A 3-states magnetic model of binary decisions in sociophysics

Physics and Society 2016-11-02 v3 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We study a diluted Blume-Capel model of 3-state sites as an attempt to understand how some social processes as cooperation or organization happen. For this aim we study the effect of the complex network topology on the equilibrium properties of the model, by focusing on three different substrates: random graph, Watts-Strogatz and Newman substrates.
