Voter Model and Biased Voter Model in Heterogeneous Environments
With the rapid adoption of transgenic crops, gene flow from transgenic crops to wild relatives through pollen dispersal is of significant concern andwarrants both empirical and theoretical studies to assess the risk of introduction of transgenes into wild populations. We propose to use the (biased) voter model in a heterogeneous environment to investigate the effects of recurrent gene flow from...
متن کاملVoter model on heterogeneous graphs.
We study the voter model on heterogeneous graphs. We exploit the nonconservation of the magnetization to characterize how consensus is reached. For a network of N nodes with an arbitrary but uncorrelated degree distribution, the mean time to reach consensus T(N) scales as Nmu(2)1/mu(2), where mu(k) is the kth moment of the degree distribution. For a power-law degree distribution n(k) approximat...
متن کاملStretched Exponential Relaxation in the Biased Random Voter Model
We study the relaxation properties of the voter model with i.i.d. random bias. We prove under mild condions that the disorder-averaged relaxation of this biased random voter model is faster than a stretched exponential with exponent d/(d + α), where 0 < α ≤ 2 depends on the transition rates of the non-biased voter model. Under an additional assumption, we show that the above upper bound is opti...
متن کاملNonlinear q-voter model.
We introduce a nonlinear variant of the voter model, the q-voter model, in which q neighbors (with possible repetition) are consulted for a voter to change opinion. If the q neighbors agree, the voter takes their opinion; if they do not have a unanimous opinion, still a voter can flip its state with probability epsilon . We solve the model on a fully connected network (i.e., in mean field) and ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous voter models.
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 fixed preference for one of two possible opinion states. For the HVM, the time until consensus is reached is much longer than in the classic voter model. For the...
