We investigate the cluster behavior of financial markets within the framework of a model based on a scale-free network. In this model, a cluster is formed by connected agents that are in the same state. The cumulative distribution of clusters is found to be a power-law. We find that the...

We observe that the distribution of the relative return, describing the variation of a certain currency, of 74 global currencies obeys a power-law. By using the random matrix theory we find that the distribution of eigenvalues of correlation matrix of relative return also follows a power-law....

We test several non-linear characteristics of Asian stock markets, which indicates the failure of efficient market hypothesis and shows the essence of fractal of the financial markets. In addition, by using the method of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) to investigate the long range...

We introduce a new mechanism—the forget-remember mechanism into the spreading process. Equipped with such a mechanism an individual is prone to forget the “message" received and remember the one forgotten, namely switching his state between active (with message) and inactive (without...

We present a detailed, empirical analysis of the statistical properties of the China Railway Network (CRN) consisting of 3915 nodes (train stations) and 22259 edges (railways). Based on this, CRN displays two explicit features already observed in numerous real-world and artificial networks. One...

We study the effects arisen from the punishment in an evolutionary complementarity game. Each round one member of population “buyers” deals with a randomly chosen member of population “sellers”. When the buyer's offer is greater than the seller's, a deal is done and both players are...

This work is a modeling of evolutionary networks embedded in one or two dimensional configuration space. The evolution is based on two attachments depending on degree and spatial distance. The probability for a new node n to connect with a previous node i at distance rni follows...

It is shown that a small system in thermodynamic equilibrium with a finite thermostat can have a q-exponential probability distribution which closely depends on the energy nonextensivity and the particle number of the thermostat. The distribution function will reduce to the exponential one at...

By testing 88 different funds of the Chinese fund market (CFM), we find fractal behavior and long-range correlations in the return series, which are insensitive to the kind of funds. Meanwhile, a power-law relationship between the deviation D of prices and the Hurst exponent H has been obtained,...

The exponential degree distribution has been found in many real world complex networks, based on which, the random growing process has been introduced to analyze the formation principle of such kinds of networks. Inspired from the non-equilibrium network theory, we construct the network...
