The Hyper Hexa-Cell topology; HHC for short; is a new interconnection network topology that has many attractive topological properties compared to other traditional topologies. There have been a number of studies in the literature on the HHC to explore the promising topological properties of...

The majority of cities in our world is not only connected through conventional physical infrastructure, but increasingly through modern digital infrastructure. This paper aims to test whether digital connectivity leads to other linkage patterns among world cities than traditional infrastructure....

Novel combinations of technologies are usually the result of collaborative work that builds on existing knowledge. Albeit inventors and their respective communities tend to be specialized, inventor collaborations across differently specialized peers have the potential to generate co-inventor...

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...

The main objective of the present paper is further to investigate global synchronization of a general model of complex delayed dynamical networks. Based on stability theory on delayed dynamical systems, some simple yet less conservative criteria for both delay-independent and delay-dependent...
