We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations for the critical dynamics of the three-dimensional site-diluted quenched Ising model. Three different dynamics are considered, these correspond to the local update Metropolis scheme as well as to the Swendsen–Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms....

The influence of non magnetic impurities in the 2d XY model is investigated through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The general picture of the transition is fully understood from the Harris criterion which predicts that the universality class is unchanged, and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless...

We present an analytic approach to study concurrent influence of quenched non-magnetic site-dilution and finiteness of the lattice on the 2D XY model. Two significant deeply connected features of this spin model are: a special type of ordering (quasi-long-range order) below a certain temperature...

We explore the intersection properties of stars of random and self-avoiding walks. We show how the corresponding scaling exponents govern the scaling behavior of copolymer networks in solution. We derive and calculate these exponents from a renormalization group analysis of a corresponding...

We study the distribution P(\omega) of the random variable \omega = x_1/(x_1 + x_2), where x_1 and x_2 are the wealths of two individuals selected at random from the same tempered Paretian ensemble characterized by the distribution \Psi(x) \sim \phi(x)/x^{1 + \alpha}, where \alpha 0 is the...

Studying human behavior in virtual environments provides extraordinary opportunities for a quantitative analysis of social phenomena with levels of accuracy that approach those of the natural sciences. In this paper we use records of player activities in the massive multiplayer online game...

We study the distribution P(ω) of the random variable ω=x1/(x1+x2), where x1 and x2 are the wealths of two individuals selected at random from the same tempered Paretian ensemble characterized by the distribution Ψ(x)∼ϕ(x)/x1+α, where α0 is the Pareto index and ϕ(x) is the cut-off...
