Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At what point in the development of a new field should a book be written about it? This question is seldom easy to answer. In the case of interacting particle systems, important progress continues to be made at a substantial pace. A number of problems which are nearly as old as the subject itself remain open, and new problem areas continue to arise and develop. Thus one might argue that the time is not yet ripe for a book on this subject. On the other hand, this field is now about fifteen years old. Many important of several basic models is problems have been solved and the analysis almost complete. The papers written on this subject number in the hundreds. It has become increasingly difficult for newcomers to master the proliferating literature, and for workers in allied areas to make effective use of it. Thus I have concluded that this is an appropriate time to pause and take stock of the progress made to date. It is my hope that this book will not only provide a useful account of much of this progress, but that it will also help stimulate the future vigorous development of this field.

Book excerpt: Abstract: In this dissertation, the dynamics of socially or biologically interacting populations are investigated. The individual members of the population are treated as particles that interact via links on a social or biological network represented as a graph. The effect of the structure of the graph on the properties of the interacting particle system is studied using statistical physics techniques. In the first chapter, the central concepts of graph theory and social and biological networks are presented. Next, interacting particle systems that are drawn from physics, mathematics and biology are discussed in the second chapter. In the third chapter, the random walk on a graph is studied. The mean time for a random walk to traverse between two arbitrary sites of a random graph is evaluated. Using an effective medium approximation it is found that the mean first-passage time between pairs of sites, as well as all moments of this first-passage time, are insensitive to the density of links in the graph. The inverse of the mean-first passage time varies non-monotonically with the density of links near the percolation transition of the random graph. Much of the behavior can be understood by simple heuristic arguments. Evolutionary dynamics, by which mutants overspread an otherwise uniform population on heterogeneous graphs, are studied in the fourth chapter. Such a process underlies' epidemic propagation, emergence of fads, social cooperation or invasion of an ecological niche by a new species. The first part of this chapter is devoted to neutral dynamics, in which the mutant genotype does not have a selective advantage over the resident genotype. The time to extinction of one of the two genotypes is derived. In the second part of this chapter, selective advantage or fitness is introduced such that the mutant genotype has a higher birth rate or a lower death rate. This selective advantage leads to a dynamical competition in which selection dominates for large populations, while for small populations the dynamics are similar to the neutral case. The likelihood for the fitter mutants to drive the resident genotype to extinction is calculated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Interacting particle systems are Markov processes involving infinitely many interacting components. Since their introduction in the 1970s, researchers have found many applications in statistical physics and population biology. Genealogies, which follow the origin of the state of a site backwards in time, play an important role in their studies, especially for the biologically motivated systems. The program Genealogies of Interacting Particle Systems held at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore, from 17 July to 18 Aug 2017, brought together experts and young researchers interested in this modern topic. Central to the program were learning sessions where lecturers presented work outside of their own research, as well as a normal workshop "--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: In the last twenty years, the modeling of complex systems has become a relevant domain of study, not only in applied sciences, but also among mathematicians. The recent improvements in the understanding of interacting particle systems, as well as the new insights coming from graph theory, allow to mathematically tackle new exciting problems in the challenging world of complex phenomena.This thesis addresses a rather general class of interacting particle systems defined on graph sequences. Notably, it focuses on weakly interacting particles described by differential equations, both deterministic and stochastic, where an extra structure encoding the connections among the particles is present. The mean-field hypothesis under which each particle is connected to all the others and in exactly the same way, is relaxed to a much more general assumption: the connections between the particles are supposed to be encoded by a general network, instead of the trivial complete graph of the mean-field case, meaning that a particle is interacting with another in a way that is proportional to the weight of the edge connecting the twos in the underlying graph.Several aspects for this class of models appear to be new in current research and demand new tools and techniques, but also new insights to unveil how the complexity behind the underlying network affects the particle dynamics.The present manuscript poses the focus on three main aspects: the relationship with the mean-field behavior, i.e., on which graph sequences the system behavior is suitably described by the classical mean-field limit; the extensions to inhomogeneous graph sequences and consequent inhomogeneous behaviors; finally, a first study on the long time dynamics for a particular model of interacting diffusions on graphs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, interacting particle systems have been studied widely from the standpoints of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. Many researchers are becoming interested in this field.This book focuses on the phase transitions of interacting particle systems, especially their critical values and order parameters. It poses the following question: How can we get good bounds on the critical values and the order parameters? This question is very basic, and many researchers have been trying to get better bounds rigorously. Hence the book provides bounds — both the author's and others'.

Book excerpt: The main subject of the thesis is concerned with interacting particle systems, which are classes of spatio-temporal stochastic processes describing the evolution of particles in interaction with each other on a finite or infinite discrete space. In part I we investigate the stochastic order in a particle system with multiple births, deaths and jumps on the d-dimensional lattice. We give applications on biological models of spread of epidemics and metapopulations dynamics systems. In part II we analyse the coalescing random walk in a class of finite random graphs modeling social networks, the small world graphs.

Download or read book Probability on Graphs written by Geoffrey Grimmett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to some of the principal models in the theory of disordered systems leads the reader through the basics, to the very edge of contemporary research, with the minimum of technical fuss. Topics covered include random walk, percolation, self-avoiding walk, interacting particle systems, uniform spanning tree, random graphs, as well as the Ising, Potts, and random-cluster models for ferromagnetism, and the Lorentz model for motion in a random medium. Schramm–Löwner evolutions (SLE) arise in various contexts. The choice of topics is strongly motivated by modern applications and focuses on areas that merit further research. Special features include a simple account of Smirnov's proof of Cardy's formula for critical percolation, and a fairly full account of the theory of influence and sharp-thresholds. Accessible to a wide audience of mathematicians and physicists, this book can be used as a graduate course text. Each chapter ends with a range of exercises.
