A lattice model with a spatial dispersion corresponding to a power-law type is suggested. This model serves as a microscopic model for elastic continuum with power-law non-locality. We prove that the continuous limit maps of the equations…
Motivated by the concept of Sierpinski object for topological systems of S.~Vickers, presented recently by R.~Noor and A.~K.~Srivastava, this paper introduces the Sierpinski object for many-valued topological systems and shows that it has…
We present a new model that describes the process of electing a group of representatives (e.g., a parliament) for a group of voters. In this model, called the voting committee model, the elected group of representatives runs a number of…
We consider interface fluctuations on a two-dimensional layered lattice where the couplings follow a hierarchical sequence. This problem is equivalent to the diffusion process of a quantum particle in the presence of a one-dimensional…
We study the properties of elections that have a given position matrix (in such elections each candidate is ranked on each position by a number of voters specified in the matrix). We show that counting elections that generate a given…
We study first order equations of continuity and transport type on metric spaces of martingale dimension one, including finite metric graphs, p.c.f. self-similar sets and classical Sierpi\'nski carpets. On such spaces solutions of the…
In the present article, we deal with geometrical objects induced by the tent maps associated with special Pisot numbers that we call tent-tiles. They are compact subsets of the one-, two-, or three-dimensional Euclidean space, depending on…
The XY-plaquette model is the most straightforward lattice realization of a broad class of fractonic field theories that host quasiparticles with restricted mobility. The plaquette interaction appears naturally as a ring-exchange term in…
We consider two-tier voting system and try to determine optimal weights for a fair representation in such systems. A prominent example of such a voting system is the Council of Ministers of the European Union. Under the assumption of…
Fractal structures pervade nature and are receiving increasing engineering attention towards the realization of broadband resonators and antennas. We show that fractal resonators can support the emergence of high-dimensional chaotic…
We report the presence of multiple flat bands in a class of two-dimensional (2D) lattices formed by Sierpinski gasket (SPG) fractal geometries as the basic unit cells. Solving the tight-binding Hamiltonian for such lattices with different…
In this manuscript, we introduce and study a variant of the agent-based opinion dynamics proposed in a recent work [8], within the framework of an interacting multi-agent system, where agents are assumed to interact with each other and…
Fractals have been at the heart of geophysical and geospatial studies in the recent past. We examine the emergent fractal character of water vapor distributions above the surface of the Earth as a function of both image resolution (number…
In this paper we extend some recent results on an operatorial approach to the description of alliances between political parties interacting among themselves and with a basin of electors. In particular, we propose and compare three…
Mathematical morphology provides a nonlinear framework for image and spatial data processing and analysis. Although there have been many successful applications of mathematical morphology to vector-valued images, such as color and…
In this survey article, we investigate the spectral properties of fractal differential operators on self-similar fractals. In particular, we discuss the decimation method, which introduces a renormalization map whose dynamics describes the…
In this paper, we investigate the so-called ``Sznajd Model'' (SM) in one dimension, which is a simple cellular automata approach to consensus formation among two opposite opinions (described by spin up or down). To elucidate the SM…
We investigate the aging properties of the one-dimensional voter model with long-range interactions in its ordering kinetics. In this system, an agent $S_i=\pm 1$ positioned at a lattice vertex $i$, copies the state of another one located…
We propose an opinion model based on agents located at the vertices of a regular lattice. Each agent has an independent opinion (among an arbitrary, but fixed, number of choices) and its own degree of conviction. The latter changes every…
We study a generalization of the voter model on complex networks, focusing on the scaling of mean exit time. Previous work has defined the voter model in terms of an initially chosen node and a randomly chosen neighbor, which makes it…
