Much has been written about the golden ratio $\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ and this strange number appears mysteriously in many mathematical calculations. In this article, we review the appearance of this number in the graph theory. More…
It is well-known that digital $(t,m,s)$-nets and $(\Tfett,s)$-sequences over a finite field have excellent properties when they are used as underlying nodes in quasi-Monte Carlo integration rules. One very general sub-class of digital nets…
A golden-ratio-based rectangular tiling of the first quadrant of the Euclidean plane is constructed by drawing vertical and horizontal grid lines which are located at all even powers of $\phi$ along one axis, and at all odd powers of $\phi$…
Motivated by the study of the crossing number of graphs, it is shown that, for trees, the sum of the products of the degrees of the end-vertices of all edges has an upper bound in terms of the sum of all vertex degrees to the power of…
Complex systems, ranging from soft materials to wireless communication, are often organised as random geometric networks in which nodes and edges evenly fill up the volume of some space. Studying such networks is difficult because they…
In this work we construct many sequences $S=S^\Box_{b,d}$, or $S=S^\boxplus_{b,d}$ in the $d$--dimensional unit hypercube, which for $d=1$ are (generalized) van der Corput sequences or Niederreiter's $(0,1)$-sequences in base $b$…
The study of random graphs and networks had an explosive development in the last couple of decades. Meanwhile, techniques for the statistical analysis of sequences of networks were less developed. In this paper we focus on networks…
A model based on first-degree family relations network is used to describe the wealth distribution in societies. The network structure is not a-priori introduced in the model, it is generated in parallel with the wealth values through…
The class of $(t,m,s)$-nets and $(t,s)$-sequences, introduced in their most general form by Niederreiter, are important examples of point sets and sequences that are commonly used in quasi-Monte Carlo algorithms for integration and…
The design of uniformly spread sequences on $[0,1)$ has been extensively studied since the work of Weyl and van der Corput in the early $20^{\text{th}}$ century. The current best sequences are based on the Kronecker sequence with golden…
It is conjectured that there is a converging sequence of some generalized Fibonacci ratios, given the difference between consecutive ratios, such as the Golden Ratio, $\varphi^1$, and the next golden ratio $\varphi^2$. Moreover, the graphic…
In this paper we associate to any $LS$-sequence of partitions ${\rho_{L,S}^n}$ the corresponding $LS$-sequence of points ${\xi_{L,S}^n}$ obtained reordering the points of each partition with an explicit algorithm. The procedure begins with…
One of the first steps in applications of statistical network analysis is frequently to produce summary charts of important features of the network. Many of these features take the form of sequences of graph statistics counting the number…
We introduce a hierachy of equivalence relations on the set of separated nets of a given Euclidean space, indexed by concave increasing functions $\phi\colon (0,\infty)\to(0,\infty)$. Two separated nets are called $\phi$-displacement…
In the base phi representation any natural number is written uniquely as a sum powers of the golden mean with digits 0 and 1, where one requires that the product of two consecutive digits is always 0. In this paper we give precise…
This paper analyzes a semiparametric model of network formation in the presence of unobserved agent-specific heterogeneity. The objective is to identify and estimate the preference parameters associated with homophily on observed attributes…
In 1931, Van der Corput showed that if for each positive integer $s$, the sequence $\{x_{n+s}-x_n\}$ is uniformly distributed (mod 1), then the sequence $x_n$ is uniformly distributed (mod 1). The converse of above result is surprisingly…
We present the pattern underlying some of the properties of natural numbers, using the framework of complex networks. The network used is a divisibility network in which each node has a fixed identity as one of the natural numbers and the…
We investigate the topological structure of the decimal expansions of the three famous naturally occurring irrational numbers, $\pi$, $e$, and golden ratio, by explicitly calculating the diversity of the pair distributions of the ten digits…
Given F:[a,b]^k\to [a,b] and a nonconstant X_0 with P(X_0\in [a,b])=1, define the hierarchical sequence of random variables {X_n}_{n\ge 0} by X_{n+1}=F(X_{n,1},...,X_{n,k}), where X_{n,i} are i.i.d. as X_n. Such sequences arise from…
