Texto completo preprint.-- 05.40.-a Fluctuation phenomena, random processes, noise, and Brownian motion\ud89.65.-s Social and economic systems\ud02.50.Ey Stochastic processesWe study the evolution of the Axelrod model for cultural diversity, a prototypical non-equilibrium process that exhibits rich dynamics and a dynamic phase transition between diversity and an inactive state. We consider a simple version of the model in which each individual possesses two features that can assume q possibilities. Within a mean-field description in which each individual has just a few interaction partners, we find a phase transition at a critical value qc between an active, diverse state for q < qc and a frozen state. For q  qc, the density of active links is non-monotonic in time and the asymptotic approach to the steady state is controlled by a time scale that diverges as (q−qc)−1/2.We thank A. Vespignani for helpful comments on\udthe manuscript and gratefully acknowledge nancial\udsupport from the US National Science Foundation grant\udDMR0535503.Peer reviewe
