introduction: problem statement: “sense of social belonging” is one of the human basic needs which is the outcome of social relationships and may have generally many impacts on social pathologies and specifically on local deviations. the aim of the present study is examining and identifying the relationship between municipality performance and citizenship commitments and sense of social belongi...

We study the effect of probabilistic distortions to local majority rules used in Galam model opinion dynamics and bottom-up hierarchical voting. A different probability for a flip against within discussion group is associated with each ratio / minority. The cases groups sizes 3 5 are investigated detail. For voting, corresponds `faithless elector', representative who decides vote choice their e...

This paper presents an original filtering approach, called SND (Scoringbased Neighborhood Dominance), for the subgraph isomorphism problem. By reasoning on vertex dominance properties based on various scoring and neighborhood functions, SND appears to be a filtering mechanism of strong inference potential. For example, the recently proposed method LAD is a particular case of SND. We study a spe...

Abstract We prove optimal local large deviations for the periodic infinite horizon Lorentz gas viewed as a ℤ d -cover ( = 1,2) of dispersing billiard. In addition to this specific example, we general result class nonuni-formly hyperbolic dynamical systems and observables associated with central limit theorems nonstandard normalisation.
