YANG Yusheng, GUO Lei, FAN Jingyan, HU Feng
Complex Systems and Complexity Science. 2026, 23 (3): 1-10.   DOI: 10.13306/j.1672-3813.2026.03.001
Abstract ( 88 )     PDF (4080KB) ( 20 )  
To address the limitations of traditional hypernetwork node similarity methods in capturing higher-order topological structures, a method for calculating node similarity in hypernetworks based on Higher-order Distance Distribution (HDDNS) is proposed. The method generates higher-order distance distributions for nodes and employs Jensen-Shannon divergence to quantify inter-node similarity. To evaluate its effectiveness, this study conducted systematic experiments on three synthetic hypernetworks and five real-world hypernetworks, comparative analysis with five existing methods demonstrates that HDDNS exhibits superior performance in two key evaluation dimensions: mutual similarity metrics and propagation influence, the results indicate that HDDNS enables more precise and efficient computation of inter-node similarity.

Abstract ( 44 )     PDF (2030KB) ( 12 )  
To explore the risk propagation process of cluster supply chain networks under energy price shocks, based on complex network theory, numerical simulation is used to explore the risk propagation characteristics of cluster supply chain networks under energy price shocks. The results indicate that fluctuations in energy prices will have an impact on the quantity of products provided by enterprises to the next stage through production linkages; Scale free networks, random networks, and small world networks exhibit robustness against random attacks, while intentional attacks exhibit vulnerability; The fewer the first attack nodes, the slower the speed of cluster supply chain network paralysis; The probability of cluster supply chain network failure is inversely proportional to strategic resilience parameters and directly proportional to external dependency parameters.

Liu Yunfei, Bin Sheng, Sun Gengxin
Complex Systems and Complexity Science. 2026, 23 (3): 19-26.   DOI: 10.13306/j.1672-3813.2026.03.003
Abstract ( 43 )     PDF (6705KB) ( 12 )  
In response to the phenomenon where some individuals on social networks verify the authenticity of rumors and then actively disseminate counter-rumors to prevent further spread, a new binary opposition information dissemination model, the CASEIR model, is proposed. The model also incorporates a transmission fatigue mechanism and analyzes through simulations the effects of different network structures, average degree, and counter-rumor initiation time on the spread of rumors and counter-rumor information. The experimental results show that the higher the average degree, the greater the impact of varying counter-rumor initiation times. Increasing the rumor reversal rate, rumor replacement rate, and information verification rate can effectively control the spread of rumors, providing a reference for the prevention and control of rumors in social networks.

Abstract ( 37 )     PDF (4510KB) ( 17 )  
Aiming at the problems that the methods for recognizing important nodes in hypernetworks ignore the influence of hyperedges on nodes and the evaluation indexes are relatively single, a method of node importance identification based on multi-indicator decision matrix is proposed. The method characterizes the local importance of node using the hyperdegree, considering the effect of hyperedges on nodes, the vector subgraph centrality is defined to portray the diffusion ability of nodes, and measures the global influence of node by reflecting its positional information through betweenness centrality, the contribution weights of each metric are determined based on entropy theory to assess the importance of the node in terms of its own influence and that of the associated hyperedges. Through the experimental validation of monotonicity, robustness, and SIR propagation model in different types of hypernetworks, the results show that the method can recognize the important nodes in the network more accurately and effectively.

Complex Systems and Complexity Science. 2026, 23 (3): 37-44.   DOI: 10.13306/j.1672-3813.2026.03.005
Abstract ( 42 )     PDF (8268KB) ( 8 )  
To enhance the governance effectiveness of debunking texts, a quantitative analysis of their response characteristics is conducted. Based on the computational narrative network model, the semantic features of debunking texts are structured, and narrative content nodes are used to depict the audience subject and theme, while narrative logic edges are used to represent response intentions. Design a robust matching filtering algorithm to quantify the degree of counterattack of false health information in debunking texts at the semantic level. By analyzing the narrative networks of four types of debunking texts: beauty and fitness, food safety, nutrition and health, and disease prevention and control, it is found that the cohesive structure of the network is driven by emotional logic and cognitive logic. The calculation results verified the effectiveness of the algorithm and found that the response rate of debunking texts was generally polarized. The characteristics of high response debunking texts are that they match the audience and their information needs, and comprehensively use behavioral guidance, psychological identification, etc. to achieve cognitive logic construction, supplemented by authoritative, emotional and other emotional logic to enhance interactive effects, effectively intervening in the dissemination of pseudo health information.

