In this paper, a new topological approach for studying a sufficiently long random number sequence is proposed. By segmenting the sequence into groups of digits which represent the node identities while the undirected edges symbolize the adjacency between them, a network is constructed for...

In this paper, a new susceptible-infected-susceptible model with infective medium is proposed, which describes epidemics (e.g. malaria) transmitted by infective media (e.g. mosquitoes) on various complex networks. The dynamic behaviours of the model on a homogeneous network and a heterogenous...

Many social, technological, biological and economical systems are properly described by evolved network models. In this paper, a new evolving network model with the concept of physical position neighbourhood connectivity is proposed and studied. This concept exists in many real complex networks...

We propose describing a kind of cooperation–competition systems by node-weighted bipartite graphs. In such systems the nodes can be divided into two types. One expresses a kind of activities, organizations or events, named “acts”; and another expresses the “actors” participating in...

The history of trade is a progression from a pure barter system. A medium of exchange emerges autonomously in the market, a position currently occupied by money. We investigate an agent-based computational economics model consisting of interacting agents considering distinguishable properties of...

This paper presents a model of local network effects in which agents connected in a social network each value the adoption of a product by a heterogeneous subset of other agents in their neighborhood, and have incomplete information about the structure and strength of adoption complementarities...

In this work, we attempt to capture patterns of co-occurrence across vowel systems and at the same time figure out the nature of the force leading to the emergence of such patterns. For this purpose, we define a weighted network where the vowels are the nodes and an edge between two nodes (read...

In this paper, we investigate the effects of degree correlation on the controllability of undirected networks with different degree-mixing patterns based on simulation analysis. Considering random pinning, max-degree pinning and mix-degree pinning, some relevance factors on controllability such...
