چکیده

Interactions between units in phyical, biological, technological, and social systems usually give rise to intrincate networks with non-trivial structure, which critically affects the dynamics and properties of the system. The focus of most current research on complex networks is on global network properties. A caveat of this approach is that the relevance of global properties hinges on the premise that networks are homogeneous, whereas most real-world networks have a markedly modular structure. Here, we report that networks with different functions, including the Internet, metabolic, air transportation, and protein interaction networks, have distinct patterns of connections among nodes with different roles, and that, as a consequence, complex networks can be classified into two distinct functional classes based on their link type frequency. Importantly, we demonstrate that the above structural features cannot be captured by means of often studied global properties.

Frequency Quantized Nondiffracting X Waves in a Confined Space

ar X iv :p hy si cs /0 60 70 59 v 1 7 Ju l 2 00 6 Abstract This paper presents theoretical results indicating that newly discovered nondiffracting beams we call X waves, can propagate in a confined space (wave guide) with specific quantized temporal frequencies. These results could have applications in nondispersive transmission of acoustic, electromagnetic (microwaves) and optical energy throu...

We study a general set of models of social network evolution and dynamics. The models consist of both a dynamics on the network and evolution of the network. Links are formed preferentially between ’similar’ nodes, where the similarity is defined by the particular process taking place on the network. The interplay between the two processes produces phase transitions and hysteresis, as seen usin...

We introduce and study a general model of social network formation and evolution based on the concept of preferential link formation between similar nodes and increased similarity between connected nodes. The model is studied numerically and analytically for three definitions of similarity. In common with real-world social networks, we find coexistence of high and low connectivity phases and hi...

We present what is to our knowledge the most complete 1-D numerical analysis of the evolution and the propagation dynamics of an ultrashort laser pulse in a Ti:Sapphire laser oscillator. This study confirms the dispersion managed model of mode-locking, and emphasizes the role of the Kerr nonlinearity in generating mode-locked spectra with a smooth and well− behaved spectral phase. A very good a...
