Model of mobile agents for sexual interactions networks
Tóm tắt
We present a novel model to simulate real social networks of complex
interactions, based in a system of colliding particles
(agents).
The network is build by keeping track of the collisions and evolves in
time with correlations which emerge due to the mobility of the agents.
Therefore, statistical features are a consequence only of local
collisions among its individual agents.
Agent dynamics is realized by an event-driven algorithm of collisions
where energy is gained as opposed to physical systems which have
dissipation.
The model reproduces empirical data from networks of sexual
interactions, not previously obtained with other approaches.
