Description

The Ising model is a mathematical model of ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics. This model consists of spins that can be in one of two states. The spins interact only with their nearest neighbors, and the interactions can be described by a graph. That is, the spins are the dots (called vertices) and interacting dots are connected by a line (called an edge). We studied the graph of spins, and its structural implication on the model. We have also investigated social network models similar to the Ising model, interacting locally and having two states, such as a model of opinion formation.
