arXiv:physics/0603042 · doi:10.1016/j.physa.2006.07.036

Abstract

The differential equations of Abrams and Strogatz for the competition between two languages are compared with agent-based Monte Carlo simulations for fully connected networks as well as for lattices in one, two and three dimensions, with up to 10^9 agents.
