Abstract There is an increasing interest, among theoretical physicists in the study of complex systems. Among the problems that have called the attention of physicists is the possibility of employing statistical mechanics, dynamical systems and numerical modeling techniques in the study of opinion propagation, that seems to present some universal scaling properties.In this project we will study with theoretical and numerical approaches the influence of the initial conditions in the behavior of vectorial models, as the Axelrod model. | |
