We study a nonequilibrium model with up-down symmetry and a noise parameter $q$ known as majority-vote model of M.J. Oliveira 1992 with heterogeneous agents on square lattice. By Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling relations the critical exponents $beta/ u$, $gamma/ u$, and $1/ u$ and points $q_{c}$ and $U^*$ are obtained. After extensive simulations, we obtain $beta/ u=0.35(1)$, $gamma/ u=1.23(8)$, and $1/ u=1.05(5)$. The calculated values of the critical noise parameter and Binder cumulant are $q_{c}=0.1589(4)$ and $U^*=0.604(7)$. Within the error bars, the exponents obey the relation $2beta/ u+gamma/ u=2$ and the results presented here demonstrate that the majority-vote model heterogeneous agents belongs to a different universality class than the nonequilibrium majority-vote models with homogeneous agents on square lattice.
We study a nonequilibrium model with up-down symmetry and a noise parameter $q$ known as majority-vote model of M.J. Oliveira $1992$ on opinion-dependent network or Stauffer-Hohnisch-Pittnauer networks. By Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling relations the critical exponents $beta/ u$, $gamma/ u$, and $1/ u$ and points $q_{c}$ and $U^*$ are obtained. After extensive simulations, we obtain $beta/ u=0.230(3)$, $gamma/ u=0.535(2)$, and $1/ u=0.475(8)$. The calculated values of the critical noise parameter and Binder cumulant are $q_{c}=0.166(3)$ and $U^*=0.288(3)$. Within the error bars, the exponents obey the relation $2beta/ u+gamma/ u=1$ and the results presented here demonstrate that the majority-vote model belongs to a different universality class than the equilibrium Ising model on Stauffer-Hohnisch-Pittnauer networks, but to the same class as majority-vote models on some other networks.
On ($3,12^2$), ($4,6,12$) and ($4,8^2$) Archimedean lattices, the critical properties of majority-vote model are considered and studied using the Glauber transition rate proposed by Kwak {it et all.} [Phys. Rev. E, {bf 75}, 061110 (2007)] rather than the traditional majority-vote with noise [Jose Mario de Oliveira, J. Stat. Phys. {bf 66}, 273 (1992)]. The critical temperature and the critical exponents for this transition rate are obtained from extensive Monte Carlo simulations and with a finite size scaling analysis. The calculated values of the critical temperatures Binder cumulant are $T_c=0.363(2)$ and $U_4^*=0.577(4)$; $T_c=0.651(3)$ and $U_4^*=0.612(5)$; and $T_c=0.667(2)$ and $U_4^*=0.613(5)$ for ($3,12^2$), ($4,6,12$) and ($4,8^2$) lattices, respectively. The critical exponents $beta/ u$, $gamma/ u$ and $1/ u$ for this model are $0.237(6)$, $0.73(10)$, and $ 0.83(5)$; $0.105(8)$, $1.28(11)$, and $1.16(5)$; $0.113(2)$, $1.60(4)$, and $0.84(6)$ for ($3,12^2$), ($4,6,12$) and ($4,8^2$) lattices, respectively. These results differ from the usual Ising model results and the majority-vote model on so-far studied regular lattices or complex networks.
We investigate the Majority-Vote Model with two states ($-1,+1$) and a noise $q$ on Apollonian networks. The main result found here is the presence of the phase transition as a function of the noise parameter $q$. We also studies de effect of redirecting a fraction $p$ of the links of the network. By means of Monte Carlo simulations, we obtained the exponent ratio $gamma/ u$, $beta/ u$, and $1/ u$ for several values of rewiring probability $p$. The critical noise was determined $q_{c}$ and $U^{*}$ also was calculated. The effective dimensionality of the system was observed to be independent on $p$, and the value $D_{eff} approx1.0$ is observed for these networks. Previous results on the Ising model in Apollonian Networks have reported no presence of a phase transition. Therefore, the results present here demonstrate that the Majority-Vote Model belongs to a different universality class as the equilibrium Ising Model on Apollonian Network.
The Zaklan model had been proposed and studied recently using the equilibrium Ising model on Square Lattices (SL) by Zaklan et al (2008), near the critica temperature of the Ising model presenting a well-defined phase transition; but on normal and modified Apollonian networks (ANs), Andrade et al. (2005, 2009) studied the equilibrium Ising model. They showed the equilibrium Ising model not to present on ANs a phase transition of the type for the 2D Ising model. Here, using agent-based Monte-Carlo simulations, we study the Zaklan model with the well-known majority-vote model (MVM) with noise and apply it to tax evasion on ANs, to show that differently from the Ising model the MVM on ANs presents a well defined phase transition. To control the tax evasion in the economics model proposed by Zaklan et al, MVM is applied in the neighborhood of the critical noise $q_{c}$ to the Zaklan model. Here we show that the Zaklan model is robust because this can be studied besides using equilibrium dynamics of Ising model also through the nonequilibrium MVM and on various topologies giving the same behavior regardless of dynamic or topology used here.
Within the context of agent-based Monte-Carlo simulations, we study the well-known majority-vote model (MVM) with noise applied to tax evasion on Stauffer-Hohnisch-Pittnauer (SHP) networks. To control the fluctuations for tax evasion in the economics model proposed by Zaklan, MVM is applied in the neighborhood of the critical noise $q_{c}$ to evolve the Zaklan model. The Zaklan model had been studied recently using the equilibrium Ising model. Here we show that the Zaklan model is robust because this can be studied besides using equilibrium dynamics of Ising model also through the nonequilibrium MVM and on various topologies giving the same behavior regardless of dynamic or topology used here.
Here, the model of non-equilibrium model with two states ($-1,+1$) and a noise $q$ on simple square lattices proposed for M.J. Oliveira (1992) following the conjecture of up-down symmetry of Grinstein and colleagues (1985) is studied and generalized. This model is well-known, today, as Majority-Vote Model. They showed, through Monte Carlo simulations, that their obtained results fall into the universality class of the equilibrium Ising model on a square lattice. In this work, we generalize the Majority-Vote Model for a version with three states, now including the zero state, ($-1,0,+1$) in two dimensions. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we showed that our model falls into the universality class of the spin-1 ($-1,0,+1$) and spin-1/2 Ising model and also agree with Majority-Vote Model proposed for M.J. Oliveira (1992) . The exponents ratio obtained for our model was $gamma/ u =1.77(3)$, $beta/ u=0.121(5)$, and $1/ u =1.03(5)$. The critical noise obtained and the fourth-order cumulant were $q_{c}=0.106(5)$ and $U^{*}=0.62(3)$.
On Archimedean lattices, the Ising model exhibits spontaneous ordering. Three examples of these lattices of the majority-vote model with noise are considered and studied through extensive Monte Carlo simulations. The order/disorder phase transition is observed in this system. The calculated values of the critical noise parameter are q_c=0.089(5), q_c=0.078(3), and q_c=0.114(2) for honeycomb, Kagome and triangular lattices, respectively. The critical exponents beta/nu, gamma/nu and 1/nu for this model are 0.15(5), 1.64(5), and 0.87(5); 0.14(3), 1.64(3), and 0.86(6); 0.12(4), 1.59(5), and 1.08(6) for honeycomb, Kagome and triangular lattices, respectively. These results differs from the usual Ising model results and the majority-vote model on so-far studied regular lattices or complex networks. The effective dimensionalities of the system D_{eff}= 1.96(5) (honeycomb), D_{eff} =1.92(4) (Kagome), and D_{eff}= 1.83(5) (triangular) for these networks are just compatible to the embedding dimension two.
