We consider a polymerization (fragmentation) model with size-dependent parameters involved in prion proliferation. Using power laws for the different rates of this model, we reco...
This paper studies massive evidence about references made and citations received after a five-year citation window by 3.7 million articles published in 1998-2002 in 22 scientific ...
e than previously established, appearing at various levels of abstraction, in diverse systems and languages. The implications of this phenomenon cover various aspects of software e...
Recently, Fabrikant, Koutsoupias and Papadimitriou [7] introduced a natural and beautifully simple model of network growth involving a trade-off between geometric and network obje...
Abstract. We study the relation between PageRank and other parameters of information networks such as in-degree, out-degree, and the fraction of dangling nodes. We model this relat...
Abstract. Renewed interest in ALOHA-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols stems from their proposed applications to wireless ad hoc and sensor networks that require distribut...
— Consider a generic data unit of random size L that needs to be transmitted over a channel of unit capacity. The channel dynamics is modeled as an on-off process {(Ai, Ui)}i≥1...
We present a music information retrieval approach based on power laws. Research in cognitive science and neuroscience reveals connections between power laws, human cognition, and ...
We examine eleven large open source software systems and present empirical evidence for the existence of fractal structures in software evolution. In our study, fractal structures...
