Rapid self-organised initiation of ad hoc sensor networks close above the percolation threshold

Korsnes, Reinert - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 389 (2010) 14, pp. 2841-2848

This work shows potentials for rapid self-organisation of sensor networks where nodes collaborate to relay messages to a common data collecting unit (sink node). The study problem is, in the sense of graph theory, to find a shortest path tree spanning a weighted graph. This is a well-studied...

Local Network Effects and Complex Network Structure

Sundararajan, Arun - In: The B.E. Journal of Theoretical Economics 7 (2008) 1

This paper presents a model of local network effects in which agents connected in a social network each value the adoption of a product by a heterogeneous subset of other agents in their neighborhood, and have incomplete information about the structure and strength of adoption complementarities...

Global vs. Local Information in (Anti-)Coordination Problems with Imitators

Boncinelli, Leonardo - In: Topics in Theoretical Economics 8 (2008) 1, pp. 1439-1439

In this paper I apply stochastic stability to compare the effect on welfare of local information and global information … local information, the sets of observable agents are choice-dependent. The evaluation of information in terms of welfare …

From unweighted to weighted networks with local information

Sun, Xuelian; Feng, Enmin; Li, Jianfeng - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 385 (2007) 1, pp. 370-378

In this paper, we analyze an evolving model with local information which can generate a class of networks by choosing … because the distribution of the edge weight can be widely tuned. With the increase in the local information, the degree …

Optimal Collective Contract Without Peer Monitoring

Daripa, Arup - EconWPA - 2005

inefficient. The literature emphasizes improvements through non-market organizations that harness local information through peer … monitoring. I investigate the complementary question of designing a credit mechanism when local information is limited, disabling … contracts. Finally, the presence of even weak local information implies that the mechanism cannot be successfully used by formal …

Minority game with peer pressure

Chau, H.F; Chow, F.K; Ho, K.H - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 332 (2004) C, pp. 483-495

To study the interplay between global market choice and local peer pressure, we construct a minority-game-like econophysical model. In this so-called networked minority game model, every selfish player uses both the historical minority choice of the population and the historical choice of one's...
