Sociophysics of intractable conflicts: Three-group dynamics [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2018 We extend a sociophysics model of two-group conflict dynamics to three groups. The model with attractors and chaos is proposed as a tool for exploring and managing intractable conflicts. It can be used to generate scenarios of trajectories and outcomes.

Influence of Irrigation Drivers Using Boosted Regression Trees: Kansas High Plains
Water Resources Research, Volume 57, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Groundwater levels across parts of western Kansas have been declining at unsustainable rates due to pumping for agricultural irrigation despite water‐saving efforts. Accelerating this decline is the complex agricultural landscape, consisting of both categorical (e.g., management boundaries) and numerical (e.g., crop prices) factors that drive ...

Addressing behavior in pollinator conservation policies to combat the implementation gap
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 610-622, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Solutions for conserving biodiversity lie in changing people's behavior. Ambitious international and national conservation policies frequently fail to effectively mitigate biodiversity loss because they rarely apply behavior‐change theories.

Graph-Based Generalization of Galam Model: Convergence Time and Influential Nodes
Physics, 2023 We study a graph-based generalization of the Galam opinion formation model. Consider a simple connected graph which represents a social network. Each node in the graph is colored either blue or white, which indicates a positive or negative opinion on a ...

Polarization and Consensus in a Voter Model under Time-Fluctuating Influences
Physics, 2023 We study the effect of time-fluctuating social influences on the formation of polarization and consensus in a three-party community consisting of two types of voters (“leftists” and “rightists”) holding extreme opinions, and moderate agents acting as ...

International centre for the advancement of multidisciplinary studies on socio-economic systems
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 We start by summarising very briefly the various prior attempts (during the last one and half a decade), some of which were made as independent research centres and others as visiting centres with extensive visiting programs for luminaries from various ...

SOCIOPHYSICS: A REVIEW OF GALAM MODELS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2008 We review a series of models of sociophysics introduced by Galam and Galam et al. in the last 25 years. The models are divided into five different classes, which deal respectively with democratic voting in bottom-up hierarchical systems, decision making, fragmentation versus coalitions, terrorism and opinion dynamics.

Online identity as a collective labeling process
Journal of Physics: Complexity, 2023 Expressing identity socially involves a balance between conformity and innovation. One can adopt existing labels to express belonging to a certain community or introduce new labels to express an individual sense of identity.
