Stochastic pair approximation treatment of the noisy voter model
New Journal of Physics, 2018 We present a full stochastic description of the pair approximation scheme to study binary-state dynamics on heterogeneous networks. Within this general approach, we obtain a set of equations for the dynamical correlations, fluctuations and finite-size ...

Competition of Dynamic Self-Confidence and Inhomogeneous Individual Influence in Voter Models
Entropy, 2013 In social systems, agents often have different ability to persuade neighbors to adopt their opinions. In this paper, we aim to investigate how the location and heterogeneity of influencers in social networks can improve convergence.

Time scales in the dynamics of political opinions and the voter model
New Journal of PhysicsOpinions in human societies are measured by political polls on time scales of months to years. Such opinion polls do not resolve the effects of individual interactions but constitute a stochastic process. Voter models with zealots (individuals who do not

Revisiting the voter as consumer analogy: an examination of Ghanaian voters decision-making process
Cogent Social SciencesThe political marketing literature likens voters to consumers. It suggests some commonalities between consumers and voters such as their emotions, thought processes, and behavioural responses to marketing stimuli. What is yet to be examined is whether or

A Survey on Nonstrategic Models of Opinion Dynamics
Games, 2020 The paper presents a survey on selected models of opinion dynamics. Both discrete (more precisely, binary) opinion models as well as continuous opinion models are discussed. We focus on frameworks that assume non-Bayesian updating of opinions.

Finite-size scaling of the majority-voter model above the upper critical dimension
Condensed Matter Physics, 2023 The majority-voter model is studied by Monte Carlo simulations on hypercubic lattices of dimension d = 2 to 7 with periodic boundary conditions. The critical exponents associated to the finite-size scaling of the magnetic susceptibility are shown to be ...

Examining voter turnout using multiscale geographically weighted regression: The case of Slovakia
Moravian Geographical Reports, 2023 Voter turnout is an essential aspect of elections and often reflects the attitude of a country’s population towards democracy and politics. Therefore, examining the distribution of voter turnout and determining the factors that influence whether or not ...

Voter models with conserved dynamics
Physical 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.
