Fixation and Consensus Times on a Network: A Unified Approach
Fixation and Consensus Times on a Network: A Unified Approach
We investigate a set of stochastic models of biodiversity, population genetics, language evolution, and opinion dynamics on a network within a common framework. Each node has a state $0<{x}_{i}<1$ with interactions specified by strengths ${m}_{ij}$. For any set of ${m}_{ij}$, we derive an approximate expression for the mean time to …
