The nature of the continuous nonequilibrium phase transition of Axelrod's model

Lucas R. Peres, José F. Fontanari

Axelrod's model in the square lattice with nearest-neighbors interactions exhibits culturally homogeneous as well as culturally fragmented absorbing configurations. In the case the…

Revisiting the effect of external fields in Axelrod's model of social dynamics

Lucas R. Peres, Jose F. Fontanari

The study of the effects of spatially uniform fields on the steady-state properties of Axelrod's model has yielded plenty of controversial results. Here we re-examine the impact of…

The media effect in Axelrod's model explained

Lucas R. Peres, José F. Fontanari

We revisit the problem of introducing an external global field -- the mass media -- in Axelrod's model of social dynamics, where in addition to their nearest neighbors, the agents…

Statistics of opinion domains of the majority-vote model on a square lattice

Lucas R. Peres, Jose F. Fontanari

The existence of juxtaposed regions of distinct cultures in spite of the fact that people's beliefs have a tendency to become more similar to each other's as the individuals intera…

Mass media destabilizes the cultural homogeneous regime in Axelrod's model

Lucas R. Peres, José F. Fontanari

An important feature of Axelrod's model for culture dissemination or social influence is the emergence of many multicultural absorbing states, despite the fact that the local rules…
