  4. 2. Complex Networks : Structure, Function , Evolution

    Author : Ala Trusina; Petter Minnhagen; Kim Sneppen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex systems; network topology; evolution; information spread; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik;

    Abstract : A complex system is a system for which the statement "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" holds. A network can be viewed as a backbone of a complex system. READ MORE

  5. 3. Complex patterns : from physical to social interactions

    Author : Andreas Grönlund; Petter Minnhagen; Hawoong Jeong; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex networks; collective dynamics; statistical physics; random graphs; Statistical physics; Statistisk fysik;

    Abstract : Interactions are what gives us the knowledge of the world around us. Interactions on all levels may fundamentally be seen as an exchange of information and a possible response of the same. Whether it is an electron in an electrical field or a handsome dude in a bar responding to a flirtation---interactions make things happen. READ MORE
