We consider triad dynamics as it was recently considered by Antal \emph{et al.} [T. Antal, P. L. Krapivsky, and S. Redner, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 72}, 036121 (2005)] as an approach to social balance. Here we generalize the topology from…

Systems with absorbing (trapped) states may exhibit a nonequilibrium phase transition from a noise-free inactive phase into an ever-lasting active phase. We briefly review the absorbing critical phenomena and universality classes, and…

We study a system of self-propelled disks that perform run-and-tumble motion, where particles can adopt more than one internal state. One of those internal states can be transmitted to another particle if the particle carrying this state…
