What do the behavior of monkeys in captivity and the financial system have in common? The nodes in such social systems relate to each other through multiple and keystone networks, not just one network. Each network in the system has its own topology, and the interactions among the system’s...

In this paper, an attempt has been made to review the applications of artificial neural networks (ANN) for energy and exergy analysis of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) systems. The studies reported are categorized into eight groups as follows: (i) vapour compression...

For the study of citation networks, a challenging problem is modeling the high clustering. Existing studies indicate that the promising way to model the high clustering is a copying strategy, i.e., a paper copies the references of its neighbor as its own references. However, the line of models...

Extending a recent work (Pang et al., in press) pertaining to a simple single-bottleneck model, this paper is the first of a two-part research wherein we undertake a mathematically rigorous study of the continuous-time dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) problem using the recently introduced...

Traffic holding-back is considered an undesirable issue in dynamic traffic assignment since the vehicles are artificially held back on links in spite of the availability of downstream capacity. Holding-back occurs naturally in some system optimal dynamic traffic assignment models. In this paper,...
