Coarsening in the long-range Persistent Voter Model

Jeferson J. Arenzon, F. Corberi, W. G. Dantas +1

We investigate the coarsening kinetics in a long-range variant of the Persistent Voter Model in space dimensions and 2. In this model, agents can hold two confidence levels,…

Semi-flexible trimers on the square lattice in the full lattice limit

Pablo Serra, Wellington G. Dantas, Jürgen F. Stilck

Trimers are chains formed by two lattice edges, and therefore three monomers. We consider trimers placed on the square lattice, the edges belonging to the same trimer are either co…

Entropy of rigid k-mers on a square lattice

Lucas R. Rodrigues, J. F. Stilck, W. G. Dantas

Using the transfer matrix technique, we estimate the entropy for a gas of rods of sizes equal to k (named k-mers), which cover completely a square lattice. Our calculations were ma…

Curvature-driven growth and interfacial noise in the voter model with self-induced zealots

Luís Carlos F. Latoski, W. G. Dantas, Jeferson J. Arenzon

We introduce a variant of the voter model in which agents may have different degrees of confidence on their opinions. Those with low confidence are normal voters whose state can ch…

Skepticism and rumor spreading: the role of spatial correlations

Marco Antonio Amaral, W. G. Dantas, Jeferson J. Arenzon

Critical thinking and skepticism are fundamental mechanisms that one may use to prevent the spreading of rumors, fake-news and misinformation. We consider a simple model in which a…

Using Nanoresonators with Robust Chaos as HRNGs

Lucas R. Rodrigues, W. G. Dantas, Sebastian Ujevic +1

In this paper, we investigate theoretically the potential of a nanoelectromechanical suspended beam resonator excited by two-external frequencies as a hardware random number genera…
