Dynamics of text generation with realistic Zipf distribution
Damián H. Zanette, Marcelo A. Montemurro
We investigate the origin of Zipf's law for words in written texts by means of a stochastic dynamical model for text generation. The model incorporates both features related to the…
Thermal measurements of stationary nonequilibrium systems: A test for generalized thermostatistics
Damian H. Zanette, Marcelo A. Montemurro
We show that a gas thermometer in contact with a stationary classical system out of thermal (Boltzmann) equilibrium evolves, under very general conditions, towards a state characte…
Dynamics and nonequilibrium states in the Hamiltonian mean-field model: A closer look
Damian H. Zanette, Marcelo A. Montemurro
We critically revisit the evidence for the existence of quasistationary states in the globally coupled XY (or Hamiltonian mean-field) model. A slow-relaxation regime at long times…
Aging in an infinite-range Hamiltonian system of coupled rotators
Marcelo A. Montemurro, Francisco A. Tamarit, Celia Anteneodo
We analyze numerically the out-of-equilibrium relaxation dynamics of a long-range Hamiltonian system of fully coupled rotators. For a particular family of initial conditions, t…
Long-range fractal correlations in literary corpora
Marcelo A. Montemurro, Pedro A. Pury
In this paper we analyse the fractal structure of long human-language records by mapping large samples of texts onto time series. The particular mapping set up in this work is insp…
Entropic analysis of the role of words in literary texts
Marcelo A. Montemurro, Damian H. Zanette
Beyond the local constraints imposed by grammar, words concatenated in long sequences carrying a complex message show statistical regularities that may reflect their linguistic rol…
Beyond the Zipf-Mandelbrot law in quantitative linguistics
Marcelo A. Montemurro
In this paper the Zipf-Mandelbrot law is revisited in the context of linguistics. Despite its widespread popularity the Zipf--Mandelbrot law can only describe the statistical behav…
