General three-state model with biased population replacement: Analytical solution and application to language dynamics

Francesca Colaiori, Claudio Castellano, Christine F. Cuskley +3

Empirical evidence shows that the rate of irregular usage of English verbs exhibits discontinuity as a function of their frequency: the most frequent verbs tend to be totally irreg…

Capturing exponential variance using polynomial resources: applying tensor networks to non-equilibrium stochastic processes

T. H. Johnson, T. J. Elliott, S. R. Clark +1

Estimating the expected value of an observable appearing in a non-equilibrium stochastic process usually involves sampling. If the observable's variance is high, many samples are r…
