Daisy Visualization for Graphs

چکیده
Since graphs are ubiquitous representations of data that are used in many applications, creating graph layouts is an important problem. These graph layouts are usefully discussed in terms of aesthetics that originated from mathematical concepts. In contrast, we explore the use of alternative aesthetics to inspire the visualization of graphs. We present Daisy Visualization, for which we have designed a new graph layout that is inspired by ornamental patterns of daisy flowers. In Daisy Visualization, graphs’ attributes are mapped to floral elements to create an attractive information visualization that might more readily hold viewers’ attention. As a practical use case we apply Daisy Visualization to the layout of ecological networks based on real ecosystem datasets. We show how specific attributes of ecological networks such as input/output edges, or respiration, can be mapped to floral elements. We conducted a qualitative assessment of Daisy Visualization, where we obtained overall positive feedback and interesting specific thoughts about various design decisions and possible future directions.

In this paper we propose a criteria to establish the integrability of N = 2 super-symmetric massive theories. The basic data required are the vacua and the spectrum of Bogomolnyi solitons, which can be neatly encoded in a graph (nodes=vacua and links= Bogomolnyi solitons). Integrability is then equivalent to the existence of solutions of a generalized Yang-Baxter equation which is built up from...
متن کاملVacuum structure and effective potential at finite temperature: a variational approach
We compute the effective potential for φ4 theory with a squeezed coherent state type of construct for the ground state. The method essentially consists in optimising the basis at zero and finite temperatures. The gap equation becomes identical to resumming the infinite series of daisy and super daisy graphs while the effective potential includes multiloop effects and agrees with that obtained t...
متن کاملFirst order phase transition and corrections to its parameters in the O(N) - model
The temperature phase transition in the N -component scalar field theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking is investigated using the method combining the second Legendre transform and with the consideration of gap equations in the extrema of the free energy. After resummation of all super daisy graphs an effective expansion parameter, (1/2N)1/3, appears near Tc for large N . The perturbation t...

The temperature phase transition in the N-component scalar field theory with the spontaneous symmetry breaking is investigated in the pertur-bative approach.The second Legendre transform and consideration of the gap equations in the extrema of the free energy functional is used. The super daisy and beyond resummations are applied. In the super daisy approximation a first order phase transition ...
متن کاملSTUDY OF THE O(N) LINEAR σ MODEL AT FINITE TEMPERATURE USING THE 2PPI EXPANSION H. VERSCHELDE and J. DE PESSEMIER
We show that a new expansion which sums seagull and bubble graphs to all orders, can be applied to the O(N)-linear σ-model at finite temperature. We prove that this expansion can be renormalised with the usual counterterms in a mass independent scheme and that Goldstone’s theorem is satisfied at each order. At the one loop order of this expansion, the Hartree result for the effective potential ...
