Recent actions by Labour politicians have highlighted the degree of differentiation among UK state secondary schools. This article uses data describing the characteristics of schools and the academic achievements of the children attending them to generate a typology. This is related to recent...

We introduce a class of models composed by lattices of coupled complex-amplitude oscillators which preserve the norm. These models are particularly well adapted to investigate phenomena described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The coupling between oscillators is parameterized by the...

We introduce a minimal agent model to explain the emergence of heavy-tailed return distributions as a result of self-organized criticality. The model assumes that agents trade their economic outputs with each other composing a complex network of agents and connections. Further, the incoming...

We investigate the propagation of bistable fronts in lattices of diffusively and advectively coupled cubic and quartic bistable maps, reporting the distribution of both stable states for asymmetric basins of attraction. The main effects of basin symmetry and local nonlinearities are obtained by...

We investigate the impact of bistability in the emergence of synchronization in networks of chaotic maps with delayed coupling. The existence of a single finite attractor of the uncoupled map is found to be responsible for the emergence of synchronization. No synchronization is observed when the...
