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…
A one dimensional kinetic Ising model at a finite temperature on a semi-infinite lattice with time varying boundary spins is considered. Exact expressions for the expectation values of the spin at each site are obtained, in terms of the…
The field of opinion dynamics has evolved steadily since the earliest studies applying magnetic physics methods to better understand social opinion formation. However, in the real world, complete agreement of opinions is rare, and biaxial…
We study a cellular automaton opinion formation model of Ising type, with antiferromagnetic pair interactions modeling anticonformism, and ferromagnetic plaquette terms modeling the social norm constraints. For a sufficiently large…
Recent attempts to understand the origin of social fragmentation are based on spin models which include terms accounting for two social phenomena: homophily -- the tendency for people with similar opinions to establish positive relations --…
We analyze the collective spin noise in interacting spin systems. General expressions are derived for the short time behaviour of spin systems with general spin-spin interactions, and we suggest optimum experimental conditions for the…
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…
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…
In this note we study a class of one-dimensional Ising chain having a highly degenerated set of ground-state configurations. The model consists of spin chain having infinite-range pair interactions with a given structure. We show that the…
We present a renormalization approach to solve the Sznajd opinion formation model on complex networks. For the case of two opinions, we present an expression of the probability of reaching consensus for a given opinion as a function of the…
We consider a network of n spin 1/2 systems which are pairwise interacting via Ising interaction and are controlled by the same electro-magnetic control field. Such a system presents symmetries since the Hamiltonian is unchanged if we…
We study the dynamics of entanglement in the one-dimensional spin-1/2 XY model in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. A pair of spins are considered as an open quantum system, while the rest of the chain plays the role of the…
Coordination processes in complex systems can be related to the problem of collective ordering in networks, many of which have modular organization. Investigating the order-disorder transition for Ising spins on modular random networks,…
The extended model of two-leg Ising spin ladder with trimer rungs and next nearest neighbor interaction (NNN) in an external magnetic field is studied using the transfer matrix and linear renormalization group methods. In the standard…
We propose a model for social dynamics on a network. In this model each actor holds a position on some issue, actors and their opinions being associated to vertices of the graph, and, additionally, the actors hold opinions of one another,…
The dynamic evolution at zero temperature of a uniform Ising ferromagnet on a square lattice is followed by Monte Carlo computer simulations. The system always eventually reaches a final, absorbing state, which sometimes coincides with a…
The voter model is a toy model of consensus formation based on nearest-neighbor interactions. A voter sits at each vertex in a hypercubic lattice (of dimension $d$) and is in one of two possible opinion states. The opinion state of each…
The original Deffuant model consists of a finite number of agents whose opinion is a number in $[0,1]$. Two socially connected agents are uniformly randomly selected at each time step and approach each other at a rate $\mu\in [0,1/2]$ if…
We introduce a formula for the disagreement function which is used to control a recently proposed dynamics of the Ising spin system. This leads to four different phases of the Ising spin chain in a zero temperature. One of these phases is…
Squeezed states of spin systems are an important entangled resource for quantum technologies, particularly quantum metrology and sensing. Here we consider the generation of spin squeezed states by interacting the spins with a dissipative…
