We show that the structure of a growing tree preserves an information on the shape of an initial graph. For the exponential trees, evidence of this kind of memory is provided by means of the iterative equations, derived for the moments of the node–node distance distribution. Numerical...

Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people in the world, and it is regarded as one of the most important languages. In this paper, we explore the statistical properties of Chinese language networks (CLNs) within the framework of complex network theory. Based on one of the largest Chinese...

As information technology has advanced, people are turning to electronic media more frequently for communication, and social relationships are increasingly found on online channels. However, there is very limited knowledge about the actual evolution of the online social networks. In this paper,...

In this paper, we present a simple rule which assigns fitness to each edge to generate random pseudofractal networks (RPNs). This RPN model is both scale-free and small-world. We obtain the theoretical results that the power-law exponent is γ=2+1/(1+α) for the tunable parameter α-1, and that...

The Naming Game is an agent-based model where individuals communicate to name an initially unnamed object. On a large class of networks continual pairwise interactions lead the system to an ultimate consensus state, in which agents onverge on a globally shared name. Soon after the introduction...

We study the Markov property of processes described by generalized Fokker–Planck equations that are nonlinear with respect to probability densities such as mean field Fokker–Planck equations and Fokker–Planck equations related to generalized thermostatistics. We show that their transient...

We study a novel five-species system on two-dimensional lattices when each species have two superior and two inferior partners. Here we simplify the huge parameter space of predation probability to only two parameters. Both of Monte Carlo simulation and Mean Field Theory reveal that two of...

The dynamical origin of opinion polarization in the real world is an interesting topic that physical scientists may help to understand. To properly model the dynamics, the theory must be fully compatible with findings by social psychologists on microscopic opinion change. Here we introduce a...
