Urban Dynamics Through the Lens of Human Mobility
Yanyan Xu, Luis E. Olmos, David Mateo +3
The urban spatial structure represents the distribution of public and private spaces in cities and how people move within them. While it usually evolves slowly, it can change fast…
A model for the generation of road networks
Carlos Molinero, Alberto Hernando
As part of the effort undertaken to understand urban environments and their generation, we need to explore models that produce statistically valid configurations of roads. These so…
Maximum Entropy Principle underlying the dynamics of automobile sales
A. Hernando, D. Villuendas, M. Sulc +3
We analyze an exhaustive data-set of new-cars monthly sales. The set refers to 10 years of Spanish sales of more than 6500 different car model configurations and a total of 10M sol…
Space-time correlations in urban sprawl
A. Hernando, R. Hernando, A. Plastino
Understanding demographic and migrational patterns constitutes a great challenge. Millions of individual decisions, motivated by economic, political, demographic, rational, and/or…
Fisher-information and the thermodynamics of scale-invariant systems
A. Hernando, C. Vesperinas, A. Plastino
We present a thermodynamic formulation for scale-invariant systems based on the minimization with constraints of Fisher's information measure. In such a way a clear analogy between…
Zipf's law from a Fisher variational-principle
A. Hernando, D. Puigdomenech, D. Villuendas +2
Zipf's law is shown to arise as the variational solution of a problem formulated in Fisher's terms. An appropriate minimization process involving Fisher information and scale-invar…
