Candidate Voter Dynamics
Christoph Borgers, Natasa Dragovic, Arkadz Kirshtein
We model dynamically changing candidate positions in the face of a dynamic electorate. To formulate our equations, we use a space-time-continuous Hegselmann-Krause equation, which…
On the Poisson Follower Model
Natasa Dragovic, Francois Baccelli
We introduce a stochastic geometry dynamics inspired by opinion dynamics that captures the essence of modern asymmetric social networks with leaders and followers. Points in the Eu…
ODEs and Mandatory Voting
Christoph Börgers, Natasa Dragovic, Anna Haensch +2
This paper presents mathematics relevant to the question whether voting should be mandatory. Assuming a static distribution of voters' political beliefs, we model how politicians m…
A blue sky bifurcation in the dynamics of political candidates
Christoph Börgers, Bruce Boghosian, Natasa Dragovic +1
Political candidates often shift their positions opportunistically in hopes of capturing more votes. When there are only two candidates, the best strategy for each of them is often…
A particle method for continuous Hegselmann-Krause opinion dynamics
Bruce Boghosian, Christoph Börgers, Natasa Dragovic +2
We derive a differential-integral equation akin to the Hegselmann-Krause model of opinion dynamics, and propose a particle method for solving the equation. Numerical experiments de…
A geospatial bounded confidence model including mega-influencers with an application to Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy
Anna Haensch, Natasa Dragovic, Christoph Börgers +1
We introduce a geospatial bounded confidence model with mega-influencers, inspired by Hegselmann and Krause. The inclusion of geography gives rise to large-scale geospatial pattern…
