چکیده
We establish an upper bound on the critical value of the process obtained by superimposing the voter model on the contact process in one dimension.

The Survival of Large Dimensional Threshold Contact Processes
We study the threshold θ contact process on Z d with infection parameter λ. We show that the critical point λc, defined as the threshold for survival starting from every site occupied, vanishes as d → ∞. This implies that the threshold θ voter model on Z d has a nondegen-erate extremal invariant measure, when d is large. 1. Introduction and results. In this paper we study the threshold θ contac...
متن کاملLower and Upper Bounds for the Survival of Infinite Absorbing Markov Chains
A wide variety of problems in the domain of directed percolation theory, contact process, voter models rely on the analysis of a infinite absorbing Markov chain. Although results for these problems have been obtained through other approaches, reasoning about the Markov chain gives rise to elegant results that are often explicit functions of the chain parameters. This allows results to be reused...
متن کاملTightness of Voter Model Interfaces
Consider a long-range, one-dimensional voter model started with all zeroes on the negative integers and all ones on the positive integers. If the process obtained by identifying states that are translations of each other is positively recurrent, then it is said that the voter model exhibits interface tightness. In 1995, Cox and Durrett proved that one-dimensional voter models exhibit interface ...
متن کاملThe Politics of Consumption Taxes: Globalization and the Median Voter
The regressive nature of consumption taxes poses a challenge to partisan theory. Using data for up to 20 OECD countries in the period 1970-2003 this article aims to explore the question of whether the idea that social democratic governments typically have to compromise on policy goals and core constituency interests to make themselves more appealing to the median voter necessitates the use of r...
متن کاملDouble voter perceptible blind signature based electronic voting protocol
Mu et al. have proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects anonymity of voters, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter's privacy and prevent double voting. After that, several schemes have been presented to fulfill these properties. However, many of them suffer from the same weaknesses. In this p...
