Size distribution of scientific paradigms in the Bornholdt-Jensen-Sneppen model on complex networks — Kim Philipp Jablonski¹ and •Jens Christian Claussen^1,2 — ¹Computational Life Science Program, Jacobs University Bremen — ²Computational Systems Biology, Jacobs University Bremen

The Bornholdt-Jensen-Sneppen model [1] describes the emergence and decay of scientific paradigms by a stochastic dynamics of imitation of neighboring strategies, based on their overall abundance, in competition with a second mutational process introducing a new paradigm. This model has been shown to exhibit a powerlaw 2.5 statistics of the overall number of sites that have been touched by a paradigm. Here, we investigate the corresponding generalizations of this dynamics on complex networks. Our simulations indicate that, apart from minor deviations, the shape of the statistics remains preserved on different network topologies.
