In this work, we investigate how the random long-range interactions (RLRIs) affect the directed transport properties of inertial particles in networks. The particles are driven by periodic time-dependent external forces, under the influence of an asymmetric periodic potential of the inertial...

In recent years several global blackouts have drawn a lot of attention to security problems in electric power transmission systems. Here we analyze the cascading failure in complex power networks based on the local preferential redistribution rule of the broken node’s load, where the weight of...

Two huge blackouts, occurred separately on 30 and 31 July 2012 in India, spread over half the country when three of its five regional grids collapsed, leaving hundreds of millions of people without government-supplied electricity and ringing once again alarm bells with security problems in...

With the rapid development of information networks, negative impacts of rumor propagation become more serious. Nowadays, knowing the mechanisms of rumor propagation and having an efficient official rumor refutation plan play very important roles in reducing losses and ensuring social safety. In...

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...
