Nonlinear redistribution of wealth from a stochastic approach

Hugo Lima, Allan R. Vieira, Celia Anteneodo

We investigate the effect of applying nonlinear redistributive taxes to the yard-sale dynamics of assets. An amount of money is collected from each individual (tax) and distributed…

Inequality, a scourge of the XXI century

José Roberto Iglesias, Ben-Hur Francisco Cardoso, Sebastián Gonçalves

Social and economic inequality is a plague of the XXI Century. It is continuously widening, as the wealth of a relatively small group increases and, therefore, the rest of the worl…

What is the potential for a second peak in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in emerging and developing economies? Insights from a SIRASD model considering the informal economy

Marcelo A. Pires, Nuno Crokidakis, Daniel O. Cajueiro +2

We study the potential scenarios from a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Asymptomatic-Symptomatic-Dead (SIRASD) model. As a novelty, we consider populations that differ in their degr…

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…

Hysteresis and disorder-induced order in continuous kinetic-like opinion dynamics in complex networks

A. L. Oestereich, M. A. Pires, S. M. Duarte Queirós +1

In this work we tackle a kinetic-like model of opinions dynamics in a networked population endued with a quenched plurality and polarization. Additionally, we consider pairwise int…

Pair approximation for the noisy threshold -voter model

A. R. Vieira, Antonio F. Peralta, Raul Toral +2

In the standard -voter model, a given agent can change its opinion only if there is a full consensus of the opposite opinion within a group of influence of size . A more real…

Characterizing network topology using first-passage analysis

M. S. Chaves, T. G. Mattos, A. P. F. Atman

Understanding the topological characteristics of complex networks and how they affect navigability is one of the most important goals in science today, as it plays a central role i…

Imperfect bifurcations in opinion dynamics under external fields

Francisco Freitas, Allan R. Vieira, Celia Anteneodo

We investigate, through a kinetic-exchange model, the impact that an external field, like advertising and propaganda, has on opinion dynamics. We address the situations where two o…

A generalised model for asymptotically-scale-free geographical networks

Nicola Cinardi, Andrea Rapisarda, Constantino Tsallis

We consider a generalised d-dimensional model for asymptotically-scale-free geographical networks. Central to many networks of this kind, when considering their growth in time, is…

Quantum walks with sequential aperiodic jumps

Marcelo A. Pires, Sílvio M. Duarte Queirós

We analyze a set of discrete-time quantum walks for which the displacements on a chain follow binary aperiodic jumps according to three paradigmatic sequences: Fibonacci, Thue-Mors…

Dynamical correlations and pairwise theory for the symbiotic contact process on networks

Marcelo M. de Oliveira, Sidiney G. Alves, Silvio C. Ferreira

The two-species symbiotic contact process (2SCP) is a stochastic process where each vertex of a graph may be vacant or host at most one individual of each species. Vertices with bo…

Multiple transitions between normal and hyperballistic diffusion in quantum walks with time-dependent jumps

Marcelo A. Pires, Giuseppe Di Molfetta, Sílvio M. Duarte Queirós

We extend to the gamut of functional forms of the probability distribution of the time-dependent step-length a previous model dubbed Elephant Quantum Walk, which considers a unifor…

Memory and irreversibility on two-dimensional overdamped Brownian dynamics

Eduardo dos S. Nascimento, Welles A. M. Morgado

We consider the effects of memory on the stationary behavior of a two-dimensional Langevin dynamics in a confining potential. The system is treated in an overdamped approximation a…
