Human behavior often exhibit a scheme in which individuals adopt indifferent, neutral, or radical positions on a given topic. The mechanisms leading to community formation are strongly related with social pressure and the topology of the contact network. Here, we discuss an approach to model social behavior which accounts for the protection by alike peers proportional to their relative abundanc...

one of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. in this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. we also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...

Carnivore populations globally have largely declined, and coexistence, where humans carnivores share landscapes, plays a crucial role in carnivore conservation. However, the term “coexistence” is often used scientific popular literature without being clearly defined. Herein, we provide global perspective on what coexistence how it studied. We conducted systematic map of 366 articles published b...

The coexistence of multiple types of interactions within social, technological and biological networks has moved the focus of the physics of complex systems towards a multiplex description of the interactions between their constituents. This novel approach has unveiled that the multiplex nature of complex systems has strong influence in the emergence of collective states and their critical prop...

We introduce the concept of dynamical phase coexistence to provide a simple solution for a long-standing problem in theoretical ecology, the so-called "savanna problem". The challenge is to understand why in savanna ecosystems trees and grasses coexist in a robust way with large spatiotemporal variability. We propose a simple model, a variant of the contact process (CP), which includes two key ...
