Contrarian Majority Rule Model with External Oscillating Propaganda and Individual Inertias [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 We study the Galam majority rule dynamics with contrarian behavior and an oscillating external propaganda in a population of agents that can adopt one of two possible opinions. In an iteration step, a random agent interacts with three other random agents

On a continuous majority rule [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2005 A seminal paper by May characterizes the majority rule in terms of anonymity, neutrality, and positive responsiveness. Since then, there have been many characterizations of the majority rule using different axioms by several authors. In this paper, we will introduce the concept of a continuous majority rule which generalizes the previous social welfare

Split-based computation of majority-rule supertrees [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Supertree methods combine overlapping input trees into a larger supertree. Here, I consider split-based supertree methods that first extract the split information of the input trees and subsequently combine this split information into a ...

Democratic Thwarting of Majority Rule in Opinion Dynamics: 1. Unavowed Prejudices Versus Contrarians [PDF]
EntropyI study the conditions under which the democratic dynamics of a public debate drives a minority-to-majority transition. A landscape of the opinion dynamics is thus built using the Galam Majority Model (GMM) in a 3-dimensional parameter space for three ...

The sovereign minority: the qualified majority rule for constitutional amendments
Revista de Investigações Constitucionais, 2023 The paper challenges the widespread intuition according to which the constitutional amendment procedure normatively requires the application of the qualified majority rule as a collective decision rule. To this end, the relationship between majority rule
