Parallel simulation of two--dimensional Ising models using Probabilistic Cellular Automata

Roberto D'Autilia, Louis Nantenaina Andrianaivo, Alessio Troiani

We perform a numerical investigation of the \emph{shaken dynamics}, a parallel Markovian dynamics for spin systems with local interaction and whose transition probabilities depend…

Criticality of measures on 2-d Ising configurations: from square to hexagonal graphs

Valentina Apollonio, Roberto D'Autilia, Benedetto Scoppola +2

On the space of Ising configurations on the 2-d square lattice, we consider a family of non Gibbsian measures introduced by using a pair Hamiltonian, depending on an additional ine…

Shaken dynamics: an easy way to parallel Markov Chain Monte Carlo

Valentina Apollonio, Roberto D'Autilia, Benedetto Scoppola +2

We define a class of Markovian parallel dynamics for spin systems on arbitrary graphs with nearest neighbor interaction described by a Hamiltonian function . These dynamics t…

Simulation tools to compare and optimize the mobility plans

Alessandra Campo, Roberto D'Autilia

In the last decades, mobility planning has been a fundamental issue for the development of cities. A full knowledge of the way a mobility system influences the traffic behavior of…

Shaping ideal cities: the graph representation of the urban utopia

Roberto D'Autilia, Marco Spada

The ideal Renaissance city is designed as a star-shaped fortress, where the streets and squares are organized to speed the movement of people and soldiers. Symmetry and accessibili…

Is there enough fertile soil to feed a planet of growing cities?

Roberto D'Autilia, Ilaria D'Ambrosi

We analyze a scaling law for the consumption of agricultural soil by cities. The nonlinear dependence of the size of the city on the number of inhabitants gives rise to an equation…
