🚨 New preprint!! Our latest work shows that letting routing strategies self-organize through evolutionary dynamics allows networks to adapt and outperforming any fixed protocol across a wide range of traffic conditions. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2606.31414 #ComplexSystems #NetworkScience #GameTheory

When one protocol fits none: Self-organized network routing through evolutionary game dynamics

Packet routing on scale-free networks faces a fundamental trade-off: shortest-path routing is efficient at low demand but funnels traffic through hubs and jams early, whereas congestion-aware routing ...

Dynastic dynamics: Modelling powerful naming choices with stochastic prestige

The naming choices of powerful rulers encode millennia of cultural, political, and institutional influences. Consequently, the long-term onomastic dynamics within some of the most powerful dynasties c...
