In this paper, a new entropy approach is developed to study the vulnerability of cluster
supply chain network during the cascading failure spread from a holistic point of view. We …

This work explores the configurations of complex networks that would exhibit the maximum
entropy using both degree and cyclic entropies measures. Theoretical models for such …

This paper elaborates on the Random Network Model (RNM) as a mathematical framework
for modelling and analyzing the generation of complex networks. Such framework allows the …

The internal feedback structure exists in nonhierarchical complex networks in the form of
cycles. Diffusion of information from a node to reach out all the rest occurs through …

With the advancement of the technology and the wide use of the Internet, a large number of
global social network websites emphasizing genuine friendships and the discovery of new …

Complex networks can be classified in three main types: random networks, small-world
networks and scale-free networks. Two approaches are tested and compared to identify and …

The article presents an analysis of dynamic social network where words, nodes and edges
appear and disappear through time. We study a popular virtual social network in the internet …

We present an approximation algorithm for detecting the number of cycles in an undirected
graph, using CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) technology from NVIDIA and …

We calculate the cyclic entropy of a real virtual friendship network to have an insight on the
degree of its robustness. Upon counting the number of cycles of different sizes in the …

Given the high vulnerability of social system to disruptions, it is very critical to make scientific
analysis on the vulnerability of social system and further manage its vulnerability, especially …
