چکیده

In order to take the weight of connection into consideration and to find a natural measurement of weight, we have collected papers in Econophysics and constructed a network of scientific communication to integrate idea transportation among econophysicists by collaboration, citation and personal discussion. Some basic statistics such as weight per degree are discussed in Fan et al. J. Mod. Phys. B (17–19) (2004) 2505. In this paper, by including the papers published recently, further statistical results for the network are reported. Clustering coefficient of weighted networks is introduced and empirically studied in this network. We also compare the typical statistics on this network under different weight assignments, including random and inverse weight. The conclusion from weight-redistributed network is helpful to the investigation of the topological role of weight. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Weighted networks of scientific communication: the measurement and geometrical role of weight

In order to take the weight of connection into consideration and to find a natural measurement of weight, we have collected papers in Econophysics and constructed a network of scientific communication to integrate idea transportation among econophysicists by collaboration, citation and personal discussion. Some basic statistics such as weight per degree are discussed in [1]. In this paper, by i...

An Adaptive LEACH-based Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

LEACH is the most popular clastering algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, it has two main drawbacks, including random selection of cluster heads, and direct communication of cluster heads with the sink. This paper aims to introduce a new centralized cluster-based routing protocol named LEACH-AEC (LEACH with Adaptive Energy Consumption), which guarantees to generate balanced cl...

THE ANALOGUE OF WEIGHTED GROUP ALGEBRA FOR SEMITOPOLOGICAL SEMIGROUPS

In [1,2,3], A. C. Baker and J.W. Baker studied the subspace Ma(S) of the convolution measure algebra M, (S) of a locally compact semigroup. H. Dzinotyiweyi in [5,7] considers an analogous measure space on a large class of C-distinguished topological semigroups containing all completely regular topological semigroups. In this paper, we extend the definitions to study the weighted semigroup ...

A Novel Molecular Descriptor Derived from Weighted Line Graph

The Bertz indices, derived by counting the number of connecting edges of line graphs of a molecule were used in deriving the QSPR models for the physicochemical properties of alkanes. The inability of these indices to identify the hetero centre in a chemical compound restricted their applications to hydrocarbons only. In the present work, a novel molecular descriptor has been derived from the w...

AMENABLE WEIGHTED HYPERGROUPS

In this paper among many other things we prove that the topological left amenability and left amenability of a weighted hypergroup (K, ?) are equivalent. For a normal subgroup H of K, we define a weight function ?? on KIH and obtain connection between left amenability of (K, ?) and (K|H, ??). Let H be a compact subhypergroup of K. We define the weight function on K||H and obtain connection...
