The evolution of cooperation is studied in lattice-structured populations, in which each individual who adopts one of the following strategies ‘always defect’ (ALLD), ‘tit-for-tat’ (TFT), and ‘always cooperate’ (ALLC) plays the repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma game with its neighbors...

We investigate by mean-field analysis and extensive simulations the effects of social impact on epidemic spreading in various typical networks with two types of nodes: active nodes and passive nodes, of which the behavior patterns are modeled according to the social impact theory. In this study,...

One of the purposes of pedestrian studies is to evaluate the effects of a proposed program on the pedestrian facilities before its implementation. In order to evaluate the level of service (LOS) of a pedestrian facility, a microscopic model is built to simulate the process of pedestrian crossing...

The small-world property, vertices are highly clustered yet the path length between them is small, has been widely studied in unweighted graphs. In many real-world networks, the connections have associated weights that represent the strength of the interactions among vertices. This important...

This paper focuses on human behavior in web surfing during the special stage called Flash Crowd (FC) period. Some statistical properties of human behavior are investigated. A moving approximate entropy (ApEn) method is provided to precisely locate the FC stage at first. Then the multiscale...

With the rapid development of the Internet and the promotion of mobile Internet, microblogs have become a major source and route of transmission for public opinion, including burst topics that are caused by emergencies. To facilitate real time mining of a large range of burst topics, in this...

Three types of two bright bound solitons with increasing coherence are investigated in the Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) with the exponentially time-dependent interparticle interaction in an expulsive parabolic potential. Two methods are provided with symbolic computation to improve the...
