Universality of citation distributions: towards an objective measure of scientific impact
Filippo Radicchi, Santo Fortunato, Claudio Castellano
We study the distributions of citations received by a single publication within several disciplines, spanning broad areas of science. We show that the probability that an article i…
Collaborate, compete and share
Emanuele Pugliese, Claudio Castellano, Matteo Marsili +1
We introduce and study a model of an interacting population of agents who collaborate in groups which compete for limited resources. Groups are formed by random matching agents and…

Statistical physics has proven to be a very fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the realm of traditional physics. The last years have witnessed the attempt by physicis…
Statistical physics of the Schelling model of segregation
Luca Dall'Asta, Claudio Castellano, Matteo Marsili
We investigate the static and dynamic properties of a celebrated model of social segregation, providing a complete explanation of the mechanisms leading to segregation both in one-…
