Limit States for One-dimensional Schelling Segregation Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Schelling model is one of a small number of “agent based” population models, where individual members of the population (agents) interact directly with other agents and move in space and time. In this note we study one-dimensional Schelling population models as dynamical systems and find formulas and precise asymptotics for the number of limit states.

Computing the Complexity for Schelling Segregation Models
The Schelling segregation models are “agent based” population models, where individual members of the population (agents) interact directly with other agents and move in space and time. In this note we study one-dimensional Schelling population models as finite dynamical systems. We define a natural notion of entropy which measures the complexity of the family of these dynamical systems. The en...

متن کاملSegregation That No One Seeks
This paper examines a series of Schelling-like models of residential segregation, in which agents prefer to be in the minority. We demonstrate that as long as agents care about the characteristics of their wider community, they tend to end up in a segregated state. We then investigate the process that causes this, and conclude that the result hinges on the similarity of informational states amo...
متن کاملA state equation for the Schelling's segregation model
An aspatial version for the famous Schelling’s segregation model has recently been proposed, which, called two-room model, is still in an agent-based format like the original Schelling model. In the present study, we propose a new, state equation version of the Schelling model. The new equation is based on the two-room model and is derived in terms of a set of discrete maps. Fixed point solutio...
