Network Structure


The importance of the networks is being extended to the technological and economic systems, which are becoming in real complex networks. This complexity and the instability of the behaviour of these systems put them in a high risk of turning localized breakdowns that evolve into cascading failures and or financial crisis. A network analysis ofContinueContinue reading “Network Structure”

Networks


  Networks Today is a time of connectedness. Modern society is facing a great spectrum of forms to express their ideas and connect with people into the whole world. This connectedness may develop different sources of information. In fact, the connectedness is a source of information. From all the social networks that in this momentContinueContinue reading “Networks”

SES’s Sustainability


As it was mentioned, both social systems and ecological systems are considered as complex system due its emergency and the interaction among their agents. But also the system composed from the imperative relation among them is indeed a complex system. More precisely a Complex Adaptive System. Actually, this relation has a great importance due to the increasingContinueContinue reading “SES’s Sustainability”

Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS)


CAS may be viewed as systems composed of interacting agents which behaviour is described in terms of rules. Each of these agents that form part of the system has its own behaviour that adapt by changing their rules as experience accumulates. The problem is that considering this adaptability in each part of the system, theContinueContinue reading “Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS)”

Statistical Physics, complex systems and social problems


The concepts of Statistical Physics have been applied in several ways to the study of the economic and social problems. This has generated divers approximations and models that may be applied under different circumstances and with different objectives. One of them is the study of the social hierarchies considered in the Bonabeau model. The emergent collective behaviourContinueContinue reading “Statistical Physics, complex systems and social problems”

Econophysics and Sociophysics origins


Ludwig Boltzmann: “The molecules are like individuals, … and the properties of gases only remain unaltered, because the number of htese molecules, which on the average have a given state, is constant,” “This opens a broad perspective, if we do not only think of mechanical objects. Let’s consider to apply this method to the statisticsContinueContinue reading “Econophysics and Sociophysics origins”

Complexity


The big cities, the human immune system, the mammalian central nervous system, the economy and the ecology share behavioural characteristics. All of them look for maintain coherence and all of them look for the adaptation.   All of the systems mentioned above, are in continue changing and adaptation. In all of them exist a dynamics inContinueContinue reading “Complexity”

Complexity Theory


What is complexity? Complexity is the characteristic that shows the interconnection of the elements that form a system and that define its behaviour. This characteristic may be represented like a network in which the elements of the systems are the nodes, and the bounds that exist between these elements, symbolize the interaction that exists betweenContinueContinue reading “Complexity Theory”
