Wealth distribution of simple exchange models coupled with extremal dynamics

N. Bagatella-Flores, M. Rodriguez-Achach, H. F. Coronel-Brizio +1

Punctuated Equilibrium (PE) states that after long periods of evolutionary quiescence, species evolution can take place in short time intervals, where sudden differentiation makes…

Class formation in a social network with asset exchange

Christian H. Sanabria, R. Huerta-Quintanilla, M. Rodriguez-Achach

We study two kinds of economic exchange, additive and multiplicative, in a system of N agents. The work is divided in two parts, in the first one, the agents are free to interact w…

Stylized Facts Generated Through Cellular Automata Models. Case of Study: The Game of Life

H. F. Coronel-Brizio, A. R. Hernandez-Montoya, M. E. Rodriguez-Achach +1

In the present work, a geometrical method to generate a two dimensional random walk by means of a bidimensional Cellular Automaton is presented. We illustrate it by means of Conway…

Evidence of Increment of Efficiency of the Mexican Stock Market Through the Analysis of its Variations

H. F. Coronel-Brizio, A. R. Hernandez-Montoya, R. Huerta-Quintanilla +1

It is well known that there exist statistical and structural differences between the stock markets of developed and emerging countries. In this work, we present an analysis of the…

Condensation in an Economic Model with Brand Competition

L. Casillas, F. J. Espinosa, R. Huerta-Quintanilla +1

We present a linear agent based model on brand competition. Each agent belongs to one of the two brands and interacts with its nearest neighbors. In the process the agent can decid…

The distribution of wealth in the presence of altruism for simple economic models

M. Rodriguez-Achach, R. Huerta-Quintanilla

We study the effect of altruism in two simple asset exchange models: the yard sale model (winner gets a random fraction of the poorer player's wealth) and the theft and fraud model…

Quantum and Thermal Corrections to a Classically Chaotic Dissipative System

M. Rodriguez-Achach, G. Perez, H. Cerdeira

The effects of quantum and thermal corrections on the dynamics of a damped nonlinearly kicked harmonic oscillator are studied. This is done via the Quantum Langevin Equation formal…

The role of mutation rate in a simple colonization model

R. Huerta-Quintanilla, M. Rodriguez-Achach

We study the effect of mutations in a simple model of colonization, based on Montecarlo simulations. When the population colonizes the whole available habitat, a maximum population…

The Vocabulary of Introductory Physics and its Implications for Learning Physics

S. Itza-Ortiz, N. S. Rebello, D. Zollman +1

We investigate studnets' use of words used in everyday language as well as in physics. We find students are more likely to identify and explain the meaning of the word as it is use…

Extended States in a One-dimensional Generalized Dimer Model

P. Ojeda, R. Huerta Quintanilla, M. Rodriguez-Achach

The transmission coefficient for a one dimensional system is given in terms of Chebyshev polynomials using the tight-binding model. This result is applied to a system composed of t…
