We discuss the short-time behavior of the majority vote dynamics on scale-free networks at the critical threshold. We introduce a heterogeneous mean-field theory on the critical short-time behavior of the majority-vote model on scale-free…
Majority-vote model is a much-studied model for social opinion dynamics of two competing opinions. With the recent appreciation that our social network comprises a variety of different layers forming a multiplex network, a natural question…
We use Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling theory to investigate the phase transition and critical behavior of the $S$-state block voter model on square lattices. It is shown that the system exhibits an order-disorder phase…
In the present chapter, we focus on the switching of magnetisation, or the metastable lifetime of a ferromagnetic system. In this regard, particularly the Ising model and the Blume-Capel model, have been simulated in the presence of an…
For the voter model, we study the effect of a memory-dependent transition rate. We assume that the transition of a spin into the opposite state decreases with the time it has been in its current state. Counter-intuitively, we find that the…
We consider the ferromagnetic large-$q$ state Potts model in complex evolving networks, which is equivalent to an optimal cooperation problem, in which the agents try to optimize the total sum of pair cooperation benefits and the supports…
We investigate the network model of community by Watts, Dodds and Newman (D. J. Watts et al., Science 296 (2002) 1302) as a hierarchy of groups, each of 5 individuals. A homophily parameter $\alpha$ controls the probability proportional to…
We study a generalization of the voter model on complex networks, focusing on the scaling of mean exit time. Previous work has defined the voter model in terms of an initially chosen node and a randomly chosen neighbor, which makes it…
The Ising model on a $restricted$ scale-free network (SFN) has been studied employing Monte Carlo simulations. This network is described by a power-law degree distribution in the form $P(k)~k^{-\alpha}$, and is called restricted, because…
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…
Using a mean-field network formulation of the Bass innovation diffusion model and exact results by Fotouhi and Rabbat on the degree correlations of Barabasi-Albert networks, we compute the times of the diffusion peak and compare them with…
We study the coordination game with an aspiration-driven update rule in regular graphs and scale-free networks. We prove that the model coincides exactly with the Ising model and shows a phase transition at the critical selection noise when…
Herein, we consider a voting model for information cascades on several types of networks -- a random graph, the Barab\'{a}si-Albert(BA) model, and lattice networks -- by using one parameter $\omega$; $\omega=1,0, -1$ respectively correspond…
We study the Ising model with an external magnetic field on random tetravalent planar maps and investigate its critical behavior. Explicit expressions for spontaneous magnetization and the susceptibility are computed and the critical…
We investigate the critical properties of the Ising model in two dimensions on {\it directed} small-world lattice with quenched connectivity disorder. The disordered system is simulated by applying the Monte Carlo update heat bath…
The order-disorder phase transition is a fascinating phenomenon in opinion dynamics models within sociophysics. This transition emerges due to noise parameters, interpreted as social behaviors such as anticonformity and independence…
The short-time dynamic evolution of an Ising model embedded in an infinitely ramified fractal structure with noninteger Hausdorff dimension was studied using Monte Carlo simulations. Completely ordered and disordered spin configurations…
The consensus model of Deffuant et al is simplified by allowing for many discrete instead of infinitely many continuous opinions, on a directed Barabasi-Albert network. A simple scaling law is observed. We then introduce noise and also use…
We investigate, by means of extensive Monte Carlo simulations, the magnetic critical behavior of the three-dimensional bimodal random-field Ising model at the strong disorder regime. We present results in favor of the two-exponent scaling…
We develop and test a rewiring method (originally proposed by Newman) which allows to build random networks having pre-assigned degree distribution and two-point correlations. For the case of scale-free degree distributions, we discretize…
