Phase transitions are an important and extensively studied concept in physics. The insights
derived from understanding phase transitions in physics have recently and successfully …

The integrity and functionality of many real-world complex systems hinge on a small set of
pivotal nodes, or influencers. In different contexts, these influencers are defined as either …

The core decomposition of networks has attracted significant attention due to its numerous
applications in real-life problems. Simply stated, the core decomposition of a network …

Collapses of dynamical systems into irrecoverable states are observed in ecosystems,
human societies, financial systems and network infrastructures. Despite their widespread …

Many algorithms schedule their work, or tasks, according to a priority order for correctness or
faster convergence. While priority schedulers commonly implement task enqueue and …

Discontinuous shear thickening (DST) is associated with a sharp rise in a suspension's
viscosity with increasing applied shear rate or stress. Key signatures of DST, highlighted in …

A catalog of low frequency events (LFEs) beneath Vancouver Island is analyzed in the
context of a granular flow model. The catalog contains origin‐times and magnitudes of …

We numerically investigate the effect of liquid cohesion on the clogging of microchannels
induced by small wet particles. The computer simulation is performed by the discrete …

Experiments have long shown that zones of near vanishing deformation, so-called “dead
zones”, emerge and coexist with strain localization zones inside deforming granular media …

Critical percolation threshold is a crucial parameter that describes the connectivity of
heterogeneous structures. In recent decades, numerical researches in the field of 2D …
