Self-adaptive dynamics occurs in many physical systems such as socio-economics, neuroscience, or biophysics. We formalize a self-adaptive modeling approach, where adaptation takes place within a set of strategies based on the history of the…
Changes in magnetic critical behaviour of quenched structurally-disordered magnets are usually exemplified in experiments and in MC simulations by diluted systems consisting of magnetic and non-magnetic components. By our study we aim to…
The robustness of dynamical properties of neuronal networks against structural damages is a central problem in computational and experimental neuroscience. Research has shown that the cortical network of a healthy brain works near a…
The small-world effect is a universal feature used to explain many different phenomena like percolation, diffusion, and consensus. Starting from any regular lattice of $N$ sites, the small-world effect can be attained by rewiring randomly…
Low-connectivity polymer networks were recently found to behave auxetically when subjected to small tensions, that is, their Poisson's ratio $\nu$ becomes negative. In addition, for specific state points, numerical simulations revealed that…
In real-world applications, observations are often constrained to a small fraction of a system. Such spatial subsampling can be caused by the inaccessibility or the sheer size of the system, and cannot be overcome by longer sampling.…
The equilibrium ensemble approach to disordered systems is used to investigate the critical behaviour of the two dimensional Ising model in presence of quenched random site dilution. The numerical transfer matrix technique in semi- infinite…
A model for the spread of an infection is analyzed for different population structures. The interactions within the population are described by small world networks, ranging from ordered lattices to random graphs. For the more ordered…
We analyze the non-equilibrium order-disorder transition of Axelrod's model of social interaction in several complex networks. In a small world network, we find a transition between an ordered homogeneous state and a disordered state. The…
We numerically investigate the growth of the entanglement entropy S_{ent}(t) in time t---after a global quench from a product state---in quantum chains with various kinds of disorder. The main focus is, in particular, on fermionic chains…
We use scale invariant scattering theory to exactly determine the lines of renormalization group fixed points for $O(N)$-symmetric models with quenched disorder in two dimensions. Random fixed points are characterized by two disorder…
Massively parallel recordings of spiking activity in cortical networks show that covariances vary widely across pairs of neurons. Their low average is well understood, but an explanation for the wide distribution in relation to the static…
Recent results from statistical physics show that large classes of complex networks, both man-made and of natural origin, are characterized by high clustering properties yet strikingly short path lengths between pairs of nodes. This class…
We analyze the phenomenon of stochastic resonance in an Ising-like system on a small-world network. The system, which is subject to the combined action of noise and an external modulation, can be interpreted as a stylized model of opinion…
We introduce an exact replica method for the study of critical systems with quenched bond randomness in two dimensions. For the $q$-state Potts model we show that a line of renormalization group fixed points interpolates from weak to strong…
Randomness is known to affect the dynamical behaviour of many systems to a large extent. In this paper we investigate how the nature of randomness affects the dynamics in a zero temperature quench of Ising model on two types of random…

Dimension in physical systems determines universal properties at criticality. Yet, the impact of structural perturbations on dimensionality remains largely unexplored. Here, we characterize the attraction basins of structural fixed points…
Let Sn denote the network of all RNA secondary structures of length n, in which undirected edges exist between structures s, t such that t is obtained from s by the addition, removal or shift of a single base pair. Using context-free…
We consider the Ising model on a small-world network, where the long-range interaction strength $J_2$ is in general different from the local interaction strength $J_1$, and examine its relaxation behaviors as well as phase transitions. As…
