Revisiting the coupling between accessibility and population growth
Valerio Volpati, Marc Barthelemy
The coupling between population growth and transport accessibility has been an elusive problem for more than 60 years now. Due to the lack of theoretical foundations, most of the s…
Tomography of scaling
Marc Barthelemy
Scaling describes how a given quantity that characterizes a system varies with its size . For most complex systems it is of the form with a nontrivial value of t…
Modeling cities
Marc Barthelemy
Cities are systems with a large number of constituents and agents interacting with each other and can be considered as emblematic of complex systems. Modeling these systems is a re…
The statistical physics of Cities
Marc Barthelemy
Challenges due to the rapid urbanization of the world -- especially in emerging countries -- range from an increasing dependence on energy, to air pollution, socio-spatial inequali…
The optimal geometry of transportation networks
David Aldous, Marc Barthelemy
Motivated by the shape of transportation networks such as subways, we consider a distribution of points in the plane and ask for the network of given length that is optimal…
Efficiency and shrinking in evolving networks
Arianna Bottinelli, Marco Gherardi, Marc Barthelemy
Characterizing the spatio-temporal evolution of networks is a central topic in many disciplines. While network expansion has been studied thoroughly, less is known about how empiri…
Critical factors for mitigating car traffic in cities
Vincent Verbavatz, Marc Barthelemy
Car traffic in urban systems has been studied intensely in past decades but models are either limited to a specific aspect of traffic or applied to a specific region. Despite the i…
