On the Edge-Connectivity of an Uncertain Random Graph
Connectivity is one of the most important concepts in graph theory. When graph theory is applied to complex systems with indeterminate factors, uncertainty and randomness are two basic types of indeterminacy.

Introduction: According to the competing failure theorem, the fractional-order Resistor Capacitance (RC) circuit system suffers not only from internal degradation but also from external shocks. However, due to the general differences of each failure type

Chance theory: A separation of riskless and risky utility [PDF]
AbstractIn a temporal context, sure outcomes may yield higher utility than risky ones as they are available for the execution of plans before the resolution of uncertainty. By observing a disproportionate preference for certainty, empirical research points to a fundamental difference between riskless and risky utility.

Narrative Complexity and the Case of Pfitz: An Update for the ‘Systems Novel’
Recent narrative studies of complexity theory have shown that so-called ‘emergent complexity’ does not accommodate to narrative form. Complexity theory is an interdisciplinary field of study that researches how large-scale phenomena emerge from simple ...

Bacterial evolution and the Bak-Sneppen model [PDF]
Recently, Lenski et al \cite{Elena,Lenski,Travisano} have carried out several experiments on bacterial evolution. Their findings support the theory of punctuated equilibrium in biological evolution. They have further quantified the relative contributions

Theory of Aces: Fame by Chance or Merit? [PDF]
We study empirically how fame of WWI fighter-pilot aces, measured in numbers of web pages mentioning them, is related to their achievement or merit, measured in numbers of opponent aircraft destroyed. We find that on the average fame grows exponentially with achievement; to be precise, there is a strong correlation (~0.7) between achievement and the ...
