Existing accounts of complexity in social systems fail to adequately situate human understanding within those systems. Human understanding and action is embedded within the complex systems that we inhabit. As such, we cannot achieve a full and accurate …
Abstract Co-evolutionary dynamical models, providing a realistic paradigm for investigating complex system, have been extensively studied. In this paper, the co-evolution of payoff strategy and interaction strategy is studied. Staring with an initial Gaussian distribution of …
Abstract We consider a dilute flow of granular particles passing through a nozzle under gravity. This setting is an analogue to high-speed nozzle flows, which is a classical problem in the study of compressible gases. Contrary to the widely held belief that the behavior of …
Abstract We consider a multi-agent system with linear stochastic individual dynamics, and individual linear quadratic ergodic cost functions. The agents partially observe their own states. Their cost functions and initial statistics are a priori independent but they are …
Abstract: We discovered that past changes in the market correlation structure are significantly related with future changes in the market volatility. By using orrelation-based information filtering networks we device a new tool for forecasting the market volatility …
Abstract We propose an effective human comfortable safety framework enabling a mobile service robot to navigate safely and socially in social environments. The proposed framework takes human states (position, orientation, motion and hand poses) and social …
Abstract: The major objective of this paper is to study the effects of heterogeneity on pedestrian dynamics in walkway of subway station. We analyze the observed data of the selected facility and find that walking speed and occupied space were varied in the …
Abstract In this study, the usage of the level of service (LOS) concept, which was developed specifically for pedestrian satisfaction and safety, was critically analyzed. The focuses of this investigation were the Fruin and Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) LOS values, which …
Abstract—Previous experiments have shown that fungi use an efficient natural algorithm for searching the space available for their growth in micro-confined networks, eg, mazes. This natural ‘master’algorithm, which comprises two ‘slave’sub-algorithms, ie, collision-induced …
Abstract Due to recent advanced communication possibilities between traffic infrastructure, vehicles and drivers, the optimization of traffic lights control can be approached in novel ways. At the same time, this may introduce new unexpected dynamics in transportation …
