Harmony in the Small-World
Massimo Marchiori, Vito Latora
The Small-World phenomenon, popularly known as six degrees of separation, has been mathematically formalized by Watts and Strogatz in a study of the topological properties of a net…
Time evolution of thermodynamic entropy for conservative and dissipative chaotic maps
M. Baranger, V. Latora, A. Rapisarda
We consider several low--dimensional chaotic maps started in far-from-equilibrium initial conditions and we study the process of relaxation to equilibrium. In the case of conservat…
Dynamical Quasi-Stationary States in a system with long-range forces
Vito Latora, Andrea Rapisarda
The Hamiltonian Mean Field model describes a system of N fully-coupled particles showing a second-order phase transition as a function of the energy. The dynamics of the model pres…
Chaos in the thermodynamic limit
V. Latora, A. Rapisarda, S. Ruffo
We study chaos in the Hamiltonian Mean Field model (HMF), a system with many degrees of freedom in which classical rotators are fully coupled. We review the most important resu…
