Information and material flows in complex networks
In this special issue, an overview of the Thematic Institute (TI) on Information and Material Flows in Complex Systems is given. The TI was carried out within EXYSTENCE, the first EU Network of Excellence in the area of complex systems. Its motivation, research approach and subjects are presented here. Among the various methods used are many-particle and statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics,...
متن کاملCost driven traffic assignment in transportation networks
A cost driven traffic assignment model is proposed to maximise the global benefit of transportation network users. A decentralised primal-dual time synchronised approach is used to solve for the optimal traffic rates subjecting the objective function to the bounds of the network tolerable costs. For a successful operation of the transportation network, the affordable upper bounds on the costs h...
متن کاملMaps of Information Flow Reveal Community Structure In Complex Networks
To comprehend the multipartite organization of large-scale biological and social systems, we introduce a new information theoretic approach to reveal community structure in weighted and directed networks. The method decomposes a network into modules by optimally compressing a description of information flows on the network. The result is a map that both simplifies and highlights the regularitie...
متن کاملApplication of Chaos Theory in Hazardous Material Transportation
Risk factors are generally defined and assigned to road networks, as constant measures in hazmat routing problems. In fact, they may be dynamic variables depending on traffic volume, weather and road condition, and drivers' behavior. In this research work, risk factors are defined as dynamic variables using the concept of chaos theory. The largest Lyapunov exponent is utilized to determine the ...
متن کاملHodge Decomposition of Information Flow on Complex Networks
Decomposition of information flow associated with random threshold network dynamics on random networks with specified degree distributions is studied by numerical simulation. Combinatorial Hodge theory enables us to orthogonally decompose information flow into gradient (unidirectional acyclic flow), harmonic (global circular flow) and curl (local circular flow) components. We show that in-degre...
