The specific Gibbs free energy has been calculated for the infinite range Ising model with fixed and finite interaction strength. The model shows a temperature driven first-order phase transition that differs from the infinite ranged Ising model with weak coupling. In the temperature-field phase...

This chapter reviews recent experimental data testing game theory and behavioral models that have been inspired to explain those data. The models fall into four groups: in cognitive hierarchy or level-k models, the assumption of equilibrium is relaxed by assuming agents have beliefs about other...

The properties of the response function and the fluctuation dissipation relation in phase-ordering systems are discussed. These issues are shown to be highly nontrivial even in the relatively simple case of coarsening dynamics considered here. It is discussed how the connection between statics...
