Entropy and hierarchical clustering: characterising the morphology of the urban fabric in different spatial cultures
E. Brigatti, V. M. Netto, F. N. M. de Sousa Filho +1
In this work, we develop a general method for estimating the Shannon entropy of a bidimensional sequence based on the extrapolation of block entropies. We apply this method to anal…
Polarization inhibits the phase transition of Axelrod's model
Carlos Gracia-Lázaro, Edgardo Brigatti, Alexis R. Hernández +1
We study the effect of polarization in Axelrod's model of cultural dissemination. This is done through the introduction of a cultural feature that takes only two values, while the…
From form to information: Analysing built environments in different spatial cultures
Vinicius M. Netto, Edgardo Brigatti, Caio Cacholas
Cities are different around the world, but does this fact have any relation to culture? The idea that urban form embodies idiosyncrasies related to cultural identities captures the…
Assessing Spatial Information in Physical Environments
Vinicius M. Netto, Edgardo Brigatti, Caio Cacholas +1
Many approaches have dealt with the hypothesis that the environment contain information, mostly focusing on how humans decode information from the environment in visual perception,…
Analysis of a networked social algorithm for collective selection of a committee of representatives
Alexis R. Hernandez, Carlos Gracia-Lazaro, Edgardo Brigatti +1
A recent work by Hernández et al. introduced a networked voting rule supported by a trust-based social network, where indications of possible representatives were based on individu…
A networked voting rule for democratic representation
Alexis R. Hernandez, Carlos Gracia-Lazaro, Edgardo Brigatti +1
We introduce a general framework for exploring the problem of selecting a committee of representatives with the aim of studying a networked voting rule based on a decentralized lar…
