Our study of a basic model for incompressible two-phase flows with phase transitions consistent with thermodynamics in the case of constant but non-equal densities of the phases, begun by the first two authors is continued. We extend our…

A network as a substrate for dynamic processes may have its own dynamics. We propose a model for networks which evolve together with diffusing particles through a coupled dynamics, and investigate emerging structural property. The model…

We consider nonequilibrium phase transitions in weighted scale-free networks, in which highly connected nodes, which are created earlier in time are partially immunized. For epidemic spreading we solve the dynamical mean-field equations and…

We present a detailed analytical study of the $A+A\to\emptyset$ diffusion-annihilation process in complex networks. By means of microscopic arguments, we derive a set of rate equations for the density of $A$ particles in vertices of a given…

It is discussed how phase transitions of first order (with phase separation and surface tension), continuous transitions and (multi)-critical points can be defined and classified for finite systems from the topology of the energy surface…

Percolation on complex networks is used both as a model for dynamics on networks, such as network robustness or epidemic spreading, and as a benchmark for our models of networks, where our ability to predict percolation measures our ability…

We investigate systems of interacting stochastic differential equations with two kinds of heterogeneity: one originating from different weights of the linkages, and one concerning their asymptotic relevance when the system becomes large. To…
