We adopt the so-called occupation number representation, originally used in quantum mechanics and recently considered in the description of stock markets, in the analysis of the dynamics of love relations. We start with a simple model, involving two actors (Alice and Bob): in the linear case we obtain periodic dynamics, whereas in the nonlinear regime, either periodic or quasi-periodic solutions are found. Then we extend the model to a love triangle involving Alice, Bob, and a third actress…

Matrix Computations for the Dynamics of Fermionic Systems
In a series of recent papers we have shown how the dynamical behavior of certain classical systems can be analyzed using operators evolving according to Heisenberg-like equations of motions. In…

Modified models for love and their dynamical properties
In this work, we modify the present linear and nonlinear dynamic models of love between two individuals. For the linear system, we make the model more realistic by introducing external perturbation…

TLDR
Three ordinary dierential equations are proposed to model the dynamics of love between Petrarch and Laura and show that the poet's emotions followed for about 20 years a quite regular cyclical pattern ranging from the extremes of ecstasy to despair.

TLDR
This paper examines a sequence of dynamical models involving coupled ordinary differential equations describing the time-variation of the love or hate displayed by individuals in a romantic relationship that start with a linear system of two individuals and advance to love triangles and finally to include the effect of nonlinearities, which are shown to produce chaos.
