarial actions and a rapid climate change are disrupting operations of infrastructure networks (e.g., energy, water, and transportation systems). Unaddressed disruptions lead to system-wide shutdowns, emphasizing the need for quick and robust identification methods. One significant disruption arises from edge changes (addition or deletion) in networks. We present an $\ell_1$-norm regularized least-squares framework to identify multiple but sparse edge changes using noisy data. We focus only on networks that obey equilibrium equations, as commonly observed in the above sectors. The presence or lack of edges in these networks is captured by the sparsity pattern of the weighted, symmetric Laplacian matrix, while noisy data are node injections and potentials. Our proposed framework systematically leverages the inherent structure within the Laplacian matrix, effectively avoiding overparameterization. We demonstrate the robustness and efficacy of the proposed approach through a series of representative examples, with a primary emphasis on power networks.
