This work introduces a network model of an interbank market based on interbank credit lending relationships. It generates some network features identified through empirical analysis. The critical issue to construct an interbank network is to decide the edges among banks, which is realized in...

This paper proposes how to build a syntactic network based on syntactic theory and presents some statistical properties of Chinese syntactic dependency networks based on two Chinese treebanks with different genres. The results show that the two syntactic networks are small-world networks, and...

In this article, we propose an octahedral Koch network exhibiting abundant new properties compared to the triangular Koch network. Analytical expressions for the degree distribution, clustering coefficient, and average path length are presented. The scale-free feature and small-world property of...

It is well known that flexibility can be created in manufacturing and service operations by using multipurpose production sources such as cross-trained labor, flexible machines, or flexible factories. We focus on flexible service centers, such as inbound call centers with cross-trained agents,...

We show how appropriate rewiring with the aid of Metropolis Monte Carlo computational experiments can be exploited to create network topologies possessing prescribed values of the average path length (APL) while keeping the same connectivity degree and clustering coefficient distributions. Using...

With the help of the recurrence relations derived from the self-similar structure, we obtain the closed-form solution for the average path length of a class of scale-free fractal hierarchical lattices (HLs) with a general parameter q, which are simultaneously scale-free, self-similar and...

We model the evolution of infrastructure networks as a preferential attachment process. We assume that geographical distance and country borders provide barriers to link formation in infrastructure networks. The model is validated against empirical data on the European Internet infrastructure...

We study the synchronization of Kuramoto oscillators on small-world networks. Firstly, we analyze the impact of coupling strength, rewiring probability and average degree of networks on the phase synchronization in weak coupled system. Then, by increasing the coupling strength, we find an...

Small-world networks are ubiquitous in real-life systems. Most previous models of small-world networks are stochastic. The randomness makes it more difficult to gain a visual understanding on how do different nodes of networks interact with each other and is not appropriate for communication...

In this paper, we propose a novel Euclidean distance preferred model yielding small-world networks in the Euclidean space, on which the epidemics dynamics is investigated. A novel local region immunization strategy is proposed to suppress the epidemic prevalence on the Euclidean small-world...
