Sociophysics Simulations I: Language Competition

Physics and Society 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

Using a bit-string model similar to biological simulations, the competition between different languages is simulated both without and with spatial structure. We compare our agent-based work with differential equations and the competing bit-string model of Kosmidis et al.
