🔖 From Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash: a network analysis
Marco Alberto Javarone, Craig Steven Wright
🔗 arxiv.org/pdf/1804.02350v1.pdf
In the last years, Bitcoins and Blockchain technologies are gathering a wide attention from different scientific communities. Notably, thanks to widespread industrial applications and to the continuous introduction of cryptocurrencies, even the public opinion is increasing its attention towards this field. The underlying structure of these technologies constitutes one of their core concepts. In particular, they are based on peer-to-peer networks. Accordingly, all nodes lay at the same level, so that there is no place for privileged actors as, for instance, banking institutions in classical financial networks. In this work, we perform a preliminary investigation on two networks, i.e. the Bitcoin network and the Bitcoin Cash network. Notably, we aim to analyze their global structure and to evaluate if they are provided with a small-world behavior. Results suggest that the principle known as 'fittest-gets-richer', combined with a continuous increasing of connections, might constitute the mechanism leading these networks to reach their current structure. In addition, further observations open the way to new investigations into this direction.

🔖 Multilayer Networks in a Nutshell
Alberto Aleta, Yamir Moreno
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.03488
Complex systems are characterized by many interacting units that give rise to emergent behavior. A particularly advantageous way to study these systems is through the analysis of the networks that encode the interactions among the system's constituents. During the last two decades, network science has provided many insights in natural, social, biological and technological systems. However, real systems are more often than not interconnected, with many interdependencies that are not properly captured by single layer networks. To account for this source of complexity, a more general framework, in which different networks evolve or interact with each other, is needed. These are known as multilayer networks. Here we provide an overview of the basic methodology used to describe multilayer systems as well as of some representative dynamical processes that take place on top of them. We round off the review with a summary of several applications in diverse fields of science.

🔖 Finite-time scaling in local bifurcations
Alvaro Corral, Lluis Alseda, Josep Sardanyes
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.03711
Finite-size scaling is a key tool in statistical physics, used to infer critical behavior in finite systems. Here we use the analogous concept of finite-time scaling to describe the bifurcation diagram at finite times in discrete dynamical systems. We analytically derive finite-time scaling laws for two ubiquitous transitions given by the transcritical and the saddle-node bifurcation, obtaining exact expressions for the critical exponents and scaling functions. One of the scaling laws, corresponding to the distance of the dynamical variable to the attractor, turns out to be universal. Our work establishes a new connection between thermodynamic phase transitions and bifurcations in low-dimensional dynamical systems, and opens new avenues to identify the nature of dynamical shifts in systems for which only short time series are available.

🔖 Social Physics: Uncovering Human Behaviour from Communication
Kunal Bhattacharya, Kimmo Kaski
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.04907
In the post year 2000 era the technologies that facilitate human communication have rapidly multiplied. While the adoption of these technologies has hugely impacted the behaviour and sociality of people, specifically in urban but also in rural environments, their "digital footprints" on different data bases have become an active area of research. The existence and accessibility of such large population-level datasets, has allowed scientists to study and model innate human tendencies and social patterns in an unprecedented way that complements traditional research approaches like questionnaire studies. In this review we focus on data analytics and modelling research - we call Social Physics - as it has been carried out using the mobile phone data sets to get insight into the various aspects of human sociality, burstiness in communication, mobility patterns, and daily rhythms.
