Economics as an Agent-Based Complex System Toward Agent-Based Social Systems Sciences
In agent-based modeling the focus is very much on agent-based simulation, as simulation is a very important tool for agent-based modeling. We also use agent-based simulation in this book with a stress on the mathematical foundation of agent-based modeling. We introduce two original mathematical fram...
