Aging in Some Opinion Formation Models: A Comparative Study
PhysicsChanges 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”.

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

Voter models and external influence [PDF]
The 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.

Voting for Voters: A Model of Electoral Evolution [PDF]
Games and Economic Behavior, 1998 In this very interesting paper, the authors initiate an analysis of the evolution of groups, clubs or societies where at a number of fixed intervals, the current members of the group elect new members. In order to give some depth to this initial analysis, the authors impose some simplifying assumptions, among them a quota one rule (that any candidate ...

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 ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background 131I‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I‐MIBG) radiotherapy is a key treatment for relapsed and refractory (R/R) neuroblastoma (NB). Patients with R/R disease treated in the modern era are increasingly exposed to anti‐GD2 immunotherapy, which exerts selective pressure and may modify both tumor cell state and microenvironment.

Electronic Journal of ProbabilityWe study a variant of the voter model on a coevolving network in which interactions of two individuals with differing opinions only lead to an agreement on one of these opinions with a fixed probability $q$. Otherwise, with probability $1-q$, both individuals become offended in the sense that they never interact again, i.e.
