In this work, we have studied the Ising model with one- and two-spin flip competing dynamics on a two-dimensional additive small-world network (A-SWN). The system model consists of a $L\times L$ square lattice where each site of the lattice…
We consider a recently introduced generalization of the Ising model in which individual spin strength can vary. The model is intended for analysis of ordering in systems comprising agents which, although matching in their binarity (i.e.,…
The standard phase-ordering process is obtained by quenching a system, like the Ising model, to below the critical point. This is usually done with periodic boundary conditions to insure ergodicity breaking in the low temperature phase.…

In this paper, we start reviewing the main features of the one-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions, where the spin-spin coupling decays as a power law, $J(r) \propto r^{-\alpha}$. We then discuss the key properties of the…
Using Monte Carlo simulations we study the Ising model with spin S=1/2 and 1 on {\it directed} and {\it undirected} Erd\"os-R\'enyi (ER) random graphs, with $z$ neighbors for each spin. In the case with spin S=1/2, the {\it undirected} and…
