Finding and evaluating community structure in networks
M. E. J. Newman, M. Girvan
We propose and study a set of algorithms for discovering community structure in networks -- natural divisions of network nodes into densely connected subgroups. Our algorithms all…
Optimal design, robustness, and risk aversion
M. E. J. Newman, Michelle Girvan, J. Doyne Farmer
Highly optimized tolerance is a model of optimization in engineered systems, which gives rise to power-law distributions of failure events in such systems. The archetypal example i…
Dynamics of a simple evolutionary process
Dietrich Stauffer, M. E. J. Newman
We study the simple evolutionary process in which we repeatedly find the least fit agent in a population of agents and give it a new fitness which is chosen independently at random…
Glassiness and constrained dynamics of a short-range non-disordered spin model
Juan P. Garrahan, M. E. J. Newman
We study the low temperature dynamics of a two dimensional short-range spin system with uniform ferromagnetic interactions, which displays glassiness at low temperatures despite th…
Height representation, critical exponents, and ergodicity in the four-state triangular Potts antiferromagnet
Cristopher Moore, M. E. J. Newman
We study the four-state antiferromagnetic Potts model on the triangular lattice. We show that the model has six types of defects which diffuse and annihilate according to certain c…
Extinction, diversity and survivorship of taxa in the fossil record
M. E. J. Newman, Paolo Sibani
Using data drawn from large-scale databases, a number of interesting trends in the fossil record have been observed in recent years. These include the average decline in extinction…
