Changing Opinions in a Changing World: a New Perspective in Sociophysics
A. Pluchino, V. Latora, A. Rapisarda
We propose a new model of opinion formation, the Opinion Changing Rate (OCR) model. Instead of investigating the conditions that allow consensus in a world of agents with different…
Dynamics and Thermodynamics of a model with long-range interactions
Alessandro Pluchino, Vito Latora, Andrea Rapisarda
The dynamics and the thermodynamics of particles/spins interacting via long-range forces display several unusual features with respect to systems with short-range interactions. The…
A Monte Carlo Investigation of the Hamiltonian Mean Field Model
Alessandro Pluchino, Giuseppe Andronico, Andrea Rapisarda
We present a Monte Carlo numerical investigation of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. We begin by discussing canonical Metropolis Monte Carlo calculations, in order to check…
Dynamical anomalies and the role of initial conditions in the HMF model
Alessandro Pluchino, Vito Latora, Andrea Rapisarda
We discuss the role of the initial conditions for the dynamical anomalies observed in the quasi-stationary states of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model.
