A phase transition for the heights of a fragmentation tree

We provide information about the asymptotic regimes for a homogeneous fragmentation of a finite set. We establish a phase transition for the asymptotic behavior of the shattering times, defined as the first instants when all the blocks of the partition process have cardinality less than a fixed integer. Our results may be applied to the study of certain random split trees. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 39, 247‐274, 2011     

Analysis to Some Solutions Obtained by Modified Extended tanh-Function Method＊

First, two tanh-coth type solutions of a class of nonlinear wave equation are derived by using a simplified modified extended tanh-function method. Then, further analysis to some tanh-coth type solutions of nonlinear evolution equations are given. The results show that when balance number m is one or two, the tanh-eoth type solutions obtained by the modified extended tanh-funetion method can be obtained by using the hyperbolic-function method.

Eigenvalue estimates for Schrödinger operators on metric trees

We consider Schrödinger operators on radial metric trees and prove Lieb–Thirring and Cwikel–Lieb–Rozenblum inequalities for their negative eigenvalues. The validity of these inequalities depends on the volume growth of the tree. We show that the bounds are valid in the endpoint case and reflect the correct order in the weak or strong coupling limit.     

Chip-Firing and the Critical Group of a Graph

A variant of the chip-firing game on a graph is defined. It is shown that the set of configurations that are stable and recurrent for this game can be given the structure of an abelian group, and that the order of the group is equal to the tree number of the graph. In certain cases the game can be used to illuminate the structure of the group.     

Three-dimensional cellular automaton simulation of tumour growth in inhomogeneous oxygen environment

Cellular automaton theory has previously been used to study cell growth. In this study, we present a three-dimensional cellular automaton model performing the growth simulation of normal and cancerous cells. The necessary nutrient supply is provided by an artificial arterial tree which is generated by constrained constructive optimization. Spatial oxygen diffusion is approximated again by a cellular automaton model. All results could be illustrated dynamically by three-dimensional volume visualization. Because of the chosen modelling approach, an extension of the model to simulate angiogenic processes is possible.     

A system of grabbing particles related to Galton‐Watson trees

We consider a system of particles with arms that are activated randomly to grab other particles as a toy model for polymerization. We assume that the following two rules are fulfilled: once a particle has been grabbed then it cannot be grabbed again, and an arm cannot grab a particle that belongs to its own cluster. We are interested in the shape of a typical polymer in the situation when the initial number of monomers is large and the numbers of arms of monomers are given by i.i.d. random variables. Our main result is a limit theorem for the empirical distribution of polymers, where limit is expressed in terms of a Galton‐Watson tree. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct.

Topological properties of stock market networks: The case of Brazil

This paper investigates the topological properties of the Brazilian stock market networks. We build the minimum spanning tree, which is based on the concept of ultrametricity, using the correlation matrix for a variety of stocks of different sectors. Our results suggest that stocks tend to cluster by sector. We employ a dynamic approach using complex network measures and find that the relative importance of different sectors within the network varies. The financial, energy and material sectors are the most important within the network.
