We described the average traffic congestion in several populous cities around the world from a new concept, namely landscape percolation. The ratio of the residential area size to road width is a fundamental parameter that controls the…

In the wake of the pandemic, the inadequacy of urban sidewalks to comply with social distancing remains untackled in academy. Beyond isolated efforts (from sidewalk widenings to car-free Open Streets), there is a need for a large-scale and…

The study of random graphs has become very popular for real-life network modeling such as social networks or financial networks. Inhomogeneous long-range percolation (or scale-free percolation) on the lattice $\mathbb Z^d$, $d\ge1$, is a…
