Abstract

A dynamical model for the distribution of resources between competing agents is studied. While global competition leads to the accumulation of all the resources by a single agent, local competition allows for a wider resource distribution. Multiplicative processes give rise to almost-ordered spatial structures, thourgh the enhancement of random fluctuations.
