    "abstract": "We propose a discrete model for how opinion about a given phenomenon, about\nwhich various groups of a population have different degrees of enthusiasm, such\nas fanaticism and extreme social and political positions, including terrorism,\nmay spread. The model, in a certain limit, is the discrete analogue of a\ndeterministic continuum model suggested by others. We carry out extensive\ncomputer simulation of the model by utilizing it on lattices with infinite- or\nshort-range interactions, and on (directed) Barabasi-Albert scale-free\nnetworks. Several interesting features of the model are demonstrated, and\ncomparison is made with the continuum model.",
