Measuring the Hierarchy of Feedforward Networks
Bernat Corominas-Murtra, Joaquín Goñi, Carlos Rodríguez-Caso +1
In this paper we explore the concept of hierarchy as a quantifiable descriptor of ordered structures, departing from the definition of three conditions to be satisfied for a hierar…
Emergence of Zipf's Law in the Evolution of Communication
Bernat Corominas-Murtra, Jordi Fortuny, Ricard V. Solé
Zipf's law seems to be ubiquitous in human languages and appears to be a universal property of complex communicating systems. Following the early proposal made by Zipf concerning t…
Exploring the randomness of Directed Acyclic Networks
Joaquín Goñi, Bernat Corominas-Murtra, Ricard V. Solé +1
The feed-forward relationship naturally observed in time-dependent processes and in a diverse number of real systems -such as some food-webs and electronic and neural wiring- can b…
Diversity, competition, extinction: the ecophysics of language change
Ricard V. Solé, Bernat Corominas-Murtra, Jordi Fortuny
As early indicated by Charles Darwin, languages behave and change very much like living species. They display high diversity, differentiate in space and time, emerge and disappear.…
Towards a mathematical theory of meaningful communication
Bernat Corominas Murtra, Jordi Fortuny Andreu, Ricard Solé
Despite its obvious relevance, meaning has been outside most theoretical approaches to information in biology. As a consequence, functional responses based on an appropriate interp…
Universality of Zipf's Law
Bernat Corominas Murtra, Ricard Solé
Zipf's law is the most common statistical distribution displaying scaling behavior. Cities, populations or firms are just examples of this seemingly universal law. Although many di…
