Simulation of Galam's contrarian opinions

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Galam's model of people voting always against the majority is shown to give for the quenched case different results than the original annealed model. For people diffusing on a lattice, Galam's phase transitions happen only at higher concentrations of people.
