The infinite partition of a line segment and multifractal objectsWe report an algorithm for the partition of a line segment according to a given ratio ν. At each step the length distribution among sets of the partition follows a binomial distribution. We call…A. I. L. de Araújo, R. F. Soares, J. P. de Oliveira et al.·Nov 7, 2008SaveLearn
Microdynamics in stationary complex networksMany complex systems, including networks, are not static but can display strong fluctuations at various time scales. Characterizing the dynamics in complex networks is thus of the utmost importance…Aurelien Gautreau, Alain Barrat, Marc Barthelemy·Nov 6, 2008SaveLearn
Generalized theory for node disruption in finite size complex networksAfter a failure or attack the structure of a complex network changes due to node removal.
