The cobweb-like network was constructed, and its structure properties and synchronizability were studied by numerical simulation and probability theory. For cobweb-like networks, the behaviors of structure properties with the adding probability are similar to those for the small-world network....

Random networks were generated with the random configuration model with prescribed truncated power-law degree distributions, parameterized by an exponent, an offset, and an exponential rolloff. As a model of an attack, each network had exactly one of its highest degree nodes removed, with the...

In binary choice between discrete outcome lotteries, an individual may prefer lottery L <Subscript>1</Subscript> to lottery L <Subscript>2</Subscript> when the probability that L <Subscript>1</Subscript> delivers a better outcome than L <Subscript>2</Subscript> is higher than the probability that L <Subscript>2</Subscript> delivers a better outcome than L <Subscript>1</Subscript>. Such a preference can be rationalized by three...</subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript>
