Democratic Principles

All voting procedures are susceptible to give rise, if not to paradoxes, at least to violations of some democratic principles. In this paper, we evaluate and compare the propensity of various voting rules -belonging to the class of scoring rules- to satisfy two versions of the majority principle. We consider the asymptotic case where the numbers of voters tends to infinity and, for each rule, we study with the help of Monte Carlo methods how this propensity varies as a function of the number of candidates.

Theory Of Aging

The sexual version of the Penna model of biological aging, simulated since 1996, is compared here with alternative forms of reproduction as well as with models not involving aging. In particular we want to check how sexual forms of life could have evolved and won over earlier asexual forms hundreds of million years ago. This computer model is based on the mutation-accumulation theory of aging, using bits-strings to represent the genome. Its population dynamics is studied by Monte Carlo methods.

Present Simulation

ABSTRACTThe temperature dependence of disordering of Cu3Au during ion irradiation has been investigated by computer simulations using MONTE CARLO methods. The investigation was motivated by peculiar experimental observations that the initial disordering rate begins to decrease above ~300 K, which can be explained by vacancies just becoming mobile at that temperature, but then at ~ 475 K, it reaches a minimum and then increases rapidly as the temperature is further increased, up to the order-disorder temperature. The present simulation shows that this behavior can be understood in terms of temperatures dependencies in both atomic mixing in the cascade and the efficiency of vacancy annealing of disorder as the vacancies diffuse out of the cascade.
