Self-similarity of mobility networks
Ying-Yue Lyu, Xiao-Yong Yan, Bin Jia +3
Mobility systems of people and goods are inherently multi-scale, spanning levels of organization from individual cities to regions and nations. Understanding whether mobility netwo…
Unbiased Canonical Set-Valued Oracles Via Lattice Theory
Jobst Heitzig
An oracle that tells you the probability of some future event can change that very probability because you act on the answer. We argue that this performativity is OK as people cons…
Strategic control for a Boltzmann like decision-making model
Luis Guillermo Venegas-Pineda, Hildeberto Jardón-Kojakhmetov, Maximilian Engel +3
We study a prototypical non-polynomial decision-making model for which agents in a population potentially alternate between two consumption strategies, one related to the exploitat…
