The noisy voter-exclusion process

Probability 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The symmetric exclusion process and the voter model are two interacting particle systems for which a dual finite particle system allows one to characterize its invariant measures. Adding spontaneous births and deaths to the two processes still allows one to use the dual to obtain information about the original process. We study the noisy voter-exclusion process which generalizes these processes by allowing for all of these interactions to take place. The dual process is used to characterize its invariant measures under various circumstances. Finally, an ergodic theorem for a related process is proved using couplings.
