Linking microscopic and macroscopic behavior is at the heart of many natural and social sciences. This apparent similarity conceals essential differences across disciplines: Although physical particles are assumed to optimize the global energy, economic agents maximize their own utility. Here, we solve exactly a Schelling-like segregation model, which interpolates continuously between cooperative and individual dynamics. We show that increasing the degree of cooperativity induces a qualitative…

Effective Free Energy for Individual Dynamics
- PhysicsAdv. Complex Syst.
- 2011
This paper builds both on statistical mechanics and the game theory notion of Potential Function to introduce a rigorous generalization of the physicist's free energy, which includes individual dynamics, which paves the way to analytical treatments of a wide range of socio-economic models and might bring new insights into them.
Self-Organized Societies: On the Sakoda Model of Social Interactions
- EconomicsComplex.

We characterize the behavior and the social structures appearing from a model of general social interaction proposed by Sakoda. The model consists of two interacting populations in a two-dimensional…

We investigate the Schelling model of social segregation, formulated as an intrinsically nonequilibrium system, in which the agents occupy districts (or patches) rather than sites on a grid. We show…
Dynamical cooperation model for mitigating the segregation phase in Schelling’s model
- EconomicsThe European Physical Journal B

We consider a Schelling-like segregation model, in which the behavior of individual agents is determined by a mixed individual and global utility. With a high ratio of global utility being…
Eco-evolutionary Spatial Dynamics of Nonlinear Social Dilemmas

Abstract Spatial dynamics can promote the evolution of cooperation. While dispersal processes have been studied in simple evolutionary games, real-world social dilemmas are much more complicated. The…
Ecological feedback on diffusion dynamics
- Environmental SciencebioRxiv
- 2018
A thorough analysis of the ecologically driven evolutionary dynamics in a spatially extended version of ecological public goods games is presented and it is shown how these evolutionary dynamics feed back into shaping the ecology, thus together determining the fate of the system.
Eco-evolutionary spatial dynamics of non-linear social dilemmas
- EconomicsbioRxiv
- 2019
It is shown how the non-linearity in payoffs, resulting in synergy or discounting of public goods can alter the effective rate of return on the cooperative investment and the combined eco-evolutionary trajectory can be qualitatively different in cases on non- linear social dilemmas.
Schelling segregation in an open city: a kinetically constrained Blume-Emery-Griffiths spin-1 system.
- PhysicsPhysical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics
- 2010
A version of this multiagent model allowing for exchanges with an external reservoir of agents, directly related to the zero-temperature dynamics of the Blume-Emery-Griffiths spin-1 model, with kinetic constraints is presented.
Mathematical analysis of a hybrid model: Impacts of individual behaviors on the spreading of an epidemic

In this paper, we investigate the well-posedness and dynamics of a class of hybrid models, obtained by coupling a system of ordinary differential equations and an agent-based model. These hybrid…
Competition among networks highlights the power of the weak
- Computer ScienceNature Communications
- 2016
This work uses network science and game theory to explore interactions in networks-of-networks and model these as a game for gaining importance, and proposes a viewpoint where networks choose the connection strategies, in contrast with classical approaches where nodes are the active players.

The systemic effects are found to be overwhelming: there is no simple correspondence of individual incentive to collective results, and a general theory of ‘tipping’ begins to emerge.

New and increasingly detailed survey data on preferences demonstrates the embeddedness of the Schelling selection process in the social behaviors of choosing alternative residential compositions and demonstrates that, in the multicultural context, seemingly mild preferences for living with similar neighbors carry the potential to be strong determinants for own race selectivity and residential segregation.
