Dynamical origins of the community structure of an online multi-layer society

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2016
Social structures emerge as a result of individuals managing a variety of different social relationships. Societies can be represented as highly structured dynamic multiplex networks.

Voter models with conserved dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2013
We propose a modified voter model with locally conserved magnetization and investigate its phase ordering dynamics in two dimensions in numerical simulations. Imposing a local constraint on the dynamics has the surprising effect of speeding up the phase ordering process.

Should I vote-by-mail or in person? The impact of COVID-19 risk factors and partisanship on vote mode decisions in the 2020 presidential election

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
While the evidence is clear that 2020 voters shifted away from Election Day voting in favor of vote-by-mail and early voting, we know very little about how health risk versus party polarization around risk assessment influenced how and when to vote.

Neighborhood Approximations for Non-Linear Voter Models

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
Non-linear voter models assume that the opinion of an agent depends on the opinions of its neighbors in a non-linear manner. This allows for voting rules different from majority voting. While the linear voter model is known to reach consensus, non-linear

Unveiling the digital persona image: the influence of social media on political candidates’ brand personality and voter behaviour in Kuwait

open access: yesHumanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2023
The research paper examined the interplay between social media, brand personality, and voter behaviour in Kuwait’s unique political environment. The study applied the Aaker model of brand personality to investigate how social media shapes the brand ...

Generalized voter-like models on heterogeneous networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We describe a generalization of the voter model on complex networks that encompasses different sources of degree-related heterogeneity and that is amenable to direct analytical solution by applying the standard methods of heterogeneous mean-field theory.

Voter models and external influence [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Mathematical Sociology, 2019
In this paper, we extend the voter model (VM) and the threshold voter model (TVM) to include external influences modelled as a jump process. We study the newly-formulated models both analytically and computationally, employing diffusion approximations and mean field approximations.

The model of voter education of women-based democracy volunteers

open access: yesJurnal Civics: Media Kajian Kewarganegaraan, 2021
This study aimed at describing the model of voter education of women-based democracy volunteers in Pekanbaru City and Dumai City. Democracy volunteers are partners in the General Election Commission, who deliver electoral information to the public.

Bounds on the Voter Model in Dynamic Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In the voter model, each node of a graph has an opinion, and in every round each node chooses independently a random neighbour and adopts its opinion. We are interested in the consensus time, which is the first point in time where all nodes have the same
