We study a three-state (leftist, rightist, centrist) model that couples the dynamics of social balance with an external deradicalizing field. The mean-field analysis shows that there exists a critical value of the external field $p_c$ such…

We consider nonequilibrium phase transitions in weighted scale-free networks, in which highly connected nodes, which are created earlier in time are partially immunized. For epidemic spreading we solve the dynamical mean-field equations and…
