Optimization with extremal dynamics for the traveling salesman problem

Chen, Yu-Wang; Lu, Yong-Zai; Chen, Peng - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 385 (2007) 1, pp. 115-123

By mapping the optimization problems to physical systems, the paper presents a general-purpose stochastic optimization …. As self-organized critical processes of extremal dynamics, the optimization dynamics successively updates the states of … those cities with high energy. Consequently, a near-optimal solution can be quickly obtained through the optimization …

Optimal traffic networks topology: A complex networks perspective

Wu, Jian-Jun; Gao, Zi-You; Sun, Hui-jun - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 387 (2008) 4, pp. 1025-1032

We investigate and analyse an optimal traffic network structure for resisting traffic congestion with different volumes of traffic. For this aim, we introduce a cost function and user-equilibrium assignment (UE) which ensures the flow balance on traffic systems. Our finding is that an optimal...

A stable and robust calibration scheme of the log-periodic power law model

Filimonov, V.; Sornette, D. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 392 (2013) 17, pp. 3698-3707

We present a simple transformation of the formulation of the log-periodic power law formula of the Johansen–Ledoit–Sornette (JLS) model of financial bubbles that reduces it to a function of only three nonlinear parameters. The transformation significantly decreases the complexity of the...

Statistics of stable marriages

Dzierzawa, Michael; Oméro, Marie-José - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 287 (2000) 1, pp. 321-333

In the stable marriage problem N men and N women have to be matched by pairs under the constraint that the resulting matching is stable. We study the statistical properties of stable matchings in the large N limit using both numerical and analytical methods. Generalizations of the model...

Beauty and distance in the stable marriage problem

Caldarelli, G.; Capocci, A. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 300 (2001) 1, pp. 325-331

The stable marriage problem has been introduced in order to describe a complex system where individuals attempt to optimise their own satisfaction, subject to mutually conflicting constraints. Due to the potential large applicability of such model to describe all the situation where different...
