"Antiferromagnetism" in social relations and Bonabeau model
Gerard Weisbuch, Dietrich Stauffer
We here present a fixed agents version of an original model of the emergence of hierarchies among social agents first introduced by Bonabeau \textit{et al}. Having interactions occ…
Phase transition in Nowak-Sznajd opinion dynamics
Maciej Woloszyn, Dietrich Stauffer, Krzysztof Kulakowski
The Nowak modification of the Sznajd opinion dynamics model on the square lattice assumes that with probabilities beta and gamma the opinions flip due to mass-media advertising fro…
Optimization of hierarchical structures of information flow
D. Stauffer, P. M. C. de Oliveira
The efficiency of a large hierarchical organisation is simulated on Barabasi-Albert networks, when each needed link leads to a loss of information. The optimum is found at a finite…
On the relation between structural diversity and geographical distance among languages: observations and computer simulations
Eric W. Holman, Christian Schulze, Dietrich Stauffer +1
The recent availability of larger typological databases such as Haspelmath et al. (2005) has brought the linguistics community closer to having a solid, empirical foundation for ma…
The Impact of External Events on the Emergence of Social Herding of Economic Sentiment
Martin Hohnisch, Dietrich Stauffer, Sabine Pittnauer
We investigate the impact of an exogenous environment on the emergence of social herding of economic sentiment. An interactions-driven dynamics of economic sentiment is modeled by…
