The one-dimensional Ising model is easily generalized to a \textit{genuinely nonequilibrium} system by coupling alternating spins to two thermal baths at different temperatures. Here, we investigate the full time dependence of this system.…
In this paper we present an interacting-agent model of stock markets. We describe a stock market through an Ising-like model in order to formulate the tendency of traders getting to be influenced by the other traders' investment attitudes…
The two dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model in the presence of a propagating magnetic field wave (with well defined frequency and wavelength) is studied by Mone Carlo simulation. This study differs from all of the earlier studies done so…
Usually, in a non-equilibrium setting, a current brings mass from the highest density regions to the lowest density ones. Although rare, the opposite phenomenon (known as "uphill diffusion") has also been observed in multicomponent systems,…
A modified version of a finite random field Ising ferromagnetic model in an external magnetic field at zero temperature is presented to describe group decision making. Fields may have a non-zero average. A postulate of minimum…
An antiferromagnetic version of the well-known majority voter model on square and honeycomb lattices is proposed. Monte Carlo simulations give evidence for a continuous order-disorder phase transition in the stationary state in both cases.…
The nonequilibrium Ising model on a restricted scale-free network has been studied with one- and two-spin flip competing dynamics employing Monte Carlo simulations. The dynamics present in the system can be defined by the probability $q$ in…

We investigate the statistics of the mean magnetisation, of its large deviations and persistent large deviations in simple coarsening systems. We consider more specifically the case of the diffusion equation, of the Ising chain at zero…
The voter model is a classical interacting particle system modelling how consensus is formed across a network. We analyse the time to consensus for the voter model when the underlying graph is a subcritical scale-free random graph.…
We study the Ising model on a two-community stochastic block model, where $n$ spins are split into two equal groups with inter-community interaction parameter $\alpha_n\in[0,1]$. We provide a complete characterization of the phase diagram…
The universality class, even the order of the transition, of the two-dimensional Ising model depends on the range and the symmetry of the interactions (Onsager model, Baxter-Wu model, Turban model, etc.), but the critical temperature is…
We study the non-equilibrium response function $R_{ij}(t,t')$, namely the variation of the local magnetization $\langle S_i(t)\rangle$ on site $i$ at time $t$ as an effect of a perturbation applied at the earlier time $t'$ on site $j$, in a…
We study a low temperature anisotropic anti-ferromagnetic 2D Ising model through the guise of a certain dimer model. This model has a bijection with a one-dimensional particle system equipped with creation and annihilation. In the…
The non-equilibrium dynamics of the model 3d-Ising spin glass - Fe$_{0.55}$Mn$_{0.45}$TiO$_3$ - has been investigated from the temperature and time dependence of the zero field cooled magnetization recorded under certain thermal protocols.…
The conventional voter model is modified so that an agent's switching rate depends on the `age' of the agent, that is, the time since the agent last switched opinion. In contrast to previous work, age is continuous in the present model. We…
We study the approach towards equilibrium in a dynamic Ising model, the Q2R cellular automaton, with microscopic reversibility and conserved energy for an infinite one-dimensional system. Starting from a low-entropy state with positive…
Influence maximization in social networks has typically been studied in the context of contagion models and irreversible processes. In this paper, we consider an alternate model that treats individual opinions as spins in an Ising system at…
We introduce the incremental voter model (IVM), a discrete-opinion multi-agent system where agents undergo step-wise transitions biased by the opinion of a randomly selected persuader. Our incremental voter model comprises a large…
We study the ordering dynamics of nonlinear voter models with multiple states, also providing a discussion of the two-state model. The rate with which an individual adopts an opinion scales as the $q$-th power of the number of the…
