SUMMARY:Mathematical Biology Seminar - Will Magrogan
LOCATION:Engineering Center ECCR 257\, 1111 Engineering Drive\, Boulder\,

DESCRIPTION:Will Magrogan\, Department of Applied Mathematics\, University
  of Colorado Boulder\n\nOpinion and Culture Evolution in Higher Dimension
 s\n\nVoter models were first proposed in 1975 by Holley and Ligget as a f
 ramework for understanding how consensus is reached in a network of inter
 acting single-opinion voters. The model can be extended to allow opinions
  on multiple issues and addition nuace in opinions. More nuanced opinions
  allows correlations in interactions between them and in how opinion upda
 te. A tractable implementation of these rules\, similar to the Axelrod mo
 del of cultural diffusion (introduced in 1997) parameterizes these update
  rules as update probabilities. In this way\, we will examine the dynamic
 s and asymptotics of a two dimensional binary opinion space and anazlye t
 he system kinetics as it evolves towards either polarization\, or consens
 us. These results offer insight into different regimes of opinion formati
 on and tools to analyze real-world voter data.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/ev
