A bipartite producer-consumer network is constructed to describe the industrial structure. The edges from consumer to producer represent the choices of the consumer for the final products and the degree of producer can represent its market share. So the size distribution of firms can be...

Analysis of word frequency have historically used data that included English, French, or other language, data typically described by Zipf's law. Using data on traditional and modern Chinese literatures, we show here that Chinese character frequency stroked Zipf's law based on literature before...

This volume deals with nonlinear dynamic modelling in the social sciences. In addition to theoretical and methodological contributions, some papers offer precious insights for the understanding of non-equilibrium dynamics underlying managerial and technological innovation problems, regional and...

Phenomenon of asymmetry between odd and even node weight distribution in some complex networks, such as public transportation networks and Internet, is presented. Reasons related to this phenomenon are summarized, i.e., (1) edges are solid connections between nodes which are embedded in real...

Inspired by scientific collaboration networks (SCN), especially our empirical analysis of econophysicists network, an evolutionary model for weighted networks is proposed. Besides a new vertex added in at every time step, old vertices can also attempt to build up new links, or to reconnect the...
