A Quality and Cost Approach for Comparison of Small-World Networks
We propose an approach based on analysis of cost-quality tradeoffs for
comparison of efficiency of various algorithms for small-world network
construction. A number of both known in the literature and original algorithms
for complex small-world networks construction are shortly reviewed and
compared. The networks constructed on the basis of these algorithms have basic
structure of 1D regular lattice with additional shortcuts providing the
small-world properties. It is shown that networks proposed in this work have
the best cost-quality ratio in the considered class.Comment: 27 pages, 16 figures, 1 tabl
Space-Time Noncommutativity, Discreteness of Time and Unitarity
Violation of unitarity for noncommutative field theory on compact space-times
is considered. Although such theories are free of ultraviolet divergences, they
still violate unitarity while in a usual field theory such a violation occurs
when the theory is nonrenormalizable. The compactness of space-like coordinates
implies discreteness of the time variable which leads to appearance of
unphysical modes and violation of unitarity even in the absence of a
star-product in the interaction terms. Thus, this conclusion holds also for
other quantum field theories with discrete time. Violation of causality, among
others, occurs also as the nonvanishing of the commutation relations between
observables at space-like distances with a typical scale of noncommutativity.
While this feature allows for a possible violation of the spin-statistics
theorem, such a violation does not rescue the situation but makes the scale of
causality violation as the inverse of the mass appearing in the considered
model, i.e., even more severe. We also stress the role of smearing over the
noncommutative coordinates entering the field operator symbols.Comment: 10 pages, plain LaTe
Manifestations of Space-Time Multidimensionality in Scattering of Scalar Particles
We analyze a possibility of experimental detection of the contribution of the
Kaluza-Klein tower of heavy particles to scattering cross-section in a
six-dimensional scalar model with two dimensions being compactified to the
torus with the radii . It is shown that there is a noticeable effect even
for the energies of colliding particles below which may be observed in
future collider experiments if is of the order of .Comment: 12 pages, LATEX, UB-ECM-PF 93/1
