Definition of Atomistic Competition:
Adamistic
A market structure where firms are so numerous that the market represents perfect competition. In atomistic competition there will be the following features:
- Many small firms
- The absence of economies of scale
- Firms do not have the ability to set prices (they are price takers)
- Low Profits and low prices for consumers
Fraction of Native Contacts Is a Good Folding Coordinate for Atomistic Simulations. The fraction of native contacts, Q, is a natural choice of reaction coordinate for Gō-type models in which the energy is strongly correlated with Q; indeed, it often is a good reaction coordinate in those cases (a precise definition of Q is provided in SI Appendix). The definition of atomistic is relating to atoms or atomism or something composed of many simple elements. The Periodic Table of Elements is an example of something that is atomistic. A painting made up of simple shapes is an example of something that is atomistic.
Atomistic competition is quite rare in the real world. But, examples could include farmer’s markets for a product like potatoes. Many farmers sell their homogeneous product at the market, enabling customers to easily compare prices.
Atomistic Theory
Another example could be foreign exchange traders. The product is homogenous and there should be perfect information about the available prices.
