The Potts model is a generalization of the Ising model with $Q>2$ components. In the fully connected ferromagnetic Potts model, a first-order phase transition is induced by varying thermal fluctuations. Therefore, the computational time…
The number of so-called invisible states which need to be added to the q-state Potts model to transmute its phase transition from continuous to first order has attracted recent attention. In the q=2 case, a Bragg-Williams, mean-field…
Phase transition in the two-dimensional $q$-state Potts model with random ferromagnetic couplings in the large-q limit is conjectured to be described by the isotropic version of the infinite randomness fixed point of the random…
We study the spreading of two mutually cooperative diseases on different network topologies, and with two microscopic realizations, both of which are stochastic versions of an SIR type model studied by us recently in mean field…
In two different classes of network models, namely, the Watts Strogatz type and the Euclidean type, subtle changes have been introduced in the randomness. In the Watts Strogatz type network, rewiring has been done in different ways and…
We introduce a new family of models for growing networks. In these networks new edges are attached preferentially to vertices with higher number of connections, and new vertices are created by already existing ones, inheriting part of their…
We present an exact solution of the q-state Potts model on a class of generalized Sierpinski fractal lattices. The model is shown to possess an ordered phase at low temperatures and a continuous transition to the high temperature disordered…
We re-examine a population model which exhibits a continuous absorbing phase transition which belongs to directed percolation in 1+1 dimensions and a first order transition in 2+1 dimensions and above. Studying the model on fractal…
Complex networks are everywhere. They appear for example in the form of biological networks, social networks, or computer networks and have been studied extensively. Efficient algorithms to solve problems on complex networks play a central…
A central concern of network operators is to estimate the probability of an incident that affects a significant part and thus may yield to a breakdown. We answer this question by modeling how a failure of either a node or an edge will…
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the degree statistics in models for growing networks where new nodes enter one at a time and attach to one earlier node according to a stochastic rule. The models with uniform attachment,…
We show how field theory yields the exact description of intermediate phases in the scaling limit of two-dimensional statistical systems at a first order phase transition point. The ability of a third phase to form an intermediate wetting…
It is known rigorously that the phase transition of the $q$-state ferromagnetic Potts model on the square lattice is second order for $q=4$. Despite this fact, some observables of the $q=4$ model show features of a first-order phase…
We present analytical results for the emerging structure of networks that evolve via a combination of growth (by node addition and random attachment) and contraction (by random node deletion). To this end we consider a network model in…
The phase transition in the q-state Potts model with homogeneous ferromagnetic couplings is strongly first order for large q, while is rounded in the presence of quenched disorder. Here we study this phenomenon on different two-dimensional…
We introduce an exponential random graph model for networks with a fixed degree distribution and with a tunable degree-degree correlation. We then investigate the nature of a percolation transition in the correlated network with the Poisson…
We propose a novel finite size scaling analysis for percolation transition observed in complex networks. While it is known that cooperative systems in growing networks often undergo an infinite order transition with inverted…
In the Constrained-degree percolation model on a graph $(\mathbb{V},\mathbb{E})$ there are a sequence, $(U_e)_{e\in\mathbb{E}}$, of i.i.d. random variables with distribution $U[0,1]$ and a positive integer $k$. Each bond $e$ tries to open…

The Zipf power law and its connection with the inhomogeneity of the system is investigated. We describe the statistical distributions of the domain masses in the Potts model near the temperature-induced phase transition. We found that the…
