Abstract

We present a model for growing information networks where the ageing of a node depends on the time at which it entered the network and on the last time it was cited. The model is shown to undergo a transition from a small-world to large-world network. The degree distribution may exhibit very different shapes depending on the model parameters, e.g. delta-peaked, exponential or power-law tailed distributions.

CrowdEgress: A Multi-Agent Simulation Platform for Pedestrian Crowd

This article introduces a simulation platform to study complex crowd behavior in social context. The agent-based model is extended based on the social force model, and it mainly describes how agents interact with each other, and also with surrounding facilities such as walls, doors and exits. The simulation platform is compatible to FDS+Evac, and the input data in FDS+Evac could be imported into our simulation platform to create single-floor compartment geometry, and a flow solver is used to generate the roadmap towards exits. Most importantly, we plan to integrate advanced social and psychological theory into our simulation platform, especially investigating human behavior in emergency evacuation,such as pre-evacuation behavior, exit-selection activities, social group and herding effect and so forth.

The distribution of violent event and interevent times in conflicts

Ongoing violent conflicts at all scales are interrupted by lulls without violence. Studies of interevent times found power-law distributions, based on coarse-grained data with a resolution of days or longer. Fine-grained data with a resolution of seconds or shorter is rare. Here, interevent times in violent conflicts are represented as multiplicative processes, and video-recorded street fights are used as fine grained data. For multiplicative processes, a mathematical theorem predicts that coarse grained data are power-law distributed, but fine grained data are lognormal. To the street violence data, however, the lognormal does not fit better than the power law (and vice versa), although the lognormal covers more data. Violent events, by contrast, take much energy and their durations are shorter, hence their distribution is better approximated by an exponential.

Generalized Discrete Fractal Dimensions of Graph Families

Quantifying the self-similarity of complex networks via discrete fractal dimensions is a fundamental problem in network science. In this paper, we investigate some general fractal dimensions of graph families based on q-energy and Rényi entropy. We first establish several bounds for the energy, and then discuss the monotonicity, measure invariance of the dimensions, as well as some concrete graph families.
