Equilibrium and noneqUiiibrium statistical thermodynamical approaches to modeling spatial interaction dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
Spatial interaction modeling can be embedded in the framework of statistical thermodynamics. This has been shown in part by Wilson and by Erlander, in particular. However, to complete the embedding, it is necessary to ask the dynamic question of how a migratory population evolves over time from one (observed) distribution at time t0 to another (observed) distribution at time tx, rather than just the question of how many people who started in one area at t0 ended in another at tx —with no regard to the intermediate locations of the migrants. The manner in which such evolutionary processes are addressed in the context of equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics serves as a basis for extending the spatial interaction model of human movement.

On relativistic models in the equilibrium statistical mechanics
Relativistic effects in the thermodynamical properties of interacting particle systems are investigated within the framework of the relativistic direct interaction theory in various forms of dynamics. In the front form of relativistic dynamics an exactly solvable model of a one-dimensional hard spheres gas is formulated and an equation of state and thermodynamical potentials for such a gas are ...

متن کاملSpatial interactions in agent-based modeling
Agent Based Modeling (ABM) has become a widespread approach to model complex interactions. In this chapter after briefly summarizing some features of ABM the different approaches in modeling spatial interactions are discussed. It is stressed that agents can interact either indirectly through a shared environment and/or directly with each other. In such an approach, higherorder variables such as...
