Bonabeau model on a fully connected graph

Physics and Society 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

Numerical simulations are reported on the Bonabeau model on a fully connected graph, where spatial degrees of freedom are absent. The control parameter is the memory factor f. The phase transition is observed at the dispersion of the agents power h_i. The critical value f_C shows a hysteretic behavior with respect to the initial distribution of h_i. f_C decreases with the system size; this decrease can be compensated by a greater number of fights between a global reduction of the distribution width of h_i. The latter step is equivalent to a partial forgetting.
