Abstract

The order-disorder phase transition in the Axelrod model [1,2] is investigated in the presence of repulsion [3]. Here, the approach of [3] is modified as follows: a) the threshold is removed, and the attractive/repulsive corrections are made with probabilities of finding the same/different symbols in the related codes; b) the initial state of the system is taken as an additional independent variable. We find a new phase diagram with ordered, disordered and non-stationary phases.
