Critical Phenomena in Complex Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Networks arise in wide variety of contexts across disciplines, from social networks in sociology and transport networks in engineering, to networks for disease spreading in epidemiology and metabolic networks in biology. In this essay we provide an introduction to the systematic study of networks. We discuss a few important network models, focusing particularly on features that are similar to those that arise in statistical physics. We also discuss the application of renormalization group methods to examine the critical properties of a simple network model.

Introduction to Schramm-Loewner evolution and its application to critical systems
In this short review we look at recent advances in Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) theory and its application to critical phenomena. The application of SLE goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. Through the use of SLE, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...
متن کاملCritical phenomena in complex networks
The combination of the compactness of networks, featuring small diameters, and their complex architectures results in a variety of critical effects dramatically different from those in cooperative systems on lattices. In the last few years, researchers have made important steps toward understanding the qualitatively new critical phenomena in complex networks. We review the results, concepts, an...

Every phenomena in the nature, despite the complexity of the subject, has certain rules and regulations. River pattern and behavior as one of the most complex natural phenomena to this is not an exception. Depending on geomorphologic, climatic, topographic and erosive conditions, the waterways exhibit different patterns and behaviors. One of the parameters which can be achieved using the comple...

Mobile sensor networks rely heavily on inter-sensor connectivity for collection of data. Nodes in these networks monitor different regions of an area of interest and collectively present a global overview of some monitored activities or phenomena. A failure of a sensor leads to loss of connectivity and may cause partitioning of the network into disjoint segments. A number of approaches have be...
متن کاملCritical phenomena in evolving networks: Ferromagnetic phase transition in evolving network of stochastic cellular automata
The real-world systems: technological, biological or social networks are networks where connections between elements change in time. In the following we consider how changes in network connections influence properties of the system of ferromagnetically interacting elements living on the evolving network. In particular we concentrate on critical phenomena properties related to both topological c...
