Ultrametricity increases the predictability of cultural dynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2018 A quantitative understanding of societies requires useful combinations of empirical data and mathematical models. Models of cultural dynamics aim at explaining the emergence of culturally homogeneous groups through social influence.

Onion structure and network robustness
Physical Review E, 2011 In a recent work [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 108, 3838 (2011)], Schneider et al. proposed a new measure for network robustness and investigated optimal networks with respect to this quantity. For networks with a power-law degree distribution, the optimized networks have an onion structure-high-degree vertices forming a core with radially decreasing ...

Applications of stiffness-based evaluation method to element importance of truss systems
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2017 Two structural performance indexes, making use of eigenvalues of stiffness matrix, are presented in the study for the evaluation of element importance in the progressive collapse analysis of space trusses. Both indexes are based on the consensus that the

Influence of the network structure on robustness [PDF]
2007 15th IEEE International Conference on Networks, 2007 The classical connectivity is typically used to capture the robustness of networks. Robustness, however, encompasses more than this simple definition of being connected. A spectral metric, referred to as the algebraic connectivity, plays a special role for the robustness since it measures the extent to which it is difficult to cut the network into ...

Structurally robust biological networks [PDF]
BMC Systems Biology, 2011 The molecular circuitry of living organisms performs remarkably robust regulatory tasks, despite the often intrinsic variability of its components. A large body of research has in fact highlighted that robustness is often a structural property of biological systems.

Robustness of community structure in networks [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2008 The discovery of community structure is a common challenge in the analysis of network data. Many methods have been proposed for finding community structure, but few have been proposed for determining whether the structure found is statistically significant or whether, conversely, it could have arisen purely as a result of chance.

Splittings, Robustness, and Structure of Complete Sets [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Computing, 1993 Summary: We investigate the structure of EXP-complete and hard sets under various kinds of reductions. In particular, we are interested in the way in which information that makes the set complete is stored in the set. We study for various types of reductions the question of whether the set difference \(A-S\) for a hard set \(A\) and a sparse set \(S ...
