Bonabeau hierarchy models revisited
, 2005 What basic processes generate hierarchy in a collective? The Bonabeau model provides us a simple mechanism based on randomness which develops self-organization through both winner/looser effects and relaxation process.

Order-disorder phase transition in a cliquey social network
, 2007 We investigate the network model of community by Watts, Dodds and Newman (D. J. Watts et al., Science 296 (2002) 1302) as a hierarchy of groups, each of 5 individuals.

Sociophysics - an astriding science
, 2008 The status of the sociophysics is discussed as placed between the physics and the sociology. In particular we ask if the second law of thermodynamics can be useful in social sciences.

On Spatial Consensus Formation: Is the Sznajd Model Different from a Voter Model?
, 2003 In this paper, we investigate the so-called ``Sznajd Model'' (SM) in one dimension, which is a simple cellular automata approach to consensus formation among two opposite opinions (described by spin up or down).

PhysicsSocial structure may have changed from hierarchical to egalitarian and back along the evolutionary line of humans. Within the tradition of sociophysics, we construct a mathematical model of a society of agents subject to competing cognitive and social ...

On the oscillation of nonlinear delay differential equations and their applications
Open Physics, 2021 The oscillation of nonlinear differential equations is used in many applications of mathematical physics, biological and medical physics, engineering, aviation, complex networks, sociophysics and econophysics. The goal of this study is to create some new

The Role of Noise in the Spatial Public Goods Game
, 2016 In this work we aim to analyze the role of noise in the spatial Public Goods Game, one of the most famous games in Evolutionary Game Theory. The dynamics of this game is affected by a number of parameters and processes, namely the topology of ...

Tax evasion dynamics and Zaklan model on Opinion-dependent Network
, 2012 Within the context of agent-based Monte-Carlo simulations, we study the well-known majority-vote model (MVM) with noise applied to tax evasion on Stauffer-Hohnisch-Pittnauer (SHP) networks.

Conspiratorial Beliefs Observed through Entropy Principles
Entropy, 2015 We propose a novel approach framed in terms of information theory and entropy to tackle the issue of the propagation of conspiracy theories. We represent the initial report of an event (such as the 9/11 terroristic attack) as a series of strings of ...
