In-depth analysis of the Naming Game dynamics: the homogeneous mixing case
Andrea Baronchelli, Vittorio Loreto, Luc Steels
Language emergence and evolution has recently gained growing attention through multi-agent models and mathematical frameworks to study their behavior. Here we investigate further t…
Vocabulary growth in collaborative tagging systems
Ciro Cattuto, Andrea Baldassarri, Vito D. P. Servedio +1
We analyze a large-scale snapshot of del.icio.us and investigate how the number of different tags in the system grows as a function of a suitably defined notion of time. We study t…
Cultural route to the emergence of linguistic categories
Andrea Puglisi, Andrea Baronchelli, Vittorio Loreto
Categories provide a coarse grained description of the world. A fundamental question is whether categories simply mirror an underlying structure of nature, or instead come from the…
Ring structures and mean first passage time in networks
Andrea Baronchelli, Vittorio Loreto
In this paper we address the problem of the calculation of the mean first passage time (MFPT) on generic graphs. We focus in particular on the mean first passage time on a node 's'…
Influence length and space-time correlation between earthquakes
Patrizia Tosi, Valerio De Rubeis, Vittorio Loreto +1
Short and long range interactions between earthquakes are attracting increasing interest. Scale invariant properties of seismicity in time, space and energy argue for the presence…
Internal avalanches in models of granular media
S. Krishnamurthy, H. J. Herrmann, V. Loreto +2
We study the phenomenon of internal avalanching within the context of recently introduced lattice models of granular media. The avalanche is produced by pulling out a grain at the…
