In this work we explore degree assortativity in complex networks, and extend its usual definition beyond that of nearest neighbours. We apply this definition to model networks, and describe a rewiring algorithm that induces assortativity.…

We introduce a notion of computable randomness for infinite sequences that generalises the classical version in two important ways. First, our definition of computable randomness is associated with imprecise probability models, in the sense…

The extent of parallelization of a loop is largely determined by the dependences between its statements. While dependence free loops are fully parallelizable, those with loop carried dependences are not. Dependence distance is a measure of…
