ASYMMETRY IN THE HIERARCHY MODEL OF BONABEAU ET AL.

STAUFFER, D.; MARTINS, J. S. SÁ - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 06 (2003) 04, pp. 559-564

The 1995 model of Bonabeau et al. explains the emergence of social hierarchies through randomness, but gives as many leaders as followers. A simple modification allows a more realistic asymmetry with far fewer leaders.

BETTER BEING THIRD THAN SECOND IN A SEARCH FOR A MAJORITY OPINION

STAUFFER, DIETRICH - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 05 (2002) 01, pp. 97-100

Monte Carlo simulations of a Sznajd model show that if a near-consensus is formed out of four initially equally widespread opinions, the one which at intermediate times is second in the number of adherents usually loses out against the third-placed opinion.

The democracy–ochlocracy–dictatorship transition in the Sznajd model and in the Ising model

Schneider, Johannes J.; Hirtreiter, Christian - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 353 (2005) C, pp. 539-554

Since its introduction in 2000, the Sznajd model has been assumed to simulate a democratic community with two parties. The main flaw in this model is that a Sznajd system freezes in the long term in a non-democratic state, which can be either a dictatorship or a stalemate configuration. Here we...

Introduction to statistical physics outside physics

Stauffer, Dietrich - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 336 (2004) 1, pp. 1-5

We review the possibilities and difficulties for statistical physicists if they apply their methods to biology, economics, or sociology. WARNING: I report opinions, not simulations.

Collective beliefs versus individual inflexibility: The unavoidable biases of a public debate

Galam, Serge - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 390 (2011) 17, pp. 3036-3054

The combined effects of collective beliefs and individual inflexibility in the dynamics of a public debate are investigated using the Galam sequential probabilistic model of opinion dynamics. The study is focused on pair interactions for which the bias produced by collective beliefs is the...
