The paradox of group behaviors based on Parrondo’s games

Xie, Neng-gang; Guo, Jia-yi; Ye, Ye; Wang, Chao; Wang, Lu - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 391 (2012) 23, pp. 6146-6155

. In game A, two behavioral patterns are defined: competition and inaction. A controlled alternation strategy of behavioral … competition behavior of game A that is essential for the total capital to grow. However, if game B is the history …-dependent version, this counter-intuitive phenomenon will not happen. The reason is selfish voting results in the competition behavior …

Diluted Ising model with competing interactions

Andrade, R.F.S; Salinas, S.R - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 270 (1999) 3, pp. 342-352

We introduce aperiodic, but deterministic, dilution of bonds in the Ising model with competing ferro and antiferromagnetic interactions between first and second neighbors along the branches of a Cayley tree. The problem is formulated as a non-linear dissipative map, whose attractors correspond...

Statistical analysis of the evolutionary minority game with different capacities

Zhang, Yu-Xia; Zou, Xian-Wu; Jin, Zhun-Zhi - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 387 (2008) 16, pp. 4319-4326

In this paper we consider the evolutionary minority game with different capacities. With the increase of capacity level ρ1, the probability γn of room1 with n agents changes from one normal distribution to two normal distributions and back to one normal distribution again. When room2 is the...

Adaptation and its impact on the dynamics of a system of three competing populations

Dimitrova, Zlatinka I.; Vitanov, Nikolay K. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 300 (2001) 1, pp. 91-115

We investigate how the adaptation of the competition coefficients of the competing populations for the same limited …. We present results for two characteristic values of the competition coefficient adaptation factor α∗. The first value α …

Comparing the effects of mutualism and competition on industrial districts

Knight, Christopher J.K.; Penn, Alexandra S.; Hoyle, … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 416 (2014) C, pp. 541-557

Industrial districts are made up of numerous firms or industries interacting in myriad ways. We create and study a model of trade and service interactions in an industrial district, and then extend it to investigate the effect of both positive (mutualistic) and negative (competitive) non-trade...

General numerical model of the competition life cycle: from physics to economy

Berg, D.B; Popkov, V.V - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 324 (2003) 1, pp. 167-173

A numerical model of the competition life cycle (competition self-development in a closed system) is defined on a two …-dimensional lattice using “cell automata” technique. Agents’ competition for a limited amount of resource takes place under their growth … competition life cycle at the calculated trajectory are determined and corresponding selection criteria are indicated. …

The Inequality Process as a wealth maximizing process

Angle, John - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 367 (2006) C, pp. 388-414

The One Parameter Inequality Process (OPIP) long predates the Saved Wealth Model (SWM) to which it is isomorphic up to the different choice of stochastic driver of wealth exchange. Both are stochastic interacting particle systems intended to model wealth and income distribution. The OPIP and...

Pair formation within multi-agent populations

Smith, David M.D.; Johnson, Neil F. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 363 (2006) 1, pp. 151-158

We present a simple model for the formation of pairs in multi-agent populations of type A and B which move freely on a spatial network. Each agent of population A (and B) is labeled as Ai (and Bj) with i=1,...,NA (and j=1,...,NB) and carries its own individual list of characteristics or...

Verhulst–Lotka–Volterra (VLV) model of ideological struggle

Vitanov, Nikolay K.; Dimitrova, Zlatinka I.; Ausloos, Marcel - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 389 (2010) 21, pp. 4970-4980

A model for ideological struggles is formulated. The underlying set is a closed one, like a country but in which the population size is variable in time. The dynamics of the struggle is described by model equations of Verhulst–Lotka–Volterra kind. Several “ideologies” compete to increase...
