On $Z_{2^k}$-Dual Binary Codes
[ "math.CO", "cs.IT", "math.IT" ]
A new generalization of the Gray map is introduced. The new generalization $\Phi: Z_{2^k}^n \to Z_{2}^{2^{k-1}n}$ is connected with the known generalized Gray map $\phi$ in the following way: if we take two dual linear $Z_{2^k}$-codes and construct binary codes from them using the generalizations $\phi$ and $\Phi$ of t...

On decomposability of 4-ary distance 2 MDS codes, double-codes, and n-quasigroups of order 4

A subset $S$ of $\{0,1,...,2t-1\}^n$ is called a $t$-fold MDS code if every line in each of $n$ base directions contains exactly $t$ elements of $S$. The adjacency graph of a $t$-fold MDS code is not connected if and only if the characteristic function of the code is the repetition-free sum of the characteristic functi...

A major task of evolutionary biology is the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees from molecular data. The evolutionary model is given by a Markov chain on a tree.

We propose an analysis, based on a differential geometry point of view, that allows to calculate these correlations. In practise, this desc...

We have previously shown in an abstract simulation (Gershenson, 2005) that self-organizing traffic lights can improve greatly traffic flow for any density. In this paper, we extend these results to a realistic setting, implementing self-organizing traffic lights in an advanced traffic simulator using real data from a B...

Why the Maxwellian Distribution is the Attractive Fixed Point of the Boltzmann Equation
[ "nlin.CD", "cond-mat.stat-mech", "cs.MA", "math.ST", "physics.class-ph", "stat.TH" ]
The origin of the Boltzmann factor is revisited. An alternative derivation from the microcanonical picture is given. The Maxwellian distribution in a mono-dimensional ideal gas is obtained by following this insight. Other possible applications, as for instance the obtaining of the wealth distribution in the human socie...

A Model of a Trust-based Recommendation System on a Social Network
[ "nlin.AO", "cs.IR", "physics.soc-ph" ]
In this paper, we present a model of a trust-based recommendation system on a social network. The idea of the model is that agents use their social network to reach information and their trust relationships to filter it. We investigate how the dynamics of trust among agents affect the performance of the system by compa...

Bistability: a common feature in some "aggregates" of logistic maps
[ "nlin.AO", "cs.NE" ]
As it was argued by Anderson [Science 177, 393 (1972)], the "reductionist" hypothesis does not by any means imply a "constructionist" one. Hence, in general, the behavior of large and complex aggregates of elementary components can not be understood nor extrapolated from the properties of a few components. Following th...

Statistical User Model for the Internet Access
[ "nlin.AO", "cond-mat.stat-mech", "cs.MA", "cs.NI" ]
A new statistical based model approach to characterize a user's behavior in an Internet access link is presented. The real patterns of Internet traffic in a heterogeneous Campus Network are studied. We find three clearly different patterns of individual user's behavior, study their common features and group particular ...

Competition of Self-Organized Rotating Spiral Autowaves in a Nonequilibrium Dissipative System of Three-Level Phaser
[ "nlin.CG", "cs.NE", "nlin.AO" ]
We present results of cellular automata based investigations of rotating spiral autowaves in a nonequilibrium excitable medium which models three-level paramagnetic microwave phonon laser (phaser). The computational model is described in arXiv:cond-mat/0410460v2 and arXiv:cond-mat/0602345v1 . We have observed several n...
