Compartmental voter model [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2019
Numerous models in opinion dynamics focus on the temporal dynamics within a single electoral unit (e.g., country). The empirical observations, on the other hand, are often made across multiple electoral units (e.g., polling stations) at a single point in time (e.g., elections).

Threshold $q$-voter model

, 2018
We introduce the threshold $q$-voter opinion dynamics where an agent, facing a binary choice, can change its mind when at least $q_0$ amongst $q$ neighbors share the opposite opinion.

Voter model on Sierpinski fractals

, 2005
We investigate the ordering of voter model on fractal lattices: Sierpinski Carpets and Sierpinski Gasket. We obtain a power law ordering, similar to the behavior of one-dimensional system, regardless of fractal ramification.Comment: 7 pages, 5 EPS ...

Exploring the adaptive voter model dynamics with a mathematical triple jump

New Journal of Physics, 2014
Progress in theoretical physics is often made by the investigation of toy models, the model organisms of physics, which provide benchmarks for new methodologies. For complex systems, one such model is the adaptive voter model. Despite its simplicity, the

Aging in Some Opinion Formation Models: A Comparative Study

Physics
Changes of mind can become less likely the longer an agent has adopted a given opinion state. This resilience or inertia to change has been called “aging”.

Stretched Exponential Relaxation in the Biased Random Voter Model

, 1999
We study the relaxation properties of the voter model with i.i.d. random bias. We prove under mild condions that the disorder-averaged relaxation of this biased random voter model is faster than a stretched exponential with exponent $d/(d+\alpha)$, where

Cutoff for the noisy voter model [PDF]

, 2016
Given a continuous time Markov Chain $\{q(x,y)\}$ on a finite set $S$, the associated noisy voter model is the continuous time Markov chain on $\{0,1\}^S$, which evolves in the following way: (1) for each two sites $x$ and $y$ in $S$, the state at site ...

A multi-voter multi-commission nearest neighbor classifier

Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2022
Many improved versions of k-nearest neighbor (KNN) have been proposed by minimizing total distances of multi k nearest neighbors (multi-voter) in each class instead of the majority voting, such as a local mean-based pseudo nearest neighbor (LMPNN) that ...

One-dimensional Voter Model Interface Revisited [PDF]

, 2011
We consider the voter model on Z, starting with all 1's to the left of the origin and all 0's to the right of the origin. It is known that if the associated random walk kernel p has zero mean and a finite r-th moment for any r>3, then the evolution of ...

Manipulations in Democracy?

Behavioral Sciences
Democracy is upheld through the principle of majority rule. To validate the application of democracy, it is imperative to assess the sincerity of voter decisions.
