We introduce a generalized version of the noisy q-voter model, one of the most popular
opinion dynamics models, in which voters can be in one of s≥ 2 states. As in the original …

In this work, we address the question of the role of the influence of group size on the
emergence of various collective social phenomena, such as consensus, polarization and …

Despite ample research devoted to the non-linear q-voter model and its extensions, little or
no attention has been paid to the relationship between the composition of the influence …

Echo chambers and polarization dynamics are, as of late, a very prominent topic in scientific
communities around the world. As these phenomena directly affect our lives, seemingly …

We study the binary q-voter model with generalized anticonformity on random Erdős–Rényi
graphs. In such a model, two types of social responses, conformity and anticonformity, occur …

Abstract Information exchange and dissemination happen among individuals in a group or
social network, which is an inevitable process before the formation of the group and …

Modelling the epidemic's spread on multiplex networks, considering complex human
behaviours, has recently gained the attention of many scientists. In this work, we study the …

Consider a multiplex network formed by two layers indicating social interactions: the first
layer is a friendship network and the second layer is a network of business relations. In this …

A hidden state in which a spin does not interact with any other spin contributes to the entropy
of an interacting spin system. We explore the q-state Potts model with extra r hidden states …

Discontinuous phase transitions are particularly interesting from a social point of view
because of their relationship to social hysteresis and critical mass. In this paper, we show …
