Statistical physics has proven to be a fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the
realm of traditional physics. Recent years have witnessed an attempt by physicists to study …

We study structural properties of growing networks where both addition and deletion of
nodes are possible. Our model network evolves via two independent processes. With rate r …

We study a stochastic process that mimics single-game elimination tournaments. In our
model, the outcome of each match is stochastic: the weaker player wins with upset …

We study the effects of randomness on competitions based on an elementary random
process in which there is a finite probability that a weaker team upsets a stronger team. We …

Рассмотрены зарубежные и российские работы по социофизике: новому разделу
физики, изучающему процессы в человеческом обществе. В ч. 1 обсуждены влияние …

We consider a tournament among four equally strong semifinalists. The players have to
decide how much stamina to use in the semifinals, provided that the rest is available in the …

We propose and study a new model for competitions, specifically sports multi-player leagues
where the initial strengths of the teams are independent iid random variables that evolve …

We present the effect of mergers, a term which we use to mean a temporary alliance, in the
dynamics of the three-agent model studied by Ben-Naim, Kahng and Kim and by Rador and …

Considering a collection of agents representing the vertices of a graph endowed with integer
points, we study the asymptotic dynamics of the rate of the increase of their points according …

We study the dynamics of evolution of points of agents placed in the vertices of a graph
within the rules of two-agent units of competition where an edge is randomly chosen and the …
