In this letter the synchronization of complex dynamical networks with fractional order chaotic nodes is studied. A fractional order controller for synchronization of complex network is presented. Some new sufficient synchronization criteria are proposed based on the Lyapunov stability theory and...

Dimensionality reduction is one of the most important methods to improve the efficiency of the techniques that are applied to the field of multivariate time series data mining. Due to multivariate time series with the variable-based and time-based dimensions, the reduction techniques must take...

The structure of return spillovers is examined by constructing Granger causality networks using daily closing prices of 20 developed markets from 2nd January 2006 to 31st December 2013. The data is properly aligned to take into account non-synchronous trading effects. The study of the resulting...

Real networks often exhibit nontrivial topological features that do not occur in random graphs. The need for synthesizing realistic networks has resulted in development of various network models. In this paper, we address the problem of selecting and calibrating the model that best fits a given...

In practice, complex systems often change over time, and the temporal characteristics of a complex network make their behavior difficult to predict. Traditional link prediction methods based on structural similarity are good for mining underlying information from static networks, but do not...

Despite recent developments in management theory, maintaining a manufacturing schedule remains difficult because of production delays and fluctuations in demand and supply of materials. The response of manufacturing systems to such disruptions to dynamic behavior has been rarely studied. To...

In the present report thermal entanglement between two-coupled two-level atoms as two identical qubits inside a single mode lossless cavity, filled with a centrosymmetric medium, is investigated. In the presence of the centrosymmetric medium, photonic cavity mode couples with itself via the...

For a double-well potential consisting of a truncated quartic potential and a truncated harmonic potential, the inter-well escape rates of Lévy particles are investigated numerically, and analytically for the Cauchy case, with focus on the former. The escape rate of Lévy particles from the...

We develop a hydrodynamic formulation of fractional fluctuations in a viscoelastic liquid whose longitudinal modulus is a scalar and only depends on time. The method is based on the introduction of fractional time derivatives in the hydrodynamic equations due to the viscoelastic memory. Coupled...

Academia takes interest in cyclicality of real estate market. Compared to various findings on housing cycles, no literature takes insight into the cycles of securitized property markets. To address the issue, a nonlinear model is developed to probe into the characteristics of cycles in global...
