We study the large-population limit of interacting particle systems evolving on adaptive dynamical networks, motivated in particular by models of opinion dynamics. In such systems, agents interact through weighted graphs whose structure…
The statistical theory of extremes is extended to observations that are non-stationary and not independent. The non-stationarity over time and space is controlled via the scedasis (tail scale) in the marginal distributions. Spatial…
We consider the voter model on Z, starting with all 1's to the left of the origin and all 0's to the right of the origin. It is known that if the associated random walk kernel p has zero mean and a finite r-th moment for any r>3, then the…
We consider a one-dimensional random walk among biased i.i.d. conductances, in the case where the random walk is transient but sub-ballistic: this occurs when the conductances have a heavy-tail at $+\infty$ or at $0$. We prove that the…
I examine the mean consensus time (i.e., exit time) of the voter model in the so-called two-clique graph. The two-clique graph is composed of two cliques interconnected by some links and considered as a toy model of networks with community…
We introduce the voter model on the infinite lattice with a slow membrane and investigate its hydrodynamic behavior and nonequilibrium fluctuations. The model is defined as follows: a voter adopts one of its neighbors' opinion at rate one…
The well-posedness of a multi-population dynamical system with an entropy regularization and its convergence to a suitable mean-field approximation are proved, under a general set of assumptions. Under further assumptions on the evolution…
In this work, it is pointed out that in the mean-field version of majority-rule opinion dynamics, the dependence of the consensus time on the population size exhibits two regimes. This is determined by the size distribution of the groups…
A network evolution with predicted tail and extremal indices of PageRank and the Max-Linear Model used as node influence indices in random graphs is considered. The tail index shows a heaviness of the distribution tail. The extremal index…
One of the key socioeconomic phenomena to explain is the distribution of wealth. Bouchaud and M\'ezard have proposed an interesting model of economy [Bouchaud and M\'ezard (2000)] based on trade and investments of agents. In the mean-field…
A method for studying exact properties of a class of {\it inhomogeneous} stochastic many-body systems is developed and presented in the framework of a voter model perturbed by the presence of a ``zealot'', an individual allowed to favour an…
In this paper, we consider a new queueing model where queues balance themselves according to a mean field interaction with a time delay. Unlike other work with delayed information our model considers multi-server queues with customer…
In general, obtaining the exact steady-state distribution of queue lengths is not feasible. Therefore, we establish bounds for the tail probabilities of queue lengths. Specifically, we examine queueing systems under Heavy-Traffic (HT)…
It is known that on directed graphs, the correlations between neighbours of a given site vanish and thus simple mean-field-like arguments can be used to describe exactly the behaviour of Ising-like systems. We analyse heterogeneous…
The extreme values theory presents specific tools for modeling and predicting extreme phenomena. In particular, risk assessment is often analyzed through measures for tail dependence and high values clustering. Despite technological…
We study opinion evolution in networks of stubborn agents discussing a sequence of issues, modeled through the so called concatenated Friedkin-Johnsen (FJ) model. It is concatenated in the sense that agents' opinions evolve for each issue,…
We investigate coarsening and persistence in the voter model by introducing the quantity $P_n(t)$, defined as the fraction of voters who changed their opinion n times up to time t. We show that $P_n(t)$ exhibits scaling behavior that…
We propose an exactly solvable model for the dynamics of voters in a two-party system. The opinion formation process is modeled on a random network of agents. The dynamical nature of interpersonal relations is also reflected in the model,…
We study a simple model in which the growth of a network is determined by the location of one or more random walkers. Depending on walker speed, the model generates a spectrum of structures situated between well-known limiting cases. We…
We extend the analysis developed in [33] in order to prove convergence to consensus results for a Cucker-Smale type model with hierarchical leadership and distributed delay. Flocking estimates are obtained for a general interaction…
