The kinetic behavior of a three-dimensional oo-lattice heteropolymer model is studied in terms of the time dependence of the average mean-square displacement between conngura-tions. It is found that at short timescales similar behavior is obtained even for sequences with very diierent thermodynamic properties. Furthermore, the degree of cooperativity in the folding process is examined by studyi...

The long-term effect of lunisolar perturbations on high-altitude orbits is studied after a double averaging procedure that removes both the mean anomaly of the satellite and that of the moon. Lunisolar effects acting on high-altitude orbits are comparable in magnitude to the Earth’s oblateness perturbation. Hence, their accurate modeling does not allow for the usual truncation of the expansion ...

The adjacent eccentric distance sum index of a graph G is defined as ξsv(G) = ∑ v∈V (G) ε(v)D(v) deg(v) , where ε(v), deg(v) denote the eccentricity, the degree of the vertex v, respectively, and D(v) = ∑ u∈V (G) d(u, v) is the sum of all distances from the vertex v. In this paper we derive some upper or lower bounds for the adjacent eccentric distance sum in terms of some graph invariants or t...

If $G$ is a connected graph with vertex set $V$, then the eccentric connectivity index of $G$, $xi^c(G)$, is defined as $sum_{vin V(G)}deg(v)ecc(v)$ where $deg(v)$ is the degree of a vertex $v$ and $ecc(v)$ is its eccentricity. In this paper we show some convergence in probability and an asymptotic normality based on this index in random bucket recursive trees.

A large variety of dynamical processes that take place on networks can be expressed in terms of the spectral properties of some linear operator which reflects how the dynamical rules depend on the network topology. Often, such spectral features are theoretically obtained by considering only local node properties, such as degree distributions. Many networks, however, possess large-scale modular ...

The augmented eccentric connectivity index of a graph which is a generalization of eccentric connectivity index is defined as the summation of the quotients of the product of adjacent vertex degrees and eccentricity of the concerned vertex of a graph. In this paper we established some relationships between augmented eccentric connectivity index and several other graph invariants like number of ...

We provide a short and self-contained proof of the classical result Kostochka Thomason, ensuring that every graph average degree d $d$ has complete minor order Ω ( ∕ log ) ${\rm{\Omega }}(d\unicode{x02215}\sqrt{{\rm{log}}d})$ .
