Using a simple, annealed model, some of the key features of the recently introduced extremal optimization heuristic are demonstrated. In particular, it is shown that the dynamics of local search possesses a generic critical point under the variation of its sole parameter, separating phases of...

Almost all natural, social and man-made-engineered systems can be represented by a complex network to describe their dynamic behaviors. To make a real-world complex network controllable with its desired topology, the study on network controllability has been one of the most critical and...

The partitioning of random graphs is investigated numerically using “simulated annealing” and “extremal optimization”. While generally in an NP-hard problem, it is shown that the optimization of the graph partitions is particularly difficult for sparse graphs with average connectivities...

The paper points out the impact of modern theory methods of synergetic over the analysis of sociology and economics. These methods are able to capture much more subtle and complicated issues on which the society rules are based. The society is a nonlinear system with a hierarchy of...
