Thermodynamic theory of voting and EU elections
Klaus M. Frahm, Dima L. Shepelyansky
We introduce a thermodynamic theory of voting and show that it provides a good description of distribution of party votes in EU elections. The theory traces parallels between syste…
Dynamical thermalization and turbulence in social stratification models
Klaus M. Frahm, Dima L. Shepelyansky
We study the nonlinear chaotic dynamics in a system of linear oscillators coupled by social network links with an additional stratification of oscillator energies, or frequencies,…
Thermodynamic description of worldwide distribution of energy and carbon emission
Klaus M. Frahm, Dima L. Shepelyansky
Based on public data, we analyze the distributions of energy and carbon emission over world countries on a scale of the last 40-50 years using their presentation via Lorenz and Par…
Thermodynamic description of wealth inequality in the world
Klaus M. Frahm, Leonardo Ermann, Dima L. Shepelyansky
According to the recent Wealth Thermalization Hypothesis (WTH) the wealth inequality in the world is described by the Rayleigh-Jeans (RJ) thermal distribution of interacting agents…
Thermodynamic description of world GDP distribution over countries
Klaus M. Frahm, Dima L. Shepelyansky
We apply the concept of Rayleigh-Jeans thermalization of classical fields for a description of the world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) distribution over countries. The thermalizatio…
Wealth Thermalization Hypothesis and Social Networks
Klaus M. Frahm, Dima L. Shepelyansky
In 1955 Fermi, Pasta, Ulam and Tsingou performed first numerical studies with the aim to obtain the thermalization in a chain of nonlinear oscillators from dynamical equations of m…
