This work considered the quantitative analysis of large written texts. To this end, the text was converted into a time series by taking the sequence of word lengths. The detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) was used for characterizing long-range serial correlations of the time series. To this...

We propose a new model to investigate the dynamics of human opinion as affected by advertising, based on the main idea of the CODA model and taking into account two practical factors: one is that the marginal influence of an additional friend will decrease with an increasing number of friends;...

We study the multiple-vehicle collision when a vehicle changes from the first lane to the second lane on a two-lane highway. If a vehicle with high (low) speed on the first lane enters into the second lane, it may crash into the forward (rear) vehicle on the second lane and the crash may induce...

We analyze the difference between the three generations of the energy constraint in nonextensive statistical mechanics. Using the third generation of the energy constraint, we revise the isothermal static linear response function and then derive the static linear response function under the...

The cross-correlation between the China Securities Index 300 (CSI 300) index futures and the spot markets based on high-frequency data is discussed in this paper. We empirically analyze the cross-correlation by using the multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MF-DCCA), and...

The accounts of medical trials provide very detailed information about the patients’ health conditions. On the contrary, almost no vital data such as marital status or age distribution are usually given. Yet, some of these factors can have a notable impact on the overall death rate, thereby...

Education remains one of the fundamental factors in people’s lives. The education rate of a population reflects the degree of vulnerability of a typical individual to any kind of information. In general, one distinguishes two types of individuals in a population: educated individuals and...

Inferring connectivity of complex network from its node dynamics is of great significance in many cross-disciplinary fields. In this paper, we extend the previous network reconstruction method based on phase synchronization with nonlinearly coupled system to a linearly coupled one. We test these...

We study the dependence of synchronization transitions in modular networks of bursting neurons with hybrid electrical–chemical synapses on the information transmission delay and the probability of electrical synapses. The modular network is composed of subnetworks (clusters); each of them...

The partition function of q-state Potts model, or equivalently the Tutte polynomial, is computationally intractable for regular lattices. The purpose of this paper is to compute partition functions of q-state Potts model on two families of fractal lattices. Based on their self-similar structures...
