Threshold model of language competition including the bilingual state
Mikhail V. Tamm, Els Heinsalu, Stefano Scialla +1
We propose a threshold model of language competition which includes intermediate bilingual state. The model is based on the Minett-Wang model but through the introduction of thresh…

Learning thresholds lead to stable language coexistence
Mikhail V. Tamm, Els Heinsalu, Stefano Scialla +1
We introduce a language competition model that is based on the Abrams-Strogatz model and incorporates the effects of memory and learning in the language shift dynamics. On a coarse…

Path Counting on Tree-like Graphs with a Single Entropic Trap: Critical Behavior and Finite Size Effects
Alexey V. Gulyaev, Mikhail V. Tamm
It is known that maximal entropy random walks and partition functions that count long paths on graphs tend to become localized near nodes with a high degree. Here, we revisit the s…
