The voter model is a paradigm of ordering dynamics. At each time step, a random node is selected and copies the state of one of its neighbors. Traditionally, this state has been considered as a binary variable. Here, we relax this…
The majority vote model is one of the simplest opinion systems yielding distinct phase transitions and has garnered significant interest in recent years. However, its original formulation is not, in general, thermodynamically consistent,…
We consider the dynamics of the voter model and of the monomer-monomer catalytic process in the presence of many ``competing'' inhomogeneities and show, through exact calculations and numerical simulations, that their presence results in a…
The voter model is a classical interacting particle system modelling how consensus is formed across a network. We analyse the time to consensus for the voter model when the underlying graph is a subcritical scale-free random graph.…
The voter model is a toy model of consensus formation based on nearest-neighbor interactions. A voter sits at each vertex in a hypercubic lattice (of dimension $d$) and is in one of two possible opinion states. The opinion state of each…
The voter model has been studied extensively as a paradigmatic opinion dynamics' model. However, its ability for modeling real opinion dynamics has not been addressed. We introduce a noisy voter model (accounting for social influence) with…
The voter model is a classical interacting particle system explaining consensus formation on a social network. Real social networks feature not only a heterogeneous degree distribution but also connections changing over time. We study the…
The constrained voter model describes the dynamics of opinions in a population of individuals located on a connected graph. Each agent is characterized by her opinion, where the set of opinions is represented by a finite sequence of…
Exact single-time and two-time correlations and the two-time response function are found for the order-parameter in the voter model with nearest-neighbour interactions. Their explicit dynamical scaling functions are shown to be continuous…
We introduce the heterogeneous voter model (HVM), in which each agent has its own intrinsic rate to change state, reflective of the heterogeneity of real people, and the partisan voter model (PVM), in which each agent has an innate and…
This article starts by introducing a new theoretical framework to model spatial systems which is obtained from the framework of interacting particle systems by replacing the traditional graphical structure that defines the network of…
We consider a discrete-time voter model process on a set of nodes, each being in one of two states, either 0 or 1. In each time step, each node adopts the state of a randomly sampled neighbor according to sampling probabilities, referred to…
We study the properties of nonequilibrium systems modelled as spin models without defined Hamiltonian as the majority voter model. This model has transition probabilities that do not satisfy the condition of detailed balance. The lack of…
In this paper we are concerned with hydrodynamics of a class of $N$-urn linear systems, which include voter models, pair-symmetric exclusion processes and binary contact path processes on $N$ urns as special cases. We show that the…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the symmetric zero-range process in the finite lattice $\{1,\ldots, N-1\}$ with slow boundary, in which particles are created at site $1$ or annihilated at site $N\!-\!1$ with a rate proportional to…
We consider particle systems that are perturbations of the voter model and show that when space and time are rescaled the system converges to a solution of a reaction diffusion equation in dimensions $d \ge 3$. Combining this result with…
We study the hydrodynamic and the hydrostatic behavior of the Simple Symmetric Exclusion Process with \emph{slow boundary}. The term \emph{slow boundary} means that particles can be born or die at the boundary sites, at a rate proportional…
In this article, we consider the ABC model in contact with slow/fast reservoirs. In this model, there is at most one particle per site, which can be of type $\alpha\in\{A,B,C\}$ and particles exchange positions in the discrete set of points…
The one-dimensional long-range voter model, where an agent takes the opinion of another at distance $r$ with probability $\propto r^{-\alpha}$, is studied analytically. The model displays rich and diverse features as $\alpha$ is changed.…
We study analytically the ordering kinetics of the two-dimensional long-range voter model on a two-dimensional lattice, where agents on each vertex take the opinion of others at distance $r$ with probability $P(r) \propto r^{-\al}$. The…
