We consider a model of network interactions where the outcome of a unit depends on the outcomes of the connected units. We determine the key network link, i.e., the network link whose removal results in the largest reduction in the aggregate outcomes, and provide a measure that quantifies the...

This paper studies the collective dynamic behaviors of a general adjacent coupled chain under a periodic driving force and dichotomous noise in both unconfined and confined spaces. The precise conditions for the stability, synchronization, and stochastic resonance (SR) of the system in an...

The incorporation of different types of crop straw may lead to distinct forms and chemical structures of soil organic matter (SOM), which are closely associated with soil microorganisms in agricultural ecosystems. However, the relationship between the SOM physical-chemical compositions and soil...
