Long-range interactions in Sznajd consensus model

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The traditional Sznajd model, as well as its Ochrombel simplification, for opinion spreading are modified to have a convincing strength proportional to a negative power of the spatial distance. We find the usual phase transition in the full Sznajd model, but not in the Ochrombel simplification. We also mix the two rules, which favours a phase transition.
