As complex networks in economics, we consider Japanese shareholding networks as they existed in 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2002, and 2003. In this study, we use as data lists of share…
Testing for Mathematical Lineation in Jim Crace's "Quarantine" and T. S. Eliot's "Four Quartets"
John Constable, Hideaki Aoyama
The mathematical distinction between prose and verse may be detected in writings that are not apparently lineated, for example in T. S. Eliot's "Burnt Norton", and Jim Crace's "Qua…
Small-World Effects in Wealth Distribution
Wataru Souma, Yoshi Fujiwara, Hideaki Aoyama
We construct a model of wealth distribution, based on an interactive multiplicative stochastic process on static complex networks. Through numerical simulations we show that a decr…
Isometric Lineation in English Texts: An Empirical and Mathematical Examination of its Character and Consequences
Hideaki Aoyama, John Constable
In this paper we build on earlier observations and theory regarding word length frequency and sequential distribution to develop a mathematical characterization of some of the lang…
Word Length Frequency and Distribution in English: Observations, Theory, and Implications for the Construction of Verse Lines
Hideaki Aoyama, John Constable
Recent observations in the theory of verse and empirical metrics have suggested that constructing a verse line involves a pattern-matching search through a source text, and that th…
