Self-Organized Criticality on Quasiperiodic Graphs

open access: yes, 1999
Self-organized critical models are used to describe the 1/f-spectra of rather different physical situations like snow avalanches, noise of electric currents, luminosities of stars or topologies of landscapes.

Bacterial evolution and the Bak-Sneppen model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Recently, Lenski et al \cite{Elena,Lenski,Travisano} have carried out several experiments on bacterial evolution. Their findings support the theory of punctuated equilibrium in biological evolution. They have further quantified the relative contributions

Self-organizing social hierarchies in a timid society

open access: yes, 2005
Emergence of hierarchies is investigated by Monte Carlo simulation in a timid society where all individuals are pacifist. The self-organiztion of hierarchies is shown to occur in two steps as the population is increased, i.e.

Playing with sandpiles

open access: yes, 2004
The Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld sandpile model provdes a simple and elegant system with which to demonstate self-organized criticality. This model has rather remarkable mathematical properties first elucidated by Dhar.

Multiscale SOC in turbulent convection

open access: yes, 2004
Using data obtained in a laboratory thermal convection experiment at high Rayleigh numbers, it is shown that the multiscaling properties of the observed mean wind reversals are quantitatively consistent with analogous multiscaling properties of the Bak ...

Wealth redistribution with finite resources

open access: yes, 2001
We present a simplified model for the exploitation of finite resources by interacting agents, where each agent receives a random fraction of the available resources.

Aging in coherent noise models and natural time

open access: yes, 2004
Event correlation between aftershocks in the coherent noise model is studied by making use of natural time, which has recently been introduced in complex time-series analysis.

A model for the size distribution of customer groups and businesses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present a generalization of the dynamical model of information transmission and herd behavior proposed by Eguiluz and Zimmermann. A characteristic size of group of agents s0 is introduced.

Living in an Irrational Society: Wealth Distribution with Correlations between Risk and Expected Profits

open access: yes, 2006
Different models to study the wealth distribution in an artificial society have considered a transactional dynamics as the driving force. Those models include a risk aversion factor, but also a finite probability of favoring the poorer agent in a ...

Physics of Fashion Fluctuations

open access: yes, 2000
We consider a market where many agents trade many different types of products with each other. We model development of collective modes in this market, and quantify these by fluctuations that scale with time with a Hurst exponent of about 0.7.
