Structure-generating mechanisms in agent-based models
R. Vilela Mendes
The emergence of dynamical structures in multi-agent systems is analysed. Three different mechanisms are identified, namely: (1) sensitive-dependence and convex coupling, (2) sensi…
Function and form in networks of interacting agents
Tanya Araujo, R. Vilela Mendes
The main problem we address in this paper is whether function determines form when a society of agents organizes itself for some purpose or whether the organizing method is more im…
Gauge strata and particle generations
R. Vilela Mendes
Phenomenological evidence suggests the existence of non-trivial background fields in the QCD vacuum. On the other hand SU(3) gauge theory possessses three different classes of both…
Language identification of controlled systems: Modelling, control and anomaly detection
J. F. Martins, J. A. Dente, A. J. Pires +1
Formal language techniques have been used in the past to study autonomous dynamical systems. However, for controlled systems, new features are needed to distinguish between informa…
From synchronization to multistability in two coupled quadratic maps
Rui Carvalho, Bastien Fernandez, R. Vilela Mendes
The phenomenology of a system of two coupled quadratic maps is studied both analytically and numerically. Conditions for synchronization are given and the bifurcations of periodic…
Lyapunov exponent in quantum mechanics. A phase-space approach
V. I. Man'ko, R. Vilela Mendes
Using the symplectic tomography map, both for the probability distributions in classical phase space and for the Wigner functions of its quantum counterpart, we discuss a notion of…
