The use of complex systems tools in problems outside physics is a well established tradition. Applications to social and biological problems are particularly common. Previously, I had introduced an opinion dynamics model where it is easy to introduce new interactions and influences between the agents. And I have also worked on an evolutionary model that shows that senescence can be a cons…
This project aims at studying Opinion Dynamics models, with an interest in both applications to real cases as well as from a purely theoretical point of view. Most of the models that we will use will be extensions of the CODA model. Consequences of interest to Statistical Mechanics problems will be studied. We will also compare the movement of opinion particles to the movements of element…
Understanding why we age is a long-lived open problem in evolutionary biology. Aging is prejudicial to the individual and evolutionary forces should prevent it, but many species show signs of senescence as individuals age. Here, I will propose a model for aging based on assumptions that are compatible with evolutionary theory: i) competition is between individuals; ii) there is some degre…
