Abstract:

In this dissertation, the critical scaling behavior of magnetic Ising models with long range interactions is studied. These long range interactions, when imposed in addition to interactions on a regular lattice, lead to small-world graphs. By using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, together with finite-size scaling, the critical behavior of a number of different models is obtained. The Ising models studied in this dissertation include the z-model introduced by Scalettar, standard small-world bonds superimposed on a square lattice, and physical small-world bonds superimposed on a square latt

Abstract:

The purpose of my dissertation is to examine whether competition among audit partners affects audit quality. While prior research on audit market competition focuses on audit firm-level or office-level analyses, I argue that audit partners, as the primary decision makers in providing audit services, are likely to engage in competitive actions in the audit market. Further, I use spatial distance among audit partners to measure partner-level competition. I conjecture that spatial distance could better reflect the dynamics of audit market competition than the Herfindahl index, the traditional pro

Abstract:

"Small worlds" are large networks in which any given node has only a few connections to other nodes, but possessing the property that all pairs of nodes are connected by a short path, typically logarithmic in the number of nodes. Small-world models are widely used in the physics literature for modeling various "real-world" networks, such as World Wide Web, power grid and neural network. When the network is too big to model completely, which is often the case for "real-world" network, we need other approaches which yield information about its typical or approximate structure. One such approach

Abstract:

The use of small-world graphs as interconnection networks of multicomputers is proposed and analysed in this work. Small-world interconnection networks are constructed by adding (or modifying) edges to an underlying local graph. Graphs with a rich local structure but with a large diameter are shown to be the most suitable candidates for the underlying graph. Generation models based on random and deterministic wiring processes are proposed and analysed. For the random case basic properties such as degree, diameter, average length and bisection width are analysed, and the results show that a fas

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Socially-based networks are of particular interest amongst the variety of communication networks arising in reality. They are distinguished by having small average path length and high clustering coefficient, and so are examples of small-world networks. This thesis studies both real examples and theoretical models of small-world networks, with particular attention to average path length. Existing models of small-world networks, due to Watts and Strogatz (1998) and Newman and Watts (1999a), impose boundary conditions on a

Abstract:

The modelling of infection transmission has taken many forms: The simple Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model yields good epidemiological results, but is not well suited to the modelling of the application of interventions. Attention has focused in recent years on graph (network) models and especially on those exhibiting the small-world properties described by Watts and Strogatz in “Nature” in 1998. This thesis examines such graph models, discovering several attributes which may yield improved results. In order to quantify the effects of these proposals, a classification system was develop

Simulation models are valuable for making predictions that may be tested in natural systems and for understanding observed patterns. The simulation model developed for this thesis evaluates the effects of spatial network architecture, including organism dispersal patterns and isolation of habitats, on metapopulations. Two fields were merged throughout this project: metapopulation biology and small-world network theory. Small-world networks are characterized in their extremes as scale-free or single-scale. These models potentially simulate the networks of habitats and corridors in which metapop

Abstract:

We studied the bipartitioning of small-world networks. We generated small-world networks from a square lattice via a modified Watts- Strogatz algorithm. We compared several partitioning algorithms, such as Monte Carlo with Kawasaki dynamics and Simulated Annealing, Extremal Optimization and Multilevel K-way partitioning. We obtained the critical percolation values of the mean degree and the threshold partition values for several networks in the continuum between a square lattice and a random network. We obtained the exponents of the minimum partition cost as a function of the mean degree in

Abstract:

Small-world architectures may be implicated in a range of phenomena from networks of neurons in the cerebral cortex to social networks and propogation of viruses. Small-world networks are interpolations of regular and random networks that retain the advantages of both regular and random networks by being highly clustered like regular networks and having small average path length between nodes, like random networks. While most of the recent attention on small-world networks has focussed on the effect of introducing disorder/randomness into a regular network, we show that that the fu

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>資訊科學系所<br>92<br>The author validates a new small world model consisting of cellular automata with mirror identities of daily-contact social networks for purposes of epidemiological simulations. The mirror identity concept was established to integrate human long-distance movement and daily visits to fixed locations into the model. After showing that the model is capable of displaying small-world effects (i.e., low degree of separation and relatively high degree of clustering) on a societal level, we offer proof of its ability to display R0 properties, which are considered centra
