Non-Zipfian Distribution of Stopwords or Function Words and Subset Selection Models
Wentian Li, Oscar Fontanelli
Stopwords and function words are relatively less informative for the content of a language and more often play a structural role in a sentence. Stopwords are ubiquitous words and m…
Modeling Two-Scale Rank Distributions via Redistribution Dynamics or an Analytic Derivation of the Beta Rank Function
Oscar Fontanelli, Wentian Li
Beta Rank Function (BRF) is a two-sided distribution characterized by a smooth peak and double powerlaw decay, widely used to model empirical data exhibiting deviations from pure p…
Quadratic Term Correction on Heaps' Law
Oscar Fontanelli, Wentian Li
Heaps' or Herdan's law characterizes the word-type vs. word-token relation by a power-law function, which is concave in linear-linear scale but a straight line in log-log scale. Ho…
Extending 1089 attractor to any number of digits and any number of steps
Yannis Almirantis, Wentian Li
The well-known 1089 trick reflects an amazing trait of digital reversal process and reminisces of a limiting attractor in dynamical systems even though it takes only two steps. It…
Multistable Synaptic Plasticity induces Memory Effects and Cohabitation of Chimera and Bump States in Leaky Integrate-and-Fire Networks
Astero Provata, Yannis Almirantis, Wentian Li
Chimera states and bump states are collective synchronization phenomena observed independently (at different parameter regions) in networks of coupled nonlinear oscillators. And wh…
Rich dynamical behaviors from a digital reversal operation
Yannis Almirantis, Wentian Li
Repeatedly adding or subtracting the digital reversal to or from an integer, depending on which one is larger, can be treated as a dynamical system. On one hand, a three-digit vers…
