We study the dynamics of a Hamiltonian system of N classical spins with infinite-range interaction. We present numerical results which confirm the existence of metaequilibrium quasi stationary states (QSS), characterized by non-Gaussian velocity distributions, anomalous diffusion, Lévy walks...

With the help of the diffusion entropy technique we show the non-Poisson statistics of the distances between consecutive Omori's swarms of earthquakes. We give an analytical proof of the numerical results of an earlier paper (Phys. Rev. Lett. 90 (2003) 188501).

The concept of network efficiency, recently proposed to characterize the properties of small-world networks, is here used to study the effects of errors and attacks on scale-free networks. Two different kinds of scale-free networks, i.e., networks with power law P(k), are considered: (1)...

Communication/transportation systems are often subjected to failures and attacks. Here we represent such systems as networks and we study their ability to resist failures (attacks) simulated as the breakdown of a group of nodes of the network chosen at random (chosen accordingly to degree or...
