Aging is considered as the property of the elements of a system to be less prone to change states as they get older. We incorporate aging into the noisy voter model, a stochastic model in which the agents modify their binary state by means…

We study variants of one-dimensional q-color voter models in discrete time. In addition to the usual voter model transitions in which a color is chosen from the left or right neighbor of a site there are two types of noisy transitions. One…

We show that the two-dimensional voter model, usually considered to only be a marginal coarsening system, represents a broad class of models for which phase-ordering takes place without surface tension. We argue that voter-like growth is…

We investigate the evolutionary dynamics in directed and/or weighted networks. We study the fixation probability of a mutant in finite populations in stochastic voter-type dynamics for several update rules. The fixation probability is…

We study Markov processes in which $\pm 1$-valued random variables $\sigma_x(t), x\in \mathbb{Z}^d$, update by taking the value of a majority of their nearest neighbors or else tossing a fair coin in case of a tie. In the presence of a…

We study a model for the collective behavior of self-propelled particles subject to pairwise copying interactions and noise. Particles move at a constant speed $v$ on a two--dimensional space and, in a single step of the dynamics, each…

We study the noisy voter model with $q\geq 2$ states and noise probability $\theta$ on arbitrary bounded-degree $n$-vertex graphs $G$ with subexponential growth of balls (e.g., finite subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^d$). Cox, Peres and Steif (2016)…

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…

We provide elementary proofs of several results concerning the possible outcomes arising from a fixed profile within the class of positional voting systems. Our arguments enable a simple and explicit construction of paradoxical profiles,…

We describe methods for proving upper and lower bounds on infinite-time averages in deterministic dynamical systems and on stationary expectations in stochastic systems. The dynamics and the quantities to be bounded are assumed to be…

We study the dynamics of a class of two dimensional stochastic processes, depending on two parameters, which may be interpreted as two different temperatures, respectively associated to interfacial and to bulk noise. Special lines in the…

We explore the effect of interplay of interfacial noise and curvature driven dynamics in a binary spin system. An appropriate model is the generalised two dimensional voter model proposed earlier (J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. {\bf 26}, 2317…

We consider the phase ordering problem for the low-temperature Ising dynamics initialized from a biased and disordered initialization. Work of Fontes, Schonmann, Sidoravicius (2002) showed that at zero-temperature, Ising Glauber dynamics on…

The spatial structure of an evolving population affects which mutations become fixed. Some structures amplify selection, increasing the likelihood that beneficial mutations become fixed while deleterious mutations do not. Other structures…

The voter model is a classical interacting particle system, modelling how global consensus is formed by local imitation. We analyse the time to consensus for a particular family of voter models when the underlying structure is a scale-free…
