Opinion dynamics have attracted the interest of researchers from different fields. Local
interactions among individuals create interesting dynamics for the system as a whole. Such …

Opinions are an integral part of how we perceive the world and each other. They shape
collective action, playing a role in democratic processes, the evolution of norms, and cultural …

Individuals of modern societies share ideas and participate in collective processes within a
pervasive, variable, and mostly hidden ecosystem of content filtering technologies that …

We present a short review based on the nonlinear q-voter model about problems and
methods raised within statistical physics of opinion formation (SPOOF). We describe …

Opinions in human societies are measured by political polls on time scales of months to
years. Such opinion polls do not resolve the effects of individual interactions but constitute a …

We present a full stochastic description of the pair approximation scheme to study binary-
state dynamics on heterogeneous networks. Within this general approach, we obtain a set of …

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 a variant of the voter model with multiple opinions; individuals can imitate each
other and also change their opinion randomly in mutation events. We focus on the case of a …

Abstract The so-called Granovetter–Watts model was introduced to capture a situation in
which the adoption of new ideas or technologies requires a certain redundancy in the social …

In this work, we address the question of the role of the influence of group size on the
emergence of various collective social phenomena, such as consensus, polarization and …
