Gardner volumes and self-organization in a minimal model of complex ecosystems

Frederik J. Thomsen, Johan L. A. Dubbeldam, Rudolf Hanel

We study self-organization in a minimally nonlinear model of large random ecosystems. Populations evolve over time according to a piecewise linear system of ordinary differential e…

Thermodynamics of driven systems with explicitly broken detailed balance

Markus Hofer, Jan Korbel, Rudolf Hanel +1

In systems with detailed balance, the stationary distribution and the equilibrium distribution are identical, creating a clear connection between energetic and entropic quantities.…

Typicality, entropy and the generalization of statistical mechanics

Bernat Corominas-Murtra, Rudolf Hanel, Petr Jizba

When at equilibrium, large-scale systems obey conventional thermodynamics because they belong to microscopic configurations (or states) that are typical. Crucially, the typical sta…

Homophily-based social group formation in a spin-glass self-assembly framework

Jan Korbel, Simon D. Lindner, Tuan Minh Pham +2

Homophily, the tendency of humans to attract each other when sharing similar features, traits, or opinions has been identified as one of the main driving forces behind the formatio…

Information consumption and size in firms

Edward D. Lee, Alan P. Kwan, Rudolf Hanel +2

Social and biological collectives need to exchange information to persist and to function. This happens across internal networks, whose structure represents static channels through…

Equivalence of information production and generalized entropies in complex processes

Rudolf Hanel, Stefan Thurner

Complex systems that are characterized by strong correlations and fat-tailed distribution functions have been argued to be incompatible within the framework of Boltzmann-Gibbs entr…
