How to Introduce Temperature to the 1 Dimensional Sznajd Model
arXiv:0912.1466 · doi:10.1016/j.physa.2011.01.007
Abstract
We investigate the possibility of introducing the temperature to the one dimensional Sznajd model and propose a natural extension of the original model by including other types of interactions. We characterise different kinds of equilibria into which the extended system can evolve. We determine the consequences of fulfilling the detailed balance condition and we prove that in some cases it is equivalent to microscopic reversibility. We propose a simple definition of the temperature-like quantity that measures the size of fluctuations in the system at equilibrium. The complete list of zero-temperature degenerated cases is provided.
