Community Structure of the Physical Review Citation Network

P. Chen, S. Redner

We investigate the community structure of physics subfields in the citation network of all Physical Review publications between 1893 and August 2007. We focus on well-cited publica…

Signatures of arithmetic simplicity in metabolic network architecture

W. J. Riehl, P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner +1

Metabolic networks perform some of the most fundamental functions in living cells, including energy transduction and building block biosynthesis. While these are the best character…

Pearson Walk with Shrinking Steps in Two Dimensions

C. A. Serino, S. Redner

We study the shrinking Pearson random walk in two dimensions and greater, in which the direction of the Nth is random and its length equals lambda^{N-1}, with lambda<1. As lambda i…

The Role of Design Complexity in Technology Improvement

James McNerney, J. Doyne Farmer, Sid Redner +1

We study a simple model for the evolution of the cost (or more generally the performance) of a technology or production process. The technology can be decomposed into component…

Freezing into Stripe States in Two-Dimensional Ferromagnets and Crossing Probabilities in Critical Percolation

Kipton Barros, P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner

When a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet is quenched from above the critical temperature to zero temperature, the system eventually converges to either a ground state (all spins al…

Promise and Pitfalls of Extending Google's PageRank Algorithm to Citation Networks

Sergei Maslov, S. Redner

We review our recent work on applying the Google PageRank algorithm to find scientific "gems" among all Physical Review publications, and its extension to CiteRank, to find current…
