On discrete and continuous state adaptive network models: with an application to self-organisation in swarming systems

We consider adaptive network models with discrete and continuous state sets obeying dynamical rules that enable application to swarming systems. The 2-state adaptive network contains a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation in the transition between ordered and disordered stationary solutions. We derive an adaptive network model that works on a...

Towards a Tailored Institutional Analysis within the Complex Systems of Delta Regions - The Design of a Tool for Institutional Analysis regarding Flood Risk Management in the Delta Cities of New Orleans, USA and Rotterdam, the Netherlands

In the complex, adaptive systems of delta regions institutions are needed to arrange the behavior of the parties involved in the system. Institutions are systems of interrelated shared concepts consisting of strategies, rules and embedded norms used by humans to structure situations. When looking at the characteristics of a complex adaptive...
