    The Role of Noise and Initial Conditions in the Asymptotic Solution of a Bounded Confidence, Continuous-Opinion Model

    We study a model for continuous-opinion dynamics under bounded confidence. In particular, we analyze the importance of the initial distribution of opinions in determining the asymptotic configuration. Thus, we...

    On the Nonextensivity of the Long Range X-Y Model

    It will be given analytical and numerical evidence supporting that the X-Y model yields an extensive, i.e., proportional to the number of degrees of freedom N, internal energy U for any value of the interaction r...

    Linear Instability Mechanisms of Noise-Induced Phase Transitions

    We review the role of linear instabilities on phase transition processes induced by external spatiotemporal noise. In particular, we present a detailed linear stability analysis of a standard Ginzburg-Landau m...

    The phase diagram of the Flory-Huggins-de Gennes model of a binary polymer blend

    We undertake a numerical study of the Flory-Huggins-de Gennes functional ind=3 dimensions describing a polymer blend. By discretising the functional on a three-dimensional lattice and employing the hybrid Monte C...
