Many of the topological and dynamical properties of a network are related to its Laplacian spectrum; these properties include network diameter, Kirchhoff index, and mean first-passage time. This paper investigates consensus dynamics in a linear dynamical system with additive stochastic disturbances, which is characterized as network coherence by the Laplacian spectrum. We choose a family of uniform recursive trees as our model, and propose a method to calculate the first- and second-order network coherence. Using the tree structures, we identify a relationship between the Laplacian matrix and Laplacian eigenvalues. We then derive the exact solutions for the reciprocals and square reciprocals of all nonzero Laplacian eigenvalues. We also obtain the scalings of network coherence with network size. The scalings of network coherence of the studied trees are smaller than those of Vicsek fractals and are not related to its fractal dimension.

In this paper, the problems of basic fuzzy event space and of probability fuzzy space are studied. Firstly, the concepts of basic fuzzy event, fuzzy event and basic fuzzy event space are defined, related properties are investigated, and some results that will be used in the next study of probability fuzzy space are obtained. Then, the definitions of the probability function for fuzzy events and probability fuzzy space are given, some properties of the defined probability function are obtained. In addition, some models of probability distribution of probability fuzzy space based on a known probability space are proposed, and some examples are given to show the usability of the proposed models of probability distribution.
