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 study the problem of predictability, or "nature vs. nurture", in several disordered Ising spin systems evolving at zero temperature from a random initial state: how much does the final state depend on the information contained in the…

In this paper, we offer a competing dynamic analysis of the one-dimensional Ising model built on the small-world network (SWN). Adding-type SWNs are investigated in detail using a simplified Hamiltonian of mean-field nature, and the result…
The Ising model with ferromagnetic couplings on the Hanoi networks is analyzed with an exact renormalization group. In particular, the fixed-points are determined and the renormalization-group flow for certain initial conditions is…
The Ising model is a model for pairwise interactions between binary variables that has become popular in the psychological sciences. It has been first introduced as a theoretical model for the alignment between positive (+1) and negative…
The $q$-neighbor Ising model is investigated on homogeneous random graphs with a fraction of edges associated randomly with antiferromagnetic exchange integrals and the remaining edges with ferromagnetic ones. It is a nonequilibrium model…
We suggest a generalization of the Feynman path integral to an integral over random surfaces. The proposed action is proportional to the linear size of the random surfaces and is called gonihedric. The convergence and the properties of the…

A one-dimensional flocking model using active Ising spins is studied, where the system evolves through the reinforcement learning approach \textit{via} defining state, action, and cost function for each spin. The orientation of spin with…
We propose a model for the dynamics of a social system, which includes diffusive effects and a biased rule for spin-flips, reproducing the effect of strategic choices. This model is able to mimic some phenomena taking place during marketing…
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…
The Ising model shows on growing Barabasi - Albert networks the same ferromagnetic behavior as on static Barabasi - Albert networks. Sznajd models on growing Barabasi - Albert networks show an hysteresis like behavior. Nearly a full…
We present a new two-state {+-} opinion dynamics model which defines a general frame to include all local dynamics in two-state spin systems. Agents evolve by probabilistic local rules. In each update, groups of various sizes k are formed…
In this paper we define a variant of the Ising model in which spins are replaced with permutations. The energy between two spins is a function of the relative disorder of one spin, a permutation, to the other. This model is motivated by a…
In this paper, we reconsider the spin model suggested recently to understand some features of collective decision making among higher organisms [A.T. Hartnett et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 (2016) 038701]. Within the model, the state of an…
We study a reversible one-dimensional spin system with Bernoulli(p) stationary distribution, in which a site can flip only if the site to its left is in state +1. Such models have been used as simple exemplars of systems exhibiting slow…
