Distribution of repetitions of ancestors in genealogical trees
B. Derrida, S. C. Manrubia, D. H. Zanette
We calculate the probability distribution of repetitions of ancestors in a genealogical tree for simple neutral models of a closed population with sexual reproduction and non-overl…
Globally coupled bistable elements as a model of group decision making
Damian H. Zanette
A simple mathematical model is proposed to study the effect of the average trend of a population on the opinion of each individual, when a group decision has to be made by voting.…
Statistical-thermodynamical foundations of anomalous diffusion
Damian H. Zanette
It is shown that Tsallis' generalized statistics provides a natural frame for the statistical-thermodynamical description of anomalous diffusion. Within this generalized theory, a…
Stochastic multiplicative processes with reset events
Susanna C. Manrubia, Damian H. Zanette
We study a stochastic multiplicative process with reset events. It is shown that the model develops a stationary power-law probability distribution for the relevant variable, whose…
Statistical properties of genealogical trees
Bernard Derrida, Susanna C. Manrubia, Damian H. Zanette
We analyse the statistical properties of genealogical trees in a neutral model of a closed population with sexual reproduction and non-overlapping generations. By reconstructing th…
