Fig. 7From: On equilibrium Metropolis simulations on self-organized urban street networksEffective total and average amounts of surprisal versus effective scaling exponent for Central London (United Kingdom): green solid lines plot the mean (top) and standard-deviation (bottom) of the effective average amount of surprisal \(\langle \widetilde{S}_{\mu }\rangle\); purple dashed lines plot the mean (top) and standard-deviation (bottom) of the effective total amount of surprisal \(\widetilde{S}_{\mu }\); the insets show their asymptotic behaviours. The annealing parameters are the same as in Fig. 6; the equilibria were assumed reached after the \(5000{\,{\mathrm{th}}}\) generation as in Fig. 6; the mean and standard-deviation values were computed over \(250\,000\) in-equilibrium generations and averaged over 10 simulations. (We attribute the noise that waves the asymptotic branches to the poor quality of our map data (see Footnote 4))Back to article page
