Nonequilibrium phase transitions can be typified in a similar way to equilibrium systems, for
instance, by the use of the order parameter. However, this characterization hides the …

We introduce a generalized version of the noisy q-voter model, one of the most popular
opinion dynamics models, in which voters can be in one of s≥ 2 states. As in the original …

We study how the presence of individuals with strong opinions affects a square lattice
majority-vote model with noise. In a square lattice network we perform Monte-Carlo …

We show that models of opinion formation and dissemination in a community of individuals
can be framed within stochastic thermodynamics from which we can build a nonequilibrium …

Spontaneous synchronisation is a remarkable collective effect observed in nature, whereby
a population of oscillating units, which have diverse natural frequencies and are in weak …

The majority vote model is one of the simplest opinion systems yielding distinct phase
transitions and has garnered significant interest in recent years. This model, as well as many …

We study the binary q-voter model with generalized anticonformity on random Erdős–Rényi
graphs. In such a model, two types of social responses, conformity and anticonformity, occur …

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 …

Majority-vote model on scale-free networks and random graphs is investigated in which a
randomly chosen fraction p of agents (called anticonformists) follows an antiferromagnetic …

Discontinuous transitions have received considerable interest due to the uncovering that
many phenomena such as catastrophic changes, epidemic outbreaks and synchronization …
