Tourism destination networks are amongst the most complex dynamical systems, involving a myriad of human-made and natural resources. In this work we report a complex network-based systematic analysis of the Elba (Italy) tourism destination network, including the characterization of its structure...

Some phenomena are characterized by a non-trivial network dynamics exhibiting self-organized criticality or discontinuous transitions, coexistence and hysteresis. After a short review, we show that a similar approach suggests that social communities stabilized by network interactions may become...

We investigate course registration data of 18 semesters at a Korean University to portray the time evolution of students’ positions in the network of fellow students. Apart from being a study of the social positions of students, the present work is also an example of how large-scale, time...

In this study, we analyze the network effect in a model of a personal communication market, by using a multi-agent based simulation approach. We introduce into the simulation model complex network structures as the interaction patterns of agents. With complex network models, we investigate the...

Recently there has been a tremendous interest in models of networks with a power-law distribution of degree—so-called “scale-free networks.” It has been observed that such networks, normally, have extremely short path-lengths, scaling logarithmically or slower with system size. As an...

We analyze the correlations in patterns of trading for members of the Italian interbank trading platform e-MID. The trading strategy of a particular member institution is defined as the sequence of (intra-) daily net trading volumes within a certain semester. Based on this definition, we show...

The critical properties of the conserved-order-parameter (COP) version of the three-dimensional Ising model with zero magnetization were investigated by means of the Monte Carlo (MC) Wang–Landau algorithm. The study was carried out in appropriate restricted but dominant energy subspaces. The...

This paper deals with the derivation of a formula developed empirically in a previous article. The equation allows the calculation of the average electrical conductivity of two-component random media over the whole range of fraction and a wide range of resistivity ratio of the components....

This paper addresses the problem of finding analytical expressions describing the ground state properties of mixed Archimedean lattices over which a generalized Edwards–Anderson model (±J Ising model) is defined. A local frustration analysis is performed based on representative cells for...

The influence of random bond-dilution on the critical properties of the two-dimensional Ising model on a square lattice with periodic boundary conditions is presented using the Monte Carlo process with Wang–Landau sampling. The lattice linear size is L=20–140 and the concentration of the...
