Various Models for Socials Systems

Çağlar Tuncay

Department  of Physics / METU

After a short introduction of the complex systems, the populations of stock exchanges, languages, cities and countries are considered where the competitions between the populations of biological species are also treated. The irregularities, regularities or randomness in behaviors of these populations are discussed where random matrices or coupled maps are handled as two simple examples of the methods for mimicking the available empirical data.

Çağlar Tuncay graduated from METU Physics Department. His studied Solid State Physics for MSc. and PhD. theses. He wrote various books on science and history, theatre scripts, novels and stories for children or adults.  He currently is working on complex systems where the basic issue is randomness and regularities. He has publications in Europhysics Letters, International Journal of Modern Physics. He is working currently on bio-signals such as electrocardiograms or electroencephalograms.
