The decay of unstable states when several metastable states are available for occupation is investigated using path-integral techniques. Specifically, a method is described which a…
Food Web Structure and the Evolution of Ecological Communities
Christopher Quince, Paul G. Higgs, Alan J. McKane
Simulations of the coevolution of many interacting species are performed using the Webworld model. The model has a realistic set of predator-prey equations that describe the popula…
Connecting the vulcanization transition to percolation
Weiqun Peng, Paul M. Goldbart, Alan J. McKane
The vulcanization transition is addressed via a minimal replica-field-theoretic model. The appropriate long-wave-length behavior of the two- and three-point vertex functions is con…
