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…
The traditional Sznajd model, as well as its Ochrombel simplification for opinion spreading, are applied to marketing with the help of advertising. The larger the lattice is the smaller is the amount of advertising needed to convince the…
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…
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…
The Nowak modification of the Sznajd opinion dynamics model on the square lattice assumes that with probabilities beta and gamma the opinions flip due to mass-media advertising from down to up, and vice versa. Besides, with probability…
The Sznajd model, where two people having the same opinion can convince their neighbours on the square lattice, is modified in the sense of Deffuant et al and Hegselmann, that only neighbours of similar opinions can be convinced. Then…
In this work we study a modified version of the Sznajd sociophysics model. In particular we introduce reputation, a mechanism that limits the capacity of persuasion of the agents. The reputation is introduced as a score which is…
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…
Among the several approaches that have been attempted at studying opinion dynamics, the Sznajd model provides some particularly interesting features, such as its simplicity and ability to represent some of the mechanisms believed to be…
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…
In this work we study the dynamics of opinion formation in the Sznajd model with anticonformity on regular lattices in two and three dimensions. The anticonformity behavior is similar to the introduction of Galam's contrarians in the…
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…
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 analyze the Sznajd opinion formation model, where a pair of neighboring individuals sharing the same opinion on a square lattice convince its six neighbors to adopt their opinions, when a fraction of the individuals is updated according…
We analyze the evolution of Sznajd Model with synchronous updating in several complex networks. Similar to the model on square lattice, we have found a transition between the state with no-consensus and the state with complete consensus in…
The Sznajd cellular automata corresponds to one of the simplest and yet most interesting models of complex systems. While the traditional two-dimensional Sznajd model tends to a consensus state (pro or cons), the assignment of the contrary…
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 the Sznajd consensus model on the square lattice, two people who agree in their opinions convince their neighbours of this opinion. We generalize it to many layers representing many age levels, and check if still a consensus among all…
