Languages cool as they expand: Allometric scaling and the decreasing need for new words

Alexander M. Petersen, Joel N. Tenenbaum, Shlomo Havlin +2

We analyze the occurrence frequencies of over 15 million words recorded in millions of books published during the past two centuries in seven different languages. For all languages…

Non-consensus opinion models on complex networks

Qian Li, Lidia A. Braunstein, Huijuan Wang +3

We focus on non-consensus opinion models in which above a certain threshold two opinions coexist in a stable relationship. We revisit and extend the non-consensus opinion (NCO) mod…

Complex networks embedded in space: Dimension and scaling relations between mass, topological distance and Euclidean distance

Thorsten Emmerich, Armin Bunde, Shlomo Havlin +2

Many real networks are embedded in space, where in some of them the links length decay as a power law distribution with distance. Indications that such systems can be characterized…

Communication activity in a social network: relation between long-term correlations and inter-event clustering

Diego Rybski, Sergey V. Buldyrev, Shlomo Havlin +2

The timing patterns of human communication in social networks is not random. On the contrary, communication is dominated by emergent statistical laws such as non-trivial correlatio…

A k-shell decomposition method for weighted networks

Antonios Garas, Frank Schweitzer, Shlomo Havlin

We present a generalized method for calculating the k-shell structure of weighted networks. The method takes into account both the weight and the degree of a network, in such a way…
