Enhanced synchronizability via age-based coupling

Lu, Yu-Feng ; Zhao, Ming ; Zhou, Tao ; Wang, Bing-Hong

In: Physical Review E, 2007, vol. 76, p. 057103

In this Brief Report, we study the synchronization of growing scale-free networks. An asymmetrical age-based coupling method is proposed with only one free parameter α. Although the coupling matrix is asymmetric, our coupling method could guarantee that all the eigenvalues are non-negative reals. The eigenratio R will approach 1 in the large limit of α

Opinion spreading with mobility on scale-free networks

Guo, Qiang ; Liu, Jian-Guo ; Wang, Bing-Hong ; Zhou, Tao ; Chen, Xing-Wen ; Yao, Yu-Hua

In: Chinese Physics Letters, 2008, vol. 25, no. 2, p. 773-775

A continuum opinion dynamic model is presented based on two rules. The first one considers the mobilities of the individuals, the second one supposes that the individuals update their opinions independently. The results of the model indicate that the bounded confidence ∈c, separating consensus and incoherent states, of a scale-free network is much smaller than the one of a...

Empirical study on clique-degree distribution of networks

Xiao, Wei-Ke ; Ren, Jie ; Qi, Feng ; Song, Zhi-Wei ; Zhu, Meng-Xiao ; Yang, Hong-Feng ; Jin, Hui-Yu ; Wang, Bing-Hong ; Zhou, Tao

In: Physical Review E, 2007, vol. 76, no. 3, p. 037102

The community structure and motif-modular-network hierarchy are of great importance for understanding the relationship between structures and functions. We investigate the distribution of clique degrees, which are an extension of degree and can be used to measure the density of cliques in networks. Empirical studies indicate the extensive existence of power-law clique-degree distributions in...

Scaling behaviour and memory in heart rate of healthy human

Cai, Shi-Min ; Peng, Hu ; Yang, Hui-Jie ; Zhou, Tao ; Zhou, Pei-Ling ; Wang, Bing-Hong

In: Chinese Physics Letters, 2007, vol. 24, no. 10, p. 3002

We investigate a set of complex heart rate time series from healthy human in different behaviour states with the detrended fluctuation analysis and diffusion entropy (DE) method. It is proposed that the scaling properties are influenced by behaviour states. The memory detected by DE exhibits an approximately same pattern after a detrending procedure. Both of them demonstrate the long-range strong...
