The main mechanisms that control the organization of multicellular tissues are still largely open. A commonly used tool to study basic control mechanisms are in vitro experiments in which the growth conditions can be widely varied. However, even in vitro experiments are not free from unknown or...

The restrictive assumptions imposed by the traditional methods of aggregation prevented so far a sound analysis of complex system of feedback between microeconomic variables and macroeconomic outcomes. This issue seems to be crucial in macroeconomic modelling, in particular for the analysis of...

This paper introduces heterogeneous microeconomic behavior into a demand-driven stock-flow consistent model with endogenous credit creation, so as to study the joint dynamics of both the personal and the functional distribution of income, household debt and aggregate demand. The distinctive...

The present paper emphasises that socioeconomic systems are complex systems due to two entangled categories characterising their constituents: heterogeneity and interaction as the main sources of complexity and emergence. This perspective is developed by reasoning on the double-face problem of...

The limit order book is a device for storing demand and effecting trades that is the primary mechanism for price formation in most modern financial markets. We study the limit order book under a random process model of order flow, using simulations and an analytic treatment based on a master...

We consider a kinetic equation approach to dynamical systems with finite memory, based upon a probabilistic approach given in Dorofeenko and Shorish (2004). This approach uses a master equation methodology to analytically model the dynamics of distributed systems with many heterogeneous agents,...
