Changing Opinions in a Changing World: a New Perspective in Sociophysics
A. Pluchino, V. Latora, A. Rapisarda
We propose a new model of opinion formation, the Opinion Changing Rate (OCR) model. Instead of investigating the conditions that allow consensus in a world of agents with different…
Multifractal analysis of Mt. St. Helens seismicity as a tool for identifying eruptive activity
Filippo Caruso, Sergio Vinciguerra, Vito Latora +2
We present a multifractal analysis of Mount St. Helens seismic activity during 1980-2002. The seismic time distribution is studied in relation to the eruptive activity, mainly mark…
Detection of invisible and crucial events: from seismic fluctuations to the war against terrorism
Paolo Allegrini, Leone Fronzoni, Paolo Grigolini +5
We prove the efficiency of a new method for the detection of crucial events that might have useful applications to the war against terrorism. This has to do with the search for rar…

Nonextensivity: from low-dimensional maps to Hamiltonian systems
C. Tsallis, A. Rapisarda, V. Latora +1
We present a brief pedagogical guided tour of the most recent applications of nextensive statistical mechanics to well defined nonlinear dynamical systems, ranging from one-dimensi…
Negative specific heat in out-of-equilibrium nonextensive systems
A. Rapisarda, V. Latora
We discuss the occurrence of negative specific heat in a nonextensive system which has an equilibrium second-order phase transition.The specific heat is negative only in a transien…
