Competition of languages in the presence of a barrier

Christian Schulze and Dietrich Stauffer

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2007, vol. 379, issue 2, 661-664

Abstract: Using the Schulze model for Monte Carlo simulations of language competition, we include a barrier between the top half and the bottom half of the lattice. We check under which conditions two different languages evolve as dominating in the two halves.
