Income distribution dependence of poverty measure: A theoretical analysis
Chattopadhyay, Amit K.; Mallick, Sushanta K. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 377 (2007) 1, pp. 241-252
Using a modified deprivation (or poverty) function, in this paper, we theoretically study the changes in poverty with respect to the ‘global’ mean and variance of the income distribution using Indian survey data. We show that when the income obeys a log-normal distribution, a rising mean...

Simulating the Impact of Compact City Policy on Two Korean Cities: Daejeon and Hwaseong
Kim, Donghan; Han, Haejin - 2015
The notion of compact city has become an important planning agenda to achieve a sustainable urban future. Although there is no universally accepted definition of a compact city, in terms of land use, the concept generally focuses on high-density and mixed-use development along with the promotion...

Cellular Automata Modelling of Dynamics of Volumes of Sales of a Trade Company
Zhikharevich Vladimir V.; Matsyuk Nataliya A. - In: Business Inform (2013) 2, pp. 75-79
The article substantiates expediency of use of the multi-agent simulation modelling in the study of dynamics of complex economic systems. It shows a possibility to use cellular automata in construction of simulation economic models, particularly models of consumers' behaviour, in principle. It...

The fundamental diagram of pedestrian model with slow reaction
Fang, Jun; Qin, Zheng; Hu, Hao; Xu, Zhaohui; Li, Huan - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 391 (2012) 23, pp. 6112-6120
The slow-to-start models are a classical cellular automata model in simulating vehicle traffic. However, to our knowledge, the slow-to-start effect has not been considered in modeling pedestrian dynamics. We verify the similar behavior between pedestrian and vehicle, and propose an new lattice...

Crowd Disasters as Systemic Failures: Analysis of the Love Parade Disaster
Helbing, Dirk; Mukerji, Pratik - Department of Management, Technology and Economics …
Each year, crowd disasters happen in different areas of the world. How and why do such disasters happen? Are the fatalities caused by relentless behavior of people or a psychological state of panic that makes the crowd 'go mad'? Or are they a tragic consequence of a breakdown of coordination?...
