Extra Credits: Teddy Roosevelt the Trustbuster

Another excellent series from Extra Credits is dedicated to the fight against Standard Oil, the megacorporation of the 1900s. We share this video becomes its themes strongly overlap with an earlier video from Wisecrack we have shared few weeks ago. Numerous historical billionaires mentioned in the Wisecrack videos are also seen in this series by Extra Credits.

We invite you to watch the first video and find later videos on the Extra Credits channel on Youtube.

Supportive interactions in the noisy voter model

Typically voter models assume that recruitment occurs between two interacting individuals. Obviously recruitment can occur only if these individuals have different opinions. While nothing will happen if these individuals hold the same opinions. Though Latane social impact [1] predicts that support provided by like-minded individuals can also play a role. In this post I'll discuss my last work done during my postdoctoral project [2], which introduces supportive interactions into the voter model.

Anomalous diffusion in non-linear transformation of voter model

Lets continue the topic of anomalous diffusion by considering my recent manuscript together with R. Kazakevicius [1]. In the said manuscript we have considered two different non-linear transformations of the noisy voter model. Here we present you with non-linear transformation of the observable.
