In this paper, the delay probability of the original Nagel and Schreckenberg model is modified to simulate one-lane traffic flow. The delay probability of a vehicle depends on its corresponding gap. According to simulation results, it has been found that the structure of the fundamental diagram...

Using the cellular automaton traffic flow model, we investigate an unsignalized intersection which consists of two perpendicular one-lane roads. Both the roads cross at a point and the intersecting roads are cyclic. Each vehicle may pass or occupy the intersection where all the vehicles on both...

This paper studies phase diagrams of traffic states induced by the bottleneck of an unsignalized intersection which consists of two perpendicular one-lane roads. Parallel updates rules are employed for both roads. At the crossing point, in order to avoid colliding, the consideration of yield...

When planning for the evacuation guidance, how to efficiently set the trained evacuation leaders is an important problem which has great impact on the evacuation process. This paper investigates the effect of the number and positions of evacuation leaders on the evacuation dynamics in rooms with...

We propose and study a modified version of the evolutionary minority game consisting of a competing population. Agents in the population are repeatedly competing to be in a minority and they have a common strategy. Each agent has a parameter p characterizing the probability that she is following...

As a typical representation of complex systems studied relatively thoroughly, financial market presents some special details, such as its nonconservation and opinions’ spreading. In this model, agents congregate to form some clusters, which may grow or collapse with the evolution of the...

A simple model is proposed to mimic and study the evolution of interpersonal relationships in a student class. The small social group is simply assumed as an undirected and weighted graph, in which students are represented by vertices, and the depth of favor or disfavor between them are denoted...

In this paper, we propose a influence-based approach to investigate network-based recommendation systems. Different from the previous mass diffusion approach, we give a new expression of initial resource distribution and take into account the influence of resources associated with the receiver...

In this paper, we propose a novel method to compute the similarity between congeneric nodes in bipartite networks. Different from the standard cosine similarity, we take into account the influence of a node’s degree. Substituting this new definition of similarity for the standard cosine...

A parsimonious percolation model for stock market is proposed, of which the avalanche dynamics agree with the real-life one as well. We have also investigated how the interaction parameter p affects the price dynamics. Simulation results about the formation of the bullish/bearish market and...
