In early 2008, an unexpected ice storm hits southern China, severely affected the subtropical forest ecosystems. We used the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer products of Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) corroborated with information gathered from field investigations to analyze the...

Motivated by how transaction amount constrain trading volume and price volatility in stock market, we, in this paper, study the relation between volume and price if amount of transaction is given. We find that accumulative trading volume gradually emerges a kurtosis near the price mean value...

In society, many problems can be understood as multitasking process with multiplayer (MPM). Choosing different strategies or different orders in processing tasks, an individual will spend a different amount of time to complete all the tasks. Therefore, a good strategy or a good order can help an...

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...

By making use of two observing facts for many natural and social networks, i.e., the nodes’ diversity, and the disassortative (or assortative) properties for biological and technological (or social) networks, a simple and elegant model with three kinds of nodes and deterministic selective...

The optimal information feedback has a significant effect on many socioeconomic systems like stock market and traffic systems aiming to make full use of resources. In this paper, we studied dynamics of traffic flow with real-time information provided and the influence of a feedback strategy...

In this paper, we study an aspiration-induced migration model, in which each individual plays the prisoner’s dilemma game with those being within a circle of radius r centered on himself/herself. An individual will migrate to a randomly chosen place with the velocity v if his/her payoff is...

Heritability is ubiquitous within most real biological or social systems. A heritable trait is most simply an offspring’s trait that resembles the parent’s corresponding trait, which can be fitness, strategy, or the way of strategy adoption for evolutionary games. Here we study the effects...

In this paper, we study the capacity of a highway with two on-ramps by using a cellular automata traffic flow model. We investigate how to improve the system capacity by assigning traffic flow to the two ramps. The system phase diagram is presented and different regions are classified. It is...

In recent years, the well-developed Vicsek model has attracted more and more attention. Unfortunately, in-depth research on its convergence speed is not yet completed. In this paper, we investigate some key factors governing the convergence speed of the Vicsek model with the assistance of...
