The success of new scientific areas can be assessed by their potential in contributing to new
theoretical approaches and in applications to real-world problems. Complex networks have …

The book requires only rudimentary physics knowledge but ability to program computers
creatively and to keep the mind open to simple and not so simple models, based in …

The evolution dynamics of public opinion is a hot issue in complex networks research. And
the Ising model is the earliest classic dynamic model of public opinion. Although signed …

Here, a non-equilibrium model with two states (− 1,+ 1) and a noise q on simple square
lattices proposed for MJ Oliveira (1992) following the conjecture of up-down symmetry of …

On directed lattices, with half as many neighbours as in the usual undirected lattices, the
Ising model does not seem to show a spontaneous magnetisation, at least for lower …

On directed Barabási–Albert networks with two and seven neighbours selected by each
added site, the Ising model was seen not to show a spontaneous magnetisation. Instead, the …

We investigate analytically the behavior of the Ising model on two connected Barabasi-
Albert networks. Depending on relative ordering of both networks there are two possible …

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of the Ising model on two sparsely connected
complex networks. The networks have the topology of a random graph or Barabási and …

Within the context of agent-based Monte-Carlo simulations, we study the well-known
majority-vote model (MVM) with noise applied to tax evasion on simple square lattices …

On directed small-world networks the majority-vote model with noise is now studied through
Monte Carlo simulations. In this model, the order-disorder phase transition of the order …
