Analysing contrarian behaviour using nonlinear biased -voter model
Amit Pradhan, Pratik Mullick, Parongama Sen
We investigate the role of contrarians in a recently proposed weighted-influence variant of the -voter model. In this framework, non-unanimous influence groups affect the focal…
Sociophysics models inspired by the Ising model
Pratik Mullick, Parongama Sen
The Ising model, originally developed for understanding magnetic phase transitions, has become a cornerstone in the study of collective phenomena across diverse disciplines. In thi…
Modeling biases in binary decision-making within the generalized nonlinear q-voter model
Maciej Doniec, Pratik Mullick, Parongama Sen +1
Collective decision-making is a process by which a group of individuals determines a shared outcome that shapes societal dynamics; from innovation diffusion to organizational choic…
Social Influence and Consensus Building: Introducing a q-Voter Model with Weighted Influence
Pratik Mullick, Parongama Sen
We investigate a dynamical model of opinion formation in which an individual's opinion is influenced by interactions with a group of other agents. We introduce a bias towards one o…
