While the use of spatial agent-based and individual-based models has flourished across many scientific disciplines, the complexities these models generate are often difficult to manage and quantify. This research reduces population-driven,…
Human dynamics and sociophysics suggest statistical models that may explain and provide us with better insight into social phenomena. Here we tackle the problem of determining the distribution of the population density of a social space…
Measures of wealth and production have been found to scale superlinearly with the population of a city. Therefore, it makes economic sense for humans to congregate together in dense settlements. A recent model of population dynamics showed…
In this work, we discuss a cell-cell repulsion population dynamic model based on a hyperbolic Keller-Segel equation with two populations. This model can well describe the cell growth and dispersion in the cell co-culture experiment in the…
Understanding demographic and migrational patterns constitutes a great challenge. Millions of individual decisions, motivated by economic, political, demographic, rational, and/or emotional reasons underlie the high complexity of…
The spatial heterogeneity of cities -- the uneven distribution of population and activities -- is fundamental to urban dynamics and related to critical issues such as infrastructure overload, housing affordability, and social inequality.…
In this study, we analyze the relationship between human population growth and economic dynamics. To do so, we present a modified version of the Verhulst model and the Solow model, which together simulate population dynamics and the role of…
The Keller-Segel model is a system of partial differential equations modelling chemotactic aggregation in cellular systems. This model has blowing up solutions for large enough initial conditions in dimensions d >= 2, but all the solutions…
Analysis of the urban population fraction data for sixteen populous countries over the last fifty years reveals a universal increase in urbanization, exhibiting four qualitatively distinct temporal patterns: (i) continuously accelerating…
Individual participants in human society collectively exhibit aggregation behavior. In this study, we present a simple microscopic model of labor force migration based on the active Brownian particles framework. In particular, agent-based…
The spreading of bacterial populations is central to processes in agriculture, the environment, and medicine. However, existing models of spreading typically focus on cells in unconfined settings--despite the fact that many bacteria inhabit…
This article presents a partial differential equation (PDE) of Keller-Segel (KS) type that reproduces patterns commonly observed during the growth of brain microvasculature. We provide mathematical insights into the mechanisms underlying…
Scaling has been proposed as a powerful tool to analyze the properties of complex systems, and in particular for cities where it describes how various properties change with population. The empirical study of scaling on a wide range of…
This paper is mainly devoted to lay an empirical foundation for further research on complex spatial dynamics of two-population interaction. Based on the US population census data, a rural and urban population interaction model is developed.…
We introduce a broad class of spatial models to describe how spatially heterogeneous populations live, die, and reproduce. Individuals are represented by points of a point measure, whose birth and death rates can depend both on spatial…
We investigate nonlinear dynamics near an unstable constant equilibrium in the classical Keller-Segel model. Given any general perturbation of magnitude $\delta$, we prove that its nonlinear evolution is dominated by the corresponding…
Urban population density always follows the exponential distribution and can be described with Clark's model. Because of this, the spatial distribution of urban population used to be regarded as non-fractal pattern. However, Clark's model…
Chemotaxis systems of Keller--Segel type constitute one of the central mathematical frameworks for understanding aggregation phenomena in biological and ecological systems. Over the past decades, the theory has evolved from the classical…
Our computational economic analysis investigates the relationship between inequality, mobility and the financial accumulation process. Extending the baseline model by Levy et al., we characterise the economic process through stylised return…
A good understanding of cities is crucial to implement urban planning policies leading to social and economic sustainability and an efficient use of resources. While urban concentration has been associated with both positive and negative…
