The voter model - from ants behavior to US presidential election part 2
The voter model's history spans back to 1973 when it was formulated forthe first time, however under the name of 'invasion process'. Since thendozens various modifications and extensions have been proposed. As thenumber of its versions, the number of its applications is alsoimpressive - from ants behavior when faced two food sources,monomer-monomer catalytic reactions, investors behavior on a stockmarket, opinion dynamics, to voting processes (from where the usual namecomes). The model was studied under many different names. Therefore, atthe seminar I will give the classification rules and discuss standardversions of the voter model, together with a few results of my own.
