In this paper, the diffusion entropy technique is applied to investigate the scaling behavior of stride interval fluctuations of human gait. The scaling behaviors of the stride interval of human walking at norm, slow, and fast rate are similar; with the scale-invariance exponents in the interval...

As a typical representation of complex systems studied relatively thoroughly, financial market presents some special details, such as its nonconservation and opinions’ spreading. In this model, agents congregate to form some clusters, which may grow or collapse with the evolution of the...

A parsimonious percolation model for stock market is proposed, of which the avalanche dynamics agree with the real-life one as well. We have also investigated how the interaction parameter p affects the price dynamics. Simulation results about the formation of the bullish/bearish market and...

Inspired by the local minority game, we propose a network Boolean game and investigate its dynamical properties on scale-free networks. The system can self-organize to a stable state with better performance than the random choice game, although only the local information is available to each...

By using the random interchanging algorithm, we investigate the relations between average distance, standard deviation of degree distribution and synchronizability of complex networks. We find that both increasing the average distance and magnifying the degree deviation will make the network...

In this paper, we propose an evolutionary model for weighted networks by introducing an age-based mutual selection mechanism. Our model generates power-law distributions of degree, weight, and strength, which are confirmed by analytical predictions and are consistent with real observations. The...

The interactions between investors and investments are of significant importance to understand the dynamics of financial markets. An evolutionary model is proposed to investigate the dynamic behaviors of investors and investments in a market ecology. The investors are divided into two groups,...

The financial market and turbulence have been broadly compared on account of the same quantitative methods and several common stylized facts they shared. In this paper, the She-Leveque (SL) hierarchy, proposed to explain the anomalous scaling exponents deviated from Kolmogorov monofractal...

By making use of two observing facts for many natural and social networks, i.e., the nodes’ diversity, and the disassortative (or assortative) properties for biological and technological (or social) networks, a simple and elegant model with three kinds of nodes and deterministic selective...

In recent years, the well-developed Vicsek model has attracted more and more attention. Unfortunately, in-depth research on its convergence speed is not yet completed. In this paper, we investigate some key factors governing the convergence speed of the Vicsek model with the assistance of...
