We introduce novel sets of measures with the goal of describing dynamical properties of force networks in dense particulate systems. The presented approach is based on persistent homology and allows for extracting precise, quantitative…
We study the dynamics of strings by means of a distribution function f(A, B, x, t) defined on a 9+1D phase space, where A and B are the correlation vectors of right- and left-moving waves. We derive a transport equation (an analogous to…
Models of strategy evolution on static networks help us understand how population structure can promote the spread of traits like cooperation. One key mechanism is the formation of altruistic spatial clusters, where neighbors of a…
We present the distance matrix evolution for different types of networks: exponential, scale-free and classical random ones. Statistical properties of these matrices are discussed as well as topological features of the networks. Numerical…
In this paper, we propose an evolving network model growing fast in units of module, based on the analysis of the evolution characteristics in real complex networks. Each module is a small-world network containing several interconnected…
Highly nonlinear behavior of a system of discrete sites on a lattice is observed when a specific feedback loop is introduced into models employing coupled map lattices, quantum cellular automata, or the real-valued analogues of the latter.…
A novel mechanism for the production of a cosmic network of fundamental superstrings based on a time-varying string tension has been recently proposed in the context of a kinating background driven by the volume modulus of string…
The word-stock of a language is a complex dynamical system in which words can be created, evolve, and become extinct. Even more dynamic are the short-term fluctuations in word usage by individuals in a population. Building on the recent…
In this paper we investigate networks whose evolution is governed by the interaction of a random assembly process and an optimization process. In the first process, new nodes are added one at a time and form connections to randomly selected…
Networks are important representations in computer science to communicate structural aspects of a given system of interacting components. The evolution of a network has several topological properties that can provide us information on the…
The complex configurations of dynamic friction patterns-regarding real time contact areas- are transformed into appropriate networks. With this transformation of a system to network space, many properties can be inferred about the structure…
We investigate numerically the configurational statistics of strings. The algorithm models an ensemble of global $U(1)$ cosmic strings, or equivalently vortices in superfluid $^4$He. We use a new method which avoids the specification of…
How does the amplitude of a wiggle on a string change when the string is stretched? We answer this question for both longitudinal and transverse wiggles and for arbitrary equation of state, {\it i.e.}, for arbitrary relation between the…
We investigate the behaviour of (p,q) string networks, focusing on two aspects: (1) modelling more realistic (p,q) string networks than the Z_N networks used so far and (2) investigating the effect of long-range interactions on the…
We compute the power spectrum of the stochastic gravitational wave background generated by cosmic string networks described by the Velocity-Dependent One-Scale (VOS) model, for a wide range of macroscopic and microscopic parameters. The VOS…
Motivated by results of Henry, Pralat and Zhang (PNAS 108.21 (2011): 8605-8610), we propose a general scheme for evolving spatial networks in order to reduce their total edge lengths. We study the properties of the equilbria of two networks…
A longitudinal social network evolves over time through the creation and/ or deletion of links among a set of actors (e.g. individuals or organizations). Longitudinal social networks are studied by network science and social science…
In light of recent discussions of the string landscape, it is essential to understand the degree to which string theory is predictive. We argue that it is unlikely that the landscape as a whole will exhibit unique correlations amongst…
We study the statistics of ecosystems with a variable number of co-evolving species. The species interact in two ways: by prey-predator relationships and by direct competition with similar kinds. The interaction coefficients change slowly…
We propose an extended local-world evolving network model including a triad formation step. In the process of network evolution, random fluctuation in the number of new edges is involved. We derive analytical expressions for degree…
