Adaptive Platform Dynamics in Multi-Party Spatial Voting

Abstention in Dynamical Models of Spatial Voting

We consider a model of platform adaptation in spatial voting focussing on the effect of abstention on the stability of the mean voter equilibrium. Two distinct approaches for modeling abstention are explored: (1) voters abstain if party platforms are too similar to each other and (2) voters abstain if both party platforms are far away from their ideal points.

Abstention causes bifurcations in two-party voting dynamics

In a recent dynamical systems model of platform adaptation in spatial voting models, Miller and Stadler (J. Econ. Dyn. & Control 1998, in press) showed that, assuming concave voter utility functions and complete participation, there is a globally stable equilibrium located at the mean voter position. Here we show that abstention depending on the distances between voters and platforms may lead t...

Optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear multi-agent systems: Known and unknown dynamics

In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...

Voting Algorithm Based on Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System for Fault Tolerant Systems

some applications are critical and must designed Fault Tolerant System. Usually Voting Algorithm is one of the principle elements of a Fault Tolerant System. Two kinds of voting algorithm are used in most applications, they are majority voting algorithm and weighted average algorithm these algorithms have some problems. Majority confronts with the problem of threshold limits and voter of weight...
