The evolution of pluralistic ignorance
Alessandra F. Lütz, Lucas Wardil
Pluralistic ignorance is a social-psychological phenomenon that occurs when individuals privately hold beliefs that differ from perceived group norms. Traditional models, based on…
Directed propaganda in the majority-rule model
Fabricio L. Forgerini, Nuno Crokidakis, Marcio A. V. Carvalho
Advertisement and propaganda have changed continuously in the past decades, mainly due to the people's interactions at online platforms and social networks, and operate nowadays re…
Heterogeneous contributions can jeopardize cooperation in the Public Goods Game
Lucas S. Flores, Mendeli H. Vainstein, Heitor C. M. Fernandes +1
When studying social dilemma games, a crucial question arises regarding the impact of general heterogeneity on cooperation, which has been shown to have positive effects in numerou…
Cooperation in regular lattices
Lucas S. Flores, Marco A. Amaral, Mendeli H. Vainstein +1
In the context of Evolutionary Game Theory, one of the most noteworthy mechanisms to support cooperation is spatial reciprocity, usually accomplished by distributing players in a s…
Acculturation and the evolution of cooperation in spatial public goods games
Alessandra F. Lütz, Marco Antonio Amaral, Lucas Wardil
Cooperation is one of the foundations of human society. Many solutions to cooperation problems have been developed and culturally transmitted across generations. Because immigratio…
Criticality and Griffiths phases in random games with quenched disorder
Marco A. Amaral, Marcelo M. de Oliveira
The perceived risk and reward for a given situation can vary depending on resource availability, accumulated wealth, and other extrinsic factors such as individual backgrounds. Bas…
Symbiotic behaviour in the Public Goods game with altruistic punishment
Lucas S. Flores, Heitor C. M. Fernandes, Marco A. Amaral +1
Finding ways to overcome the temptation to exploit one another is still a challenge in behavioural sciences. In the framework of evolutionary game theory, punishing strategies are…
Moderate immigration may promote a peak of cooperation among natives
Alessandra Friedrich Lütz, Marco Antonio Amaral, Lucas Wardil
In a world of hardening borders, nations may deprive themselves of enjoying the benefits of cooperative immigrants. Here, we analyze the effect of efficient cooperative immigrants…
An epidemiological model with voluntary quarantine strategies governed by evolutionary game dynamics
Marco A. Amaral, Marcelo M. de Oliveira, Marco A. Javarone
During pandemic events, strategies such as social distancing can be fundamental to curb viral spreading. Such actions can reduce the number of simultaneous infections and mitigate…
Skepticism and rumor spreading: the role of spatial correlations
Marco Antonio Amaral, W. G. Dantas, Jeferson J. Arenzon
Critical thinking and skepticism are fundamental mechanisms that one may use to prevent the spreading of rumors, fake-news and misinformation. We consider a simple model in which a…
Strategy equilibrium in dilemma games with off-diagonal payoff perturbations
Marco A. Amaral, Marco A. Javarone
We analyse the strategy equilibrium of dilemma games considering a payoff matrix affected by small and random perturbations on the off-diagonal. Notably, a recent work [1] reported…
On the validation of Newcomb-Benford law and Weibull distribution in neuromuscular transmission
A. J. da Silva, S. Floquet, D. O. C. Santos +1
The neuromuscular junction represents a relevant substrate for revealing important biophysical mechanisms of synaptic transmission. In this context, calcium ions are important in t…
Heterogeneity in evolutionary games: an analysis of the risk perception
Marco A. Amaral, Marco A. Javarone
In this work, we analyse the relationship between heterogeneity and cooperation. Previous investigations suggest that this relation is nontrivial, as some authors found that hetero…
Moderate death rates can be beneficial for the evolution of cooperation
Elton Júnior. S, Marco A. Amaral, Lucas Wardil
Spatial structure is one of the simplest and most studied ecological factors that affect the evolution of cooperation. It has been shown that spatial reciprocity promotes cooperati…
Rumor propagation meets skepticism: a parallel with zombies
Marco Antonio Amaral, Jeferson J. Arenzon
We propose a model of rumor spreading in which susceptible, but skeptically oriented individuals may oppose the rumor. Resistance may be implemented either by skeptical activists t…
On the distribution of spontaneous potentials intervals in nervous transmission
A J da Silva, S Floquet, R F Lima
One of the main challenges in Biophysics teaching consists on how to motivate students to appreciate the beauty of theoretical formulations. This is crucial when the system modelin…
Universality class change due to angle of deposition of thin-film growth by random particles aggregation
A. C. A. Vilas Boas, F. L. Forgerini
In this work we study numerically the effects of the angle of deposition of particles in the growth process of a thin-film generated by aggregation of particles added at random. Th…
Statistical crossover and nonextensive behavior of the neuronal short-term depression
A. J. da Silva, S. Floquet, D. O. C. Santos
The theoretical basis of neuronal coding, associated with short term degradation in synaptic transmission, is a matter of debate in the literature. In fact, electrophysiological si…
Partial hyperbolicity and specification
Naoya Sumi, Paulo Varandas, Kenichiro Yamamoto
We study the specification property for partially hyperbolic dynamical systems. In particular, we show that if a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism has two saddles with different…
