We study a lattice model of a prey–predator system. Mean-field approximation predicts that the active phase, i.e., one with a finite fraction of preys and predators, is a generic phase of this model. Moreover, within this approximation... more
We examine an evolutionary naming-game model where communicating agents are equipped with an evolutionarily selected learning ability. Such a coupling of biological and linguistic ingredients results in an abrupt transition: upon a small... more
Computational modelling with multi-agent systems is becoming an important technique of studying language evolution. We present a brief introduction into this rapidly developing field, as well as our own contributions that include an... more
We examine a weighted-network multiagent model with preferential selection such that agents choose partners with probability p(w), where w is the number of their past selections. When p(w) increases sublinearly with the number of past... more
We examine a community structure in random graphs of size n and link probability p/n determined with the Newman greedy optimization of modularity. Calculations show that for p<1 communities are nearly identical with clusters. For p=1... more
