Complex Networks from Simple Rules
Complex networks are all around us, and they can be generated by simple mechanisms. Understanding what kinds of networks can be produced by following simple rules is therefore of great importance. This issue is investigated by studying the dynamics of extremely simple systems where a “writer” moves around a network, modifying it in a way that depends upon the writer’s surroundings. Each vertex ...
متن کاملSimple Ecological Rules Yield Complex Agent Networks
In complex natural systems (such as ecological systems) it is common for those studying the macro-dynamics of systems to aim to describe, as simply as possible, the interactions between individuals occupying different niches in a system and to validate these by studying whether they account for the complex network of relationships observed in the actual system. We explore a similar principle ap...
متن کاملConstructing cities, deconstructing scaling laws
Cities can be characterized and modelled through different urban measures. Consistency within these observables is crucial in order to advance towards a science of cities. Bettencourt et al. have proposed that many of these urban measures can be predicted through universal scaling laws. We develop a framework to consistently define cities, using commuting to work and population density threshol...
متن کاملCan Complex Cellular Processes be Governed by Simple Linear Rules?
Complex living systems have shown remarkably well-orchestrated, self-organized, robust, and stable behavior under a wide range of perturbations. However, despite the recent generation of high-throughput experimental datasets, basic cellular processes such as division, differentiation, and apoptosis still remain elusive. One of the key reasons is the lack of understanding of the governing princi...
متن کاملSimple versus complex selection rules for forecasting many time series
A major problem for many organisational forecasters is to choose the appropriate forecasting method for a large number of time series. Various selection rules have been proposed in order to enhance forecasting accuracy. The simpler approach for model selection involves the identification of a single method, which is applied to all data series in an aggregate manner, without taking into account ...
