Complex Networks Structure, dynamics, robustness and resilience of complex networks
Sociophysics means the use and application of model and tools of statistical physics to help understand the behavior of complex systems composed of interacting agents. Critical behavior, phase transitions, and dynamical systems are concepts used in Sociophysics. Recent advances and ideas from network theory are used prominently too.
Complex Systems is at the interface between condensed matter and statistical physics with networks and social phenomena. The focus is on applying statistical physics techniques to understand the dynamics and emerging properties of social, economic, and biological systems. It is an extension of physics beyond its traditional object of study, using similarities between the movement of atoms in a gas exchanging energy and people exchanging money or goods, for example. That is one of the analogies that enable the use of techniques and models enshrined in condensed matter physics for social systems. We apply theoretical-computational tools to socio physical problems.
