Complex systems are very often organized under the form of networks where nodes and
edges are embedded in space. Transportation and mobility networks, Internet, mobile phone …

Kinetic interfaces form the basis of a fascinating, interdisciplinary branch of statistical
mechanics. Diverse stochastic growth processes can be unified via an intriguing nonlinear …

The availability of large data sets has allowed researchers to uncover complex properties
such as large-scale fluctuations and heterogeneities in many networks, leading to the …

Concepts, methods and techniques of statistical physics in the study of correlated, as well as
uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in the natural sciences …

Disorder and long-range interactions are two of the key components that make material
failure an interesting playfield for the application of statistical mechanics. The cornerstone in …

In a cascading power transmission outage, component outages propagate nonlocally; after
one component outages, the next failure may be very distant, both topologically and …

Local electromagnetic field fluctuations and related enhancement of nonlinear phenomena
in metal-dielectric composites near the percolation threshold (percolation composites) have …

We study via simulation how a lattice breaks if each bond is an elastic beam having
longitudinal and flexural breaking thresholds randomly selected according to various …

Increased interconnection between critical infrastructure networks, such as electric power
and communications systems, has important implications for infrastructure reliability and …

Abstract Domain walls in magnets, vortex lattices in superconductors, contact lines at
depinning, and many other systems can be modeled as an elastic system subject to …
