We propose a modification in the Sznajd sociophysics model defined on the square lattice. For this purpose, we consider reputation-a mechanism limiting the agents' persuasive power. The reputation is introduced as a time-dependent score,…
In this work we study a modified version of the two-dimensional Sznajd sociophysics model. In particular, we consider the effects of agents' reputations in the persuasion rules. In other words, a high-reputation group with a common opinion…
In this work we study a Sznajd-like opinion dynamics on a square lattice of linear size $L$. For this purpose, we consider that each agent has a convincing power $C$, that is a time-dependent quantity. Each high convincing power group of…
We propose a model of opinion dynamics which describes two major types of social influence -- conformity and independence. Conformity in our model is described by the so called outflow dynamics (known as Sznajd model). According to…
The method of Damage Spreading was used to simulate the influence that a single persons' change of opionion has on the consensus opinion built up in a population if one assumes opinions to form according to the Sznajd Model. The results…
In the consensus model of Sznajd, opinions are integers and a randomly chosen pair of neighbouring agents with the same opinion forces all their neighbours to share that opinion. We propose a simple extension of the model to continuous…
In the last decade the Sznajd Model has been successfully employed in modeling some properties and scale features of both proportional and majority elections. We propose a new version of the Sznajd model with a generalized bounded…
In this modification of the Sznajd consensus model on the square lattice, two people of arbitrary distance who agree in their opinions convince their nearest neighbours of this opinion. Similarly to the mean field theory of Slanina and…
The Sznajd model, which describes opinion formation and social influence, is treated analytically on a complete graph. We prove the existence of the phase transition in the original formulation of the model, while for the Ochrombel…
In this work, we investigate the effect of social media on the process of opinion formation in a human population. This effect is modeled as an external field in the dynamics of the two-dimensional Sznajd model with a probability P for an…
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…
The Sznajd model is a sociophysics model that mimics the propagation of opinions in a closed society, where the interactions favour groups of agreeing people. It is based in the Ising and Potts ferromagnetic models and although the original…
In this work we consider the influence of mass media in the dynamics of the two-dimensional Sznajd model. This influence acts as an external field, and it is introduced in the model by means of a probability $p$ of the agents to follow the…
Possibility of reaching a consensus in social systems with strong initial fragmentation is one of the most interesting issues in sociopysics. It is also intriguing what the dynamics of such processes is. To address those problems, we…
We introduce a consensus model inspired by the Sznajd Model. The updating is synchronous and memory plays here a decisive role in making possible the reaching of total consensus. We study the phase transition between the state with…
We investigate the opinion evolution of outflow dynamics based on the Sznajd model on a complete graph involving contrarian and independence behaviors. We consider a group of four spins representing the social agents with the following…
In this paper, we investigate the so-called ``Sznajd Model'' (SM) in one dimension, which is a simple cellular automata approach to consensus formation among two opposite opinions (described by spin up or down). To elucidate the SM…
Recently, a model of opinion formation with kinetic exchanges has been proposed in which a spontaneous symmetry breaking transition was reported [M. Lallouache et al, Phys. Rev. E, {\bf 82} 056112 (2010)]. We generalise the model to…
In the present paper, we have briefly reviewed Sznajd's sociophysics model and its variants, and also we have proposed a simple Sznajd like sociophysics model based on Ising spin system in order to explain the time evaluation of resistance…
In the modelling of social systems, opinion latency is the idea that once an agent changes its opinion, there will be a period of time where it is immune to other changes. When added to the voter model this leads to a situation where no…
