\(u_2(t)\) | Total number of moderates at time t |
p(t) | Total number of police at time t |
\(v_1(t)\) | Total number of protester AofA at time t |
\(v_2(t)\) | Total number of police AofA at time t |
\(\tau (t)\) | Social tension level at time t, sometimes denoted \(\tau\) |
\(\tau _c\) | Critical tension needed for disruptive demonstrators to become violent |
\(v_c\) | Number of AofA perpetrated by protesters for police to engage |
\(T_1\) | Probability modulators of the number of AofA of protesters |
\(T_1\) | Probability modulators of the number of AofA of police |
\(\epsilon\) | Exit rate of protesters |
\(\omega\) | Rate of decrease of tension |
\(\theta\) | Increase of tension per act of violence |
