Staged Models for Interdisciplinary Research
Luis F. Lafuerza, Louise Dyson, Bruce Edmonds +1
Modellers of complex biological or social systems are often faced with an invidious choice: to use simple models with few mechanisms that can be fully analysed, or to construct com…
Simplification and analysis of a model of social interaction in voting
Luis F. Lafuerza, Louise Dyson, Bruce Edmonds +1
A recently proposed model of social interaction in voting is investigated by simplifying it down into a version that is more analytically tractable and which allows a mathematical…
The statistics of fixation times for systems with recruitment
Tommaso Biancalani, Louise Dyson, Alan J. McKane
We investigate the statistics of the time taken for a system driven by recruitment to reach fixation. Our model describes a series of experiments where a population is confronted w…
Onset of collective motion in locusts is captured by a minimal model
Louise Dyson, Christian A. Yates, Jerome Buhl +1
We present a minimal model to describe the onset of collective motion seen when a population of locusts are placed in an annular arena. At low densities motion is disordered, while…
Noise-Induced Bistable States and Their Mean Switching Time in Foraging Colonies
Tommaso Biancalani, Louise Dyson, Alan J. McKane
We investigate a type of bistability where noise not only causes transitions between stable states, but also constructs the states themselves. We focus on the experimentally well-s…
