The way in which different types of dynamics unfold in complex networks is intrinsically related to the propagation of activation along nodes, which is strongly affected by the network connectivity. In this work we investigate to which…
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…
Complex networks in different areas exhibit degree distributions with heavy upper tail. A preferential attachment mechanism in a growth process produces a graph with this feature. We herein investigate a variant of the simple preferential…
Models based on preferential attachment have had much success in reproducing the power law degree distributions which seem ubiquitous in both natural and engineered systems. Here, rather than assuming preferential attachment, we give an…
We use the law of total variance to generate multiple expressions for the posterior predictive variance in Bayesian hierarchical models. These expressions are sums of terms involving conditional expectations and conditional variances. Since…
We present a detailed numerical analysis of the modified version of a conservative self-organized extremal model introduced by Pianegonda et. al. for the distribution of wealth of the people in a society. Here the trading process has been…
We study by Monte Carlo simulations the short-time exponent $\theta$ in an antiferromagnetic Ising system for which the magnetisation is conserved but the sublattice magnetisation (which is the order parameter in this case) is not. This…
In network evolution, the effect of aging is universal: in scientific collaboration network, scientists have a finite time span of being active; in movie actors network, once popular stars are retiring from stage; devices on the Internet…
Aggregation processes with an arbitrary number of conserved quantities are investigated. On the mean-field level, an exact solution for the size distribution is obtained. The asymptotic form of this solution exhibits nontrivial ``double''…
We investigate opinion dynamics in multi-agent networks when a bias toward one of two possible opinions exists; for example, reflecting a status quo vs a superior alternative. Starting with all agents sharing an initial opinion representing…
Preferential attachment drives the evolution of many complex networks. Its analytical studies mostly consider the simplest case of a network that grows uniformly in time despite the accelerating growth of many real networks. Motivated by…
We introduce a 2-state opinion dynamics model where agents evolve by majority rule. In each update, a group of agents is specified whose members then all adopt the local majority state. In the mean-field limit, where a group consists of…
The one-dimensional long-range voter model, where an agent takes the opinion of another at distance $r$ with probability $\propto r^{-\alpha}$, is studied analytically. The model displays rich and diverse features as $\alpha$ is changed.…
Recently observed scaling in the random-anisotropy model of amorphous or sintered ferromagnets is derived by an alternative method and extended for studying the dynamical properties in terms of the Landau-Lifshitz equations for spin blocks.…
In this paper, we present a simple model of scale-free networks that incorporates both preferential & random attachment and anti-preferential & random deletion at each time step. We derive the degree distribution analytically and show that…
We propose a growing network model that consists of two tunable mechanisms: growth by merging modules which are represented as complete graphs and a fitness-driven preferential attachment. Our model exhibits the three prominent statistical…
We present a general model for the growth of weighted networks in which the structural growth is coupled with the edges' weight dynamical evolution. The model is based on a simple weight-driven dynamics and a weights' reinforcement…
We investigate a variation of the classical voter model in which the set of influencing agents depends on an individual's current opinion. The initial population consists of a random sample of equally sized sub-populations for each state,…
On directed Barabasi-Albert networks with two and seven neighbours selected by each added site, the Ising model with spin S=1/2 was seen not to show a spontaneous magnetisation. Instead, the decay time for flipping of the magnetisation…
A most debated topic of the last years is whether simple statistical physics models can explain collective features of social dynamics. A necessary step in this line of endeavour is to find regularities in data referring to large scale…
