Clustering Phase Transitions and Hysteresis: Pitfalls in Constructing Network Ensembles
David V. Foster, Jacob G. Foster, Maya Paczuski +1
Ensembles of networks are used as null models in many applications. However, simple null models often show much less clustering than their real-world counterparts. In this paper, w…
Edge direction and the structure of networks
Jacob G. Foster, David V. Foster, Peter Grassberger +1
Directed networks are ubiquitous and are necessary to represent complex systems with asymmetric interactions---from food webs to the World Wide Web. Despite the importance of edge…
A Model of Sequential Branching in Hierarchical Cell Fate Determination
David V. Foster, Jacob G. Foster, Sui Huang +1
Multipotent stem or progenitor cells undergo a sequential series of binary fate decisions, which ultimately generate the diversity of differentiated cells. Efforts to understand ce…
Maximal Information Transfer and Behavior Diversity in Random Threshold Networks
M. Andrecut, D. Foster, H. Carteret +1
Random Threshold Networks (RTNs) are an idealized model of diluted, non symmetric spin glasses, neural networks or gene regulatory networks. RTNs also serve as an interesting gener…
