While studying populations dynamics of two groups of equal size, Schelling found a threshold such that leads to a random population configuration and leads to a segregated population.

In 1971, the American economist Thomas Schelling created an agent-based model that suggested inadvertent behavior might also contribute to segregation.

to the clustering out-comes of the Schelling segregation model (1). The physical analogue is interesting and it is intriguing to learn that there are physical parallels to social processes with …

Apr 1, 2024 · Thomas Schelling developed three types of models: A linear-distribution model, an area-distribution model, and a bounded-neighbourhood model, each of them having somewhat …

Sep 1, 2021 · One of the simplest versions of Schelling’s segregation model consists in a stylised representation of a residential area where individuals repeatedly make relocation decisions …

In this article a unified mathematical framework for Schelling’s model and its many variants is developed.

In the Schelling model, agents occupy cells of rectangular space. A cell can be occupied by a single agent only. Agents belong to one of two groups and are able to relocate according to …

In 1969, Thomas C. Schelling developed a simple but striking model of racial segregation [Sch69]. His model studies the dynamics of racially mixed neighborhoods. Like much of Schelling’s …

5 days ago · The resemblance between Schelling’s model of residential segregation and the dynamics of other physical systems has led to a vast production of literature on extensions of …

Although the physical analogue explains clustering and separating, the most important issue in the Schelling model, from a social perspective, is how choices play out in the social fabric and …
