We investigate the cluster behavior of financial markets within the framework of a model based on a scale-free network. In this model, a cluster is formed by connected agents that are in the same state. The cumulative distribution of clusters is found to be a power-law. We find that the...

We study the effects arisen from the punishment in an evolutionary complementarity game. Each round one member of population “buyers” deals with a randomly chosen member of population “sellers”. When the buyer's offer is greater than the seller's, a deal is done and both players are...

We investigate the statistical properties of the empirical data taken from the Chinese stock market during the time period from January, 2006 to July, 2007. By using the methods of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and calculating correlation coefficients, we acquire the evidence of strong...

This work is a modeling of evolutionary networks embedded in one or two dimensional configuration space. The evolution is based on two attachments depending on degree and spatial distance. The probability for a new node n to connect with a previous node i at distance rni follows...

We present a detailed, empirical analysis of the statistical properties of the China Railway Network (CRN) consisting of 3915 nodes (train stations) and 22259 edges (railways). Based on this, CRN displays two explicit features already observed in numerous real-world and artificial networks. One...

We investigate three different approaches for fitting the degree distributions of China-, US- and the composite China+US air network, in order to reveal the nature of such distributions and the potential theoretical background on which they are based. Our first approach is the fitting with...

The first-passage problem is an important issue in the theory of dynamical systems; it determines whether the system is safe and reliable or destroyed. Therefore, taking a suitable force to control first-passage failure is very significant for such systems. In this paper, we study the...

It is shown that a small system in thermodynamic equilibrium with a finite thermostat can have a q-exponential probability distribution which closely depends on the energy nonextensivity and the particle number of the thermostat. The distribution function will reduce to the exponential one at...

We introduce and study an evolutionary complementarity game where in each round a player of population 1 is paired with a member of population 2. The game is symmetric, and each player tries to obtain an advantageous deal, but when one of them pushes too hard, no deal at all can be concluded,...

Dimer statistics is a central problem in statistical physics. In this paper the enumerations of close-packed dimers of honeycomb lattices on Klein bottle, Möbius strip and cylinder are considered. By establishing a Pfaffian orientation or a crossing orientation, and then computing the...
