Dynamical features of tagged particles are studied in a one dimensional $A+A \rightarrow kA$ system for $k=0$ and 1, where the particles $A$ have a bias $\epsilon$ $(0 \leq \epsilon \leq 0.5)$ to hop one step in the direction of their…
Collective behavior is studied in globally coupled maps. Several coherent motions exist, even in fully desynchronized state. To characterize the collective behavior, we introduce scaling transformation of parameter, and detect the…
We propose a model to represent the motility of social elements. The model is completely deterministic, possesses a small number of parameters, and exhibits a series of properties that are reminiscent of the behavior of comunities in…
Whether or not there is growing static order accompanying the dynamical heterogeneity and increasing relaxation times seen in glassy systems is a matter of dispute. An obstacle to resolving this issue is that the order is expected to be…
