The Ising model in the presence of a random field is investigated within the mean field approximation based on Landau expansion. The random field is drawn from the asymmetric and anisotropic bimodal probability distribution P(hi)=pδ(hi−h0)+qδ(hi+λ∗h0), where the site probabilities p,q...

This paper introduces a mean field modeling framework for consumption-accumulation optimization. The production dynamics are generalized from stochastic growth theory by addressing the collective impact of a large population of similar agents on efficiency. This gives rise to a stochastic...

The quantum mechanical version of a classical model for studying the orientational degrees of freedom corresponding to a nematic liquid composed of biaxial molecules is presented. The effective degrees of freedom are described by operators carrying an SU(3) representation, which allows the...

An improved cellular automaton model for pedestrian dynamics was established, where both static floor field and collision effect derived from game theory were considered. Several model parameters were carefully determined by previous studies. Results obtained through model-based simulation and...

A class of models of opinion formation based on the concept of cellular automata and the theory of social impact is studied, in particular the case when a strong leader and external impact are present. The rapid changes of the opinion distribution with a continuous change of a system parameter,...

Motivated by spintronic device applications, we engineer a superlattice model based on periodic tri-layers consisting of spins σ=12, S=1 and q=32 residing on the sites of a square lattice, interacting with an external magnetic field. We study its phase diagrams and magnetic properties. We...

We study phase transitions in models of opinion formation which are based on the social impact theory. Two different models are discussed: (i) a cellular-automata-based model of a finite group with a strong leader where persons can change their opinions but not their spatial positions, and (ii)...

The dependence of the critical temperature Tc(ℓ,Δ) on film thickness ℓ and ratio of surface (Js) to bulk (Jb) exchange interaction strengths Δ≡(Js/Jb)−1 in quantum spin 12 Heisenberg model is studied by using the variational principle within the framework of the mean field...

We study a model of opinion formation based on the theory of social impact and the concept of cellular automata. The case is considered when two strong agents influence the group: a strong leader and an external social impact acting uniformly on every individual. There are two basic stationary...
