Phase Diagram for Social Impact Theory in Initially Fully Differentiated Society

open access: yesPhysics, 2023
The study of opinion formation and dynamics is one of the core topics in sociophysics. In this paper, the results of computer simulation of opinion dynamics based on social impact theory are presented.

Sociophysics simulations I: language competition [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2005
Using a bit-string model similar to biological simulations, the competition between different languages is simulated both without and with spatial structure. We compare our agent-based work with differential equations and the competing bit-string model of Kosmidis et al.

Physicists, non physical topics, and interdisciplinarity

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
Defining interdisciplinary physics today requires first a reformulation of what is physics today, which in turn calls for clarifying what makes a physicist. This assessment results from my 40-year journey arguing and fighting to build sociophysics.

Graph-Based Generalization of Galam Model: Convergence Time and Influential Nodes

open access: yesPhysics, 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

open access: yesPhysics, 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Consensus Emerging from the Bottom-up: the Role of Cognitive Variables in Opinion Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The study of opinions $-$ e.g., their formation and change, and their effects on our society $-$ by means of theoretical and numerical models has been one of the main goals of sociophysics until now, but it is one of the defining topics addressed by ...