Complex Systems and Complexity Science. 2026, 23 (3): 73-79.   DOI: 10.13306/j.1672-3813.2026.03.009
Abstract ( 34 )     PDF (2836KB) ( 10 )  
To investigate the evolutionary patterns of expressed and private opinions among individuals in social networks where cooperative and competitive relationships coexist, and to analyze the convergence properties of opinions, we establish a multi-leader opinion dynamics model under cooperative-competitive relationships to describe the evolution of both individuals' expressed and private opinions. By employing the randomness and aperiodicity of the influence matrix, we provide a sufficient condition for the convergence of individual expressed and private opinions, assuming the signed network satisfies specific connectivity conditions. The results demonstrate that in a balanced network structure, followers' expressed opinions are influenced by leaders' opinions, while private opinions ultimately guide the expressed opinions toward an equilibrium point. Simulation experiments further validate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Abstract ( 40 )     PDF (1739KB) ( 7 )  
This article focuses on the controllability of multi-agent systems with periodic sampling signals under directed star topology and switching topology. Firstly, using the Kalman rank criterion and graph theory, the decision conditions for the controllability of the multi-agent system in a directed star topology with different weights are given, indicating that the number of leaders required for the system to be controllable varies with different weights; Secondly, two controllable connection methods for star topology are proposed, and it is proved that the sampling of the system cannot be controlled when there are unreachable nodes in the topology; Finally, the PBH criterion is used to determine the sampling controllability of the multi-agent system under switching topology. It is found that the sampling controllability of multi-agent systems under switching topology is related to the joint graph topology structure.

Abstract ( 32 )     PDF (8177KB) ( 8 )  
To investigate the effect of noise on the discharge patterns of neurons and the synchronization stability between neurons, this paper considers the Morris-Lecar (ML) neuron model and explores its dynamical behavior by means of single-two-parameter bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponent diagrams, and phase diagrams. The results show that the system not only exists rich bifurcation behaviors but also is sensitive to the initial value and exhibits multi-stable coexistence states. Next, the energy balance and synchronization patterns of the coupled system before and after the addition of noise are compared by coupling the ML neurons through a magnetic flux-controlled memristor. It is found that the coupled system can achieve energy balance and complete synchronization regardless of whether noise is added. These results provide new guidelines for identifying synaptic adaptability.

A signal bounded iterative learning control algorithm is designed to address the input saturation constraint and convergence time interval setting problem of second-order nonlinear systems. Using inequality transformation to separate unknown parameter functions in the system, establish a limited amplitude iterative learning algorithm to estimate unknown parameter functions; By means of the predefined time convergence conversion function, the arbitrary initial value sliding mode surface is converted into a new variable with zero initial value, and a variable gain limiting iterative learning controller is constructed. Strict theoretical analysis proves that the sliding mode surface converges to zero after finite iterative learning and all signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly bounded,ensuring the trajectory tracking error converges within the preset time. The numerical simulation of arbitrary initial value robot trajectory tracking control verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method and the excellent characteristics of the convergence time interval that can be set according to engineering requirements.

The personal characteristics of top executives and corporate innovation have become a key research focus in corporate finance. While existing studies primarily examine causal relationships, few explore the predictive ability, mechanisms, and patterns of executive characteristics on innovation levels. This study employs the Stochastic Gradient Boosting Tree (SGBT) algorithm to analyze the predictive power of executive characteristics. Results show that executive characteristics, particularly compensation incentives, tenure, and overconfidence, strongly predict corporate innovation levels, with nonlinear (interval) effects. These findings highlight the importance of executive characteristics in forecasting innovation.

To address the shortcomings in the field of athlete movement recognition, such as high cost of bone data annotation, unreasonable frame selection, and insufficient accuracy of recognition methods, this paper proposes an athlete movement recognition method that combines dynamic frame selection and temporal motion enhancement. Firstly, based on video RGB data, a mechanism combining global and local dynamic frame selection is proposed, and dynamic programming and adaptive beam pruning are used to optimize frame selection to ensure global consistency and local diversity. Then, a plug-and-play time and motion enhancement module is proposed, which can be arbitrarily embedded into 2D convolutional neural networks to learn video action features. Finally, the rationality and superiority of the proposed recognition method are verified on two datasets. On the HMDB51 dataset, the performance is improved by 3.16% compared to the suboptimal performance, and on the PV dataset, it is improved by 2.41% compared to the suboptimal performance. The experiments show that the combination of the global and local dynamic frame selection mechanism in the proposed method is reasonable and can balance global consistency and local diversity. At the same time, the plug-and-play time and motion enhancement module can effectively learn the spatiotemporal relationship of actions in the video and has certain superiority.
