  1. 1. Reinforcement in Biology : Stochastic models of group formation and network construction

    Författare :Qi Ma; David Sumpter; Edward Codling; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; reinforcement in biology; merge and split model; preferential attachment; reinforced random walk; network construction; shortest path problem; transport networks; ant algorithm; slime mould; physarum polycephalum; speed-accuracy tradeoff.; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Sammanfattning : Empirical studies show that similar patterns emerge from a large number of different biological systems. For example, the group size distributions of several fish species and house sparrows all follow power law distributions with an exponential truncation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Mathematical models of biological interactions

    Författare :Linnéa Gyllingberg; David J.T. Sumpter; Kolbjörn Tunström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Sammanfattning : Mathematical models are used to describe and analyse different types of biological interactions.  From self-propelled particle models capturing the collective motion of fish schools to models in mathematical neuroscience describing the interactions between neurons to individual-based models of ecological interactions.

  4. 3. Modeling Specialization and Division of Labor in Cultural Evolution

    Författare :Micael Ehn; Eriksson Kimmo; Thomas Mark; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Specialization; Division of Labor; Cultural Evolution; Mathematics Applied Mathematics; matematik tillämpad matematik;

    Sammanfattning : Division of labor and division of knowledge are so important and common in society today that it is difficult to imagine a functional society where everyone knows the same things and performs the same tasks. In such a society everyone grows, or gathers, and prepares their own food, makes their own tools, builds their own house, and so on. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Data driven mathematical models for policy making

    Författare :Betty Nannyonga; David Sumpter; JYT Mugischa; LS Luboobi; Tom Britton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of two papers. 1. Betty Nannyonga, D.J. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Non-linear dynamic modelling for panel data in the social sciences

    Författare :Shyam Ranganathan; David JT Sumpter; Oliver Johnson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dynamical systems; stochastic models; Bayesian; panel data; social sciences; development; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Sammanfattning : Non-linearities and dynamic interactions between state variables are characteristic of complex social systems and processes. In this thesis, we present a new methodology to model these non-linearities and interactions from the large panel datasets available for some of these systems. LÄS MER
