We show that the collapsed globular phase of a polymer accommodates a scale-free incompatibility graph of its contacts. The degree distribution of this network is found to decay with the exponent $gamma = 1/(2-c)$ up to a cut-off degree $d_c propto L^{2-c}$, where $c$ is the loop exponent for dense polymers ($c=11/8$ in two dimensions) and $L$ is the length of the polymer. Our results exemplify how a scale-free network (SFN) can emerge from standard criticality.

Several cases of the Sznajd model of socio-physics, that only a group of people sharing the same opinion can convince their neighbors, have been simulated on a more realistic network with a stronger clustering. In addition, many opinions, instead of
usually only two, and a convincing probability have been also considered. Finally, with minor changes we obtain a vote distribution in good agreement with reality.
It is known that the heterogeneity of scale-free networks helps enhancing the efficiency of trapping processes performed on them. In this paper, we show that transport efficiency is much lower in a fractal scale-free network than in non-fractal netwo
rks. To this end, we examine a simple random walk with a fixed trap at a given position on a fractal scale-free network. We calculate analytically the mean first-passage time (MFPT) as a measure of the efficiency for the trapping process, and obtain a closed-form expression for MFPT, which agrees with direct numerical calculations. We find that, in the limit of a large network order $V$, the MFPT $<T>$ behaves superlinearly as $<T > sim V^{{3/2}}$ with an exponent 3/2 much larger than 1, which is in sharp contrast to the scaling $<T > sim V^{theta}$ with $theta leq 1$, previously obtained for non-fractal scale-free networks. Our results indicate that the degree distribution of scale-free networks is not sufficient to characterize trapping processes taking place on them. Since various real-world networks are simultaneously scale-free and fractal, our results may shed light on the understanding of trapping processes running on real-life systems.
A Bounded Confidence (BC) model of socio-physics, in which the agents have continuous opinions and can influence each other only if the distance between their opinions is below a threshold, is simulated on a still growing scale-free network consideri
ng several different strategies: for each new node (or vertex), that is added to the network all individuals of the network have their opinions updated following a BC model recipe. The results obtained are compared with the original model, with numerical simulations on different graph structures and also when it is considered on the usual fixed BA network. In particular, the comparison with the latter leads us to conclude that it does not matter much whether the network is still growing or is fixed during the opinion dynamics.
We study the translocation dynamics of a polymer chain threaded through a nanopore by an external force. By means of diverse methods (scaling arguments, fractional calculus and Monte Carlo simulation) we show that the relevant dynamic variable, the t
ranslocated number of segments $s(t)$, displays an {em anomalous} diffusive behavior even in the {em presence} of an external force. The anomalous dynamics of the translocation process is governed by the same universal exponent $alpha = 2/(2 u +2 - gamma_1)$, where $ u$ is the Flory exponent and $gamma_1$ - the surface exponent, which was established recently for the case of non-driven polymer chain threading through a nanopore. A closed analytic expression for the probability distribution function $W(s, t)$, which follows from the relevant {em fractional} Fokker - Planck equation, is derived in terms of the polymer chain length $N$ and the applied drag force $f$. It is found that the average translocation time scales as $tau propto f^{-1}N^{frac{2}{alpha} -1}$. Also the corresponding time dependent statistical moments, $< s(t) > propto t^{alpha}$ and $< s(t)^2 > propto t^{2alpha}$ reveal unambiguously the anomalous nature of the translocation dynamics and permit direct measurement of $alpha$ in experiments. These findings are tested and found to be in perfect agreement with extensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.
We consider the phase diagram of self-avoiding walks (SAW) on the simple cubic lattice subject to surface and bulk interactions, modeling an adsorbing surface and variable solvent quality for a polymer in dilute solution, respectively. We simulate SA
Ws at specific interaction strengths to focus on locating certain transitions and their critical behavior. By collating these new results with previous results we sketch the complete phase diagram and show how the adsorption transition is affected by changing the bulk interaction strength. This expands on recent work considering how adsorption is affected by solvent quality. We demonstrate that changes in the adsorption crossover exponent coincide with phase boundaries.
