The previous two-route traffic model shows that the flux of the system decreases as the ratio of dynamic vehicle increases for TTF and MVF. However, simulation results show that the flux of the system remains almost unchanged for TTF, MVF and CCF in our modified model. Our studies may be helpful for managing the real traffic system.展开更多

The queuing model based on task priorities is to some extent successful in explaining the origin of such heavy tails, however, it cannot explain all the temporal statistics of human behavior especially for the daily entertainments. We propose an interest-driven model, which can reproduce the power-law distribution of interevent time. The exponent can be analytically obtained and is in good accordance with the simulations. This model well explains the observed relationship between activities and power-law exponents, as reported recently for web-based behavior and the instant message communications.展开更多

The proposed strategy is performed by deleting edges according to their significances (the significance of an edge is defined as the product of the degrees of two nodes of this edge). In contrast to other methods, e.g., random immunization, proportional immunization, targeted immunization, acquaintance immunization and so on, which mainly focus on how to delete nodes to realize the control of epidemic spreading on complex networks, our method is more effective in realizing the control of epidemic spreading on complex networks, moreover, such a method can better retain the integrity of complex networks.展开更多

In a one-shot two-player game, we let both of their original payoffs be scaled by a same multiplicative factor α 〉 1, if two neighboring players are of different types; however we leave the payoffs unchanged if they are of the same type. Then we show that combined with the two-type setup, the square lattice can assist to induce different social ranks according to players' abilities to collect payoffs. Simulation results show that the density of cooperation is significantly promoted for a wide range of the temptation to defection parameters and that there are optimal values for both α and μ leading to the maximal cooperation level. We reach these results by analyzing the distribution of the players in the social ranks and we also show some typical snapshots of the system.展开更多

We study a modified version of the minimal naming game in which the speaker selects a word from its inventory with a probability proportional to exp(Rs * α), where Rs is the success ratio of the name and α is a tunable parameter. By investigating the effects of α on the evolutionary processes for both square lattice and scale-free networks, we find that the convergence time decreases with the increasing α on both two networks, which indicates that preferential selection of successful words can accelerate the reaching of consensus. More interestingly, for α 〉 0, we find that the relation between convergence time and α exhibits a power-law form.展开更多

A striking finding is that migration plays a universal role in cooperation, regardless of the spatial structure. For a high degree of migration, cooperators cannot survive owing to their failure to form cooperator clusters that resist attacks by defectors. Meanwhile, for a low degree of migration, cooperation is considerably enhanced relative to that in the static spatial game, which is due to the strengthening of the boundaries of cooperator clusters by the occasional accumulation of cooperators along the boundaries. The cooperator cluster thus becomes more robust than that in the static game and defectors near the boundary can be assimilated by cooperators. The cooperator cluster thus expands, which facilitates cooperation. The general role of migration will be substantiated by sufficient simulations relating to heuristic explanations.展开更多

Previous models could hardly give out size-independent clustering with self- organized mechanism when succeeded in producing power-law degree distributions. Always ignored, some empirical statistic results display flat-head power-law behaviors. We modify our recent coevo- lutionary model to explain such phenomena with the inert property of nodes to retain small portion of unfavorable links in self-organized rewiring process. Flat-head power-law and size-independent clustering are induced as the new characteristics by this modification. In addition, a new scaling relation is found as the result of interplay between node state growth and adaptive variation of connections.展开更多
