  • Ernst Ising's Doctoral Thesis — One Hundred Years On

    by Reinhard Folk, Bertrand Berche, Ralph Kenna, Yurij Holovatch ...
    The now-famous model was considered by Ernst Ising in his doctoral dissertation, as suggested by his supervisor Wilhelm Lenz. It was originally intended to explain the physical phenomenon — onset of a ferromagnetic phase — by the theory arising solely from the local interactions between elementary magnetic moments of individual atoms. The work of Lenz and Ising marked the start of a scientific ... Read more

  • Why Society is a Complex Matter

    Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

    by Philip Ball ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour. As a system made up of many interacting agents – people, groups, institutions and governments, as well as physical and technological structures such as roads and computer networks – society can be regarded as a complex system. ...

  • Temporal Networks

    Edited by Jari Saramäki, Petter Holme ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The concept of temporal networks is an extension of complex networks as a modeling framework to include information on when interactions between nodes happen.Many studies of the last decade examine how the static network structure affect dynamic systems on the network. In this traditional approach the temporal aspects are pre-encoded in the dynamic system model.Temporal-network methods, on the ... Read more
