In this letter the synchronization of complex dynamical networks with fractional order chaotic nodes is studied. A fractional order controller for synchronization of complex network is presented. Some new sufficient synchronization criteria are proposed based on the Lyapunov stability theory and...

Studying the function call graphs in complex software can provide significant insights into the software evolution process. We found node in- and out-degree distributions asymmetric in the call graphs of 223 versions of Linux kernel modules (V1.1.0 to V2.4.35). Nodes newly introduced in these...

In this paper, we propose a novel Euclidean distance preferred model yielding small-world networks in the Euclidean space, on which the epidemics dynamics is investigated. A novel local region immunization strategy is proposed to suppress the epidemic prevalence on the Euclidean small-world...

This paper presents a numerical stability analysis of a multi-phase car-following model under mild to severe disturbances. The results show that local stability was always conformed. An asymptotically unstable region was found for traffic in congested states. One of the previously calibrated...

Synchronization in different types of weighted networks based on a scale-free weighted network model is investigated. It has been argued that heterogeneity suppresses synchronization in unweighted networks [T. Nishikawa, A.E. Motter, Y.C. Lai, F.C. Hoppensteadt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 (2003)...

This paper investigates the role of asymmetrical degree-dependent weighted couplings in synchronization of a network of Kuramoto oscillators, where the conditions of coupling criticality for the onset of phase synchronization in degree-weighted complex networks are arrived at. The numerical...

We propose and study a novel evolving network model with the new concept of local-world connectivity, which exists in many physical complex networks. The local-world evolving network model represents a transition between power-law and exponential scaling, while the Barabási–Albert scale-free...

In order to describe the community structure upon the dynamical evolution of complex networks, we propose a new community based evolving network (CBEN) model having increasing communities with preferential mechanisms of both community sizes and node degrees, whose cumulative distribution and raw...

The synchrony preferential mechanism in complex networks is investigated in a novel synchronization-preferential growing network model proposed. Compared with the BA scale-free model [A.L. Barabási, H. Jeong, R. Albert, Physica A 272 (1999) 173.] and the synchronization-optimal network model...

This paper presents a study of variations of fuel consumption and emissions of vehicles due to random street crossings of pedestrians. The pedestrian and vehicle movement models as well as the interaction model between the two entities are presented. Extensive numerical simulations of single and...
