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 ...

Homogeneous Symmetrical Threshold Model with Nonconformity: Independence versus Anticonformity

open access: yesComplexity, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
We study two variants of the modified Watts threshold model with a noise (with nonconformity, in the terminology of social psychology) on a complete graph. Within the first version, a noise is introduced via so‐called independence, whereas in the second version anticonformity plays the role of a noise, which destroys the order.
