In this paper, a network is generated from a Sierpinski-type hexagon by applying the encoding method in fractal. The criterion of neighbor is established to quantify the relationships among the nodes in the network. Based on the self-similar structures, we verify the scale-free and small-world effects. The power-law exponent on degree distribution is derived to be [Formula: see text] and the average clustering coefficients are shown to be larger than [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we give the bounds of the average path length of our proposed network from the renewal theorem and self-similarity.

In this paper, the evolving networks are created from a series of Sierpinski-type polygon by applying the encoding method in fractal and symbolic dynamical system. Based on the self-similar structures of our networks, we study the cumulative degree distribution, the clustering coefficient and the standardized average path length. The power-law exponent of the cumulative degree distribution is deduced to be [Formula: see text] and the average clustering coefficients have a uniform lower bound [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we find the asymptotic formula of the average path length of our proposed networks. These results show the scale-free and the small-world effects of these networks.

In this paper, we construct evolving networks based on the construction of the [Formula: see text]-dimensional Sierpinski pyramid by the self-similar structure. We show that such networks have scale-free and small-world effects.

In this paper, we propose a self-organization mechanism for newly appeared nodes during the formation of corona graphs that define a hierarchical pattern in the resulting corona graphs and we call it self-organized corona graphs (SoCG). We show that the degree distribution of SoCG follows power-law in its tail with power-law exponent approximately 2. We also show that the diameter is less equal to 4 for SoCG defined by any seed graph and for certain seed graphs, the diameter remains constant during its formation. We derive lower bounds of clustering coefficients of SoCG defined by certain seed graphs. Thus, the proposed SoCG can be considered as a growing network generative model which is defined by using the corona graphs and a self-organization process such that the resulting graphs are scale-free small-world highly clustered growing networks. The SoCG defined by a seed graph can also be considered as a network with a desired motif which is the seed graph itself.

In this paper, we investigate the vertical-affiliation-free (VAF) evolving networks whose node set is the basic squares in the process of generating the Sierpinski carpet and edge exists between any two nodes if and only if the corresponding basic squares intersect just on their boundary. Although the VAF networks gets rid of the hierarchial organizations produced naturally by the self-similar structures of fractals, we still prove that they are scale-free and have the small-world effect.

<p>In this paper, directed complex network is applied to the study of A shares in SSE (Shanghai Stock Exchange). In order to discuss the intrinsic attributes and regularities in stock market, we set up a directed complex network, selecting 450 stocks as nodes between 2012 and 2014 and stock yield correlation connected as edges. By discussing out-degree and in-degree distribution, we find essential nodes in stock network, which represent the leading stock,. Moreover, we analyze directed average path length and clustering coefficient in the condition of different threshold, which shows that the network doesn’t have a small- world effect. Furthermore, we see that when threshold is between 0.08 and 0.15, the network follows the power-law distribution and behaves scale-free.</p>

The present study investigates the similarity problem associated with the onset of the Mach reflection of Zel’dovich–von Neumann–Döring (ZND) detonations in the near field. The results reveal that the self-similarity in the frozen-limit regime is strictly valid only within a small scale, i.e., of the order of the induction length. The Mach reflection becomes non-self-similar during the transition of the Mach stem from “frozen” to “reactive” by coupling with the reaction zone. The triple-point trajectory first rises from the self-similar result due to compressive waves generated by the “hot spot”, and then decays after establishment of the reactive Mach stem. It is also found, by removing the restriction, that the frozen limit can be extended to a much larger distance than expected. The obtained results elucidate the physical origin of the onset of Mach reflection with chemical reactions, which has previously been observed in both experiments and numerical simulations.

Lapidus and Pearse proved recently an interesting formula about the volume of tubular neighborhoods of fractal sprays, including the self-similar fractals. We consider the graph-directed fractals in the sense of graph self-similarity of Mauldin-Williams within this framework of Lapidus-Pearse. Extending the notion of complex dimensions to the graph-directed fractals we compute the volumes of tubular neighborhoods of their associated tilings and give a simplified and pointwise proof of a version of Lapidus-Pearse formula, which can be applied to both self-similar and graph-directed fractals.

Many real systems behave similarly with scale-free and small-world structures. In this paper, we generate a special hierarchical network and based on the particular construction of the graph, we aim to present a study on some properties, such as the clustering coefficient, average path length and degree distribution of it, which shows the scale-free and small-world effects of this network.
