The centennial of the Ising model marks a century of interdisciplinary contributions that
extend well beyond ferromagnets, including the evolution of language, volatility in financial …

The study of the dynamics of opinion formation and transmission in social networks has
attracted lots of attention. Here, we propose a model that simulates communication in an …

The opinion individuals hold about circulating information moderates their spreading
behavior, as they may choose to spread rumors they believe in and remain silent about …

In this paper, we propose a Boltzmann-type kinetic description of opinion formation on social
networks, which takes into account a general connectivity distribution of the individuals. We …

The Russian military aggression against Ukraine in February 2022 unveiled the illusory

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 …

The higher-order interactions in complex systems are gaining attention. Extending the
classic bounded confidence model where an agent's opinion update is the average opinion …

We explore the impact of social noise, characterized by nonconformist behavior, on the
phase transition within the framework of the majority rule model. The order–disorder …
