The Trump phenomenon: An explanation from sociophysics [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2017 The Trump phenomenon is argued to depart from current populist rise in Europe. According to a model of opinion dynamics from sociophysics the machinery of Trump’s amazing success obeys well-defined counter-intuitive rules. Therefore, his success was in principle predictable from the start.

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.

Indifferents as an interface between Contra and Pro
, 2009 In most sociophysical simulations on public opinion, only two opinions are allowed: Pro and Contra. However, in all political elections many people do not vote.

The Consensus Problem in Polities of Agents with Dissimilar Cognitive Architectures
Entropy, 2022 Agents interacting with their environments, machine or otherwise, arrive at decisions based on their incomplete access to data and their particular cognitive architecture, including data sampling frequency and memory storage limitations.

How Network Topologies Impact Project Alliance Performance: Evidence from the Movie Industry
Entropy, 2019 In many industries, partners are interconnected in project alliances that have limited lifespans and clearly-defined boundaries. The transparency of the movie industry provides a unique opportunity to study how alliance network topologies impact the ...
