Distance from home matters: Investigation of a basic movement strategy

Discovering the fundamental dynamical rules that generate the main statistical features of human mobility is essential for understanding the mechanisms underlying such processes. A prominent example is the exploration and preferential return model and its generalizations, which successfully reproduce several empirical findings. Here, we exploit another observation: the endpoint distances of a trip from the trajectory's starting point are strongly correlated. We consider a movement process in which each user performs a sequence of trips to satisfy a set of demands, given a spatial distribution of suppliers on a two-dimensional lattice. In each trip, destinations are chosen with a probability that depends on the ratio of the initial and final distances from the user's origin (home). We show that even a single agent with uniformly distributed demands and suppliers qualitatively reproduces key empirical statistics, such as the power-law distribution of traveled distances. The results are also robust to introducing interactions between agents via queues and incorporating more realistic demand and supplier distributions.

Systematic study of the completeness of two-dimensional classical $ϕ^4$ theory

The completeness of some classical statistical mechanical (SM) models is a recent result that has been developed by quantum formalism for the partition functions. In this paper, we consider a 2D classical $ϕ^4$ filed theory whose completeness has been proved in [V. Karimipour and et al, Phys. Rev. A 85, 032316]. We give a general systematic proof for the completeness of such a model where, by a few simple steps, we show how the partition function of an arbitrary classical field theory can be derived from a 2D classical $ϕ^4$ model. To this end, we start from various classical field theories containing models on arbitrary lattices and also $U(1)$ lattice gauge theories. Then we convert them to a new classical field model on a non-planar bipartite graph with imaginary kinetic terms. After that, we show that any polynomial function of the field in the corresponding Hamiltonian can approximately be converted to a $ϕ^4$ term by adding enough numbers of vertices to the bipartite graph. In the next step, we give a few graphical transformations to convert the final non-planar graph to a 2D rectangular lattice. We also show that the number of vertices which should be added grows polynomially with the number of vertices in the original model.
