In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear single species diffusive system \begin{eqnarray*} \dot{x}_i(t)&=& x_i(t)\left(b_i(t)-\sum_{k=1}^{l_i}a_{ik}(t)(x_i(t))^{\beta_{ik}}\right)\\ && +\,\sum_{j=1}^{n}D_{ij}(t)(x_j(t)-x_i(t)),\quad (i,j=1,2,\ldots,n), \end{eqnarray*} where bi(t),...

An earlier study [24] concluded, based on computer simulations and some inferences from empirical data, that languages will change the more slowly the larger the population gets. We replicate this study using a more complete language model for simulations (the Schulze model combined with a...

Experimental evidence suggests that human decisions involve a mixture of self-interest and internalized social norms which cannot be accounted for by the Nash equilibrium behavior of Homo Economicus. This led to the notion of strong reciprocity (or altruistic punishment) to capture the human...
