Self-organization, resources and strategies in a minority game

open access: yes, 1999
We find that the existence of self-organization of the members of a recently proposed minority game, depends on the type of update rules used. The resulting resource distribution is studied in some detail, and a related strategy scheme is considered, as ...

Scale-Free Network of Earthquakes

open access: yes, 2003
The district of southern California and Japan are divided into small cubic cells, each of which is regarded as a vertex of a graph if earthquakes occur therein.

Economic exchanges in a stratified society: End of the middle class?

open access: yes, 2005
We study the effect of the social stratification on the wealth distribution on a system of interacting economic agents that are constrained to interact only within their own economic class.

An Interface View of Directed Sandpile Dynamics

open access: yes, 2001
We present a directed unloading sand box type avalanche model, driven by slowly lowering the retaining wall at the bottom of the slope. The avalanche propagation in the two dimensional surface is related to the space-time configurations of one ...

Nonlocality-induced front interaction enhancement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We demonstrate that nonlocal coupling strongly influences the dynamics of fronts connecting two equivalent states. In two prototype models we observe a large amplification in the interaction strength between two opposite fronts increasing front ...

Limited profit in predictable stock markets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
It has been assumed that arbitrage profits are not possible in efficient markets, because future prices are not predictable. Here we show that predictability alone is not a sufficient measure of market efficiency.

Effects of immunization in small-world epidemics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The propagation of model epidemics on a small-world network under the action of immunization is studied. Although the connectivity in this kind of networks is rather uniform, a vaccination strategy focused on the best connected individuals yields a ...

Self-organization of heterogeneous topology and symmetry breaking in networks with adaptive thresholds and rewiring

open access: yes, 2007
We study an evolutionary algorithm that locally adapts thresholds and wiring in Random Threshold Networks, based on measurements of a dynamical order parameter. A control parameter $p$ determines the probability of threshold adaptations vs. link rewiring.

A prognosis oriented microscopic stock market model

open access: yes, 1999
We present a new microscopic stochastic model for an ensemble of interacting investors that buy and sell stocks in discrete time steps via limit orders based on individual forecasts about the price of the stock.

Adaptation to the Edge of Chaos in the Self-Adjusting Logistic Map

open access: yes, 2000
Self-adjusting, or adaptive systems have gathered much recent interest. We present a model for self-adjusting systems which treats the control parameters of the system as slowly varying, rather than constant.
