Prefabricated {10-12} tensile twins are an effective means to weaken the basal texture and strengthen the plastic processing ability of magnesium alloys. Successfully prefabricated {10-12} tensile twins in the magnesium alloy sheet by bending straightening and thickening, combined with the grain...

Purpose In response to the navigation challenges faced by coal mine tunnel inspection robots in semistructured underground intersection environments, many current studies rely on structured map-based planning algorithms and trajectory tracking techniques. However, this approach is highly...

We apply the theory of incremental input-to-state stability to the problem of synchronization in a complex dynamical network of identical nodes, using chaotic nodes as a typical platform. The proposed technique can achieve chaos synchronization using only partial state/output information in the...

Complex networks have attracted increasing attention from various fields of science and engineering today. Due to the finite speeds of transmission and spreading as well as traffic congestions, a signal or influence travelling through a complex network often is associated with time delays, and...

Buzzword-based viral marketing, known also as digital word-of-mouth marketing, is a marketing mode attached to some carriers on the Internet, which can rapidly copy marketing information at a low cost. Viral marketing actually uses a pre-existing social network where, however, the scale of the...

Real neurons can exhibit various types of firings including tonic spiking, bursting as well as silent state, which are frequently observed in neuronal electrophysiological experiments. More interestingly, it is found that neurons can demonstrate the co-existing mode of stable tonic spiking and...

Previous studies concerning pinning control of complex-network synchronization have very often demonstrated that in an unweighted symmetrical scale-free network, controlling the high-degree nodes is more efficient than controlling randomly chosen ones; due to the heterogeneity of the node-degree...

In this paper, the important issue of Laplacian eigenvalue distributions is investigated through theory-guided extensive numerical simulations, for four typical complex network models, namely, the ER random-graph networks, WS and NW small-world networks, and BA scale-free networks. It is found...
