Spatially constrained planar networks are frequently encountered in real-life systems. In this paper, based on a space-filling disk packing we propose a minimal model for spatial maximal planar networks, which is similar to but different from the model for Apollonian networks (Andrade et al 2005 Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 018702). We present an exhaustive analysis of various properties of our model, a...

the main objective of this paper is to examine the impact of economic growth on coefficient of cardinal welfare in iran’s economy. hence, we employ the bayesian approach and the estimation of forward and backward density functions in order to measure the effect of economic growth spillovers on the social welfare. the paper has applied the gibbs sampling algorithm which is a rigorous tool for fo...

This paper provides steady state queue-size distribution for a G/G/1 queue by using principle of maximum entropy. For this purpose we have used average queue length and normalizing condition as constraints to derive queue-size distribution. Our results give good approximation as demonstrated by taking a numerical illustration. In particular case when square coefficient of variation of inter-arr...

We present a network model in which words over a specific alphabet, called structures, are associated to each node and undirected edges are added depending on some distance measure between different structures. It is shown that this model can generate, without the use of preferential attachment or any other heuristic, networks with topological features similar to biological networks: power law ...

Environmental chemistry is a new field of study in many chemistry departments and only three published summaries of environmental laboratory experiments are available (1–3). While these laboratory manuals contain excellent experiments for the training of students in environmental monitoring, relatively few standardized procedures have been published for broader issues such as the measuring of f...

In this paper, we propose an evolving network model growing fast in units of module, based on the analysis of the evolution characteristics in real complex networks. Each module is a small-world network containing several interconnected nodes, and the nodes between the modules are linked by preferential attachment on degree of nodes. We study the modularity measure of the proposed model, which ...

Real-world systems in nature can be described by complex networks. It is of current interest for researchers to construct network models depicting complex systems. In this paper, the generalized Koch network is proposed, which exhibits some properties of Koch networks. Analytical expressions involving the degree distribution, clustering coefficient and average path length for the generalized Ko...
