We analyze general two-species stochastic models, of the kind generally used for the study of population dynamics. Although usually defined a priori, the deterministic version of these models can be obtained as the infinite volume limit of many stochastic models (which are necessarily defined by...

In this work we present an analysis of a spatially non homogeneous ultimatum game. By considering different underlying topologies as substrates on top of which the game takes place we obtain nontrivial behaviors for the evolution of the strategies of the players. We analyze separately the effect...

We study the efficiency of parallel tempering Monte Carlo technique for calculating true ground states of the Edwards–Anderson spin glass model. Bimodal and Gaussian bond distributions were considered in two- and three-dimensional lattices. By a systematic analysis we find a simple formula to...

We report some numerical simulations to investigate the existence of a self-organized critical (SOC) state in a random-neighbor version of the OFC model for a range of parameters corresponding to a non-conservative case. In contrast to a recent work, we do not find any evidence of SOC. We use a...

We study the lobby index (l-index for short) as a local node centrality measure for complex networks. The l-index is compared with degree (a local measure), betweenness and Eigenvector centralities (two global measures) in the case of a biological network (Yeast interaction protein–protein...

We study a simple map as a minimal model of excitable cells. The map has two fast variables which mimic the behavior of class I neurons, undergoing a sub-critical Hopf bifurcation. Adding a third slow variable allows the system to present bursts and other interesting biological behaviors....

We study the problem of determining the Hamiltonian of a fully connected Ising spin glass of N units from a set of measurements, whose sizes needs to be O(N2) bits. The student–teacher scenario, used to study learning in feed-forward neural networks, is here extended to spin systems with...
