We provide a mean-field description for a leader-follower dynamics with mass transfer among the two populations. This model allows the transition from followers to leaders and vice versa, with scalar-valued transition rates depending nonlinearly on the global state of the system at each time. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the leader-follower dynamics, under suitable assumptions. We then establish, for an appropriate choice of the initial datum, the equivalence of the system with a PDE-ODE system, that consists of a continuity equation over the state space and an ODE for the transition from leader to follower or vice versa. We further introduce a stochastic process approximating the PDE, together with a jump process that models the switch between the two populations. Using a propagation of chaos argument, we show that the particle system generated by these two processes converges in probability to a solution of the PDE-ODE system. Finally, several numerical simulations of social interactions dynamics modeled by our system are discussed.

We use methods from combinatorics and algebraic statistics to study analogues of birth-and-death processes that have as their state space a finite subset of the $m$-dimensional lattice and for which the $m$ matrices that record the transition probabi lities in each of the lattice directions commute pairwise. One reason such processes are of interest is that the transition matrix is straightforward to diagonalize, and hence it is easy to compute $n$ step transition probabilities. The set of commuting birth-and-death processes decomposes as a union of toric varieties, with the main component being the closure of all processes whose nearest neighbor transition probabilities are positive. We exhibit an explicit monomial parametrization for this main component, and we explore the boundary components using primary decomposition.
In this paper, a baseline model termed as random birth-and-death network model (RBDN) is considered, in which at each time step, a new node is added into the network with probability p (0<p <1) connect it with m old nodes uniformly, or an existing no de is deleted from the network with probability q=1-p. This model allows for fluctuations in size, which may reach many different disciplines in physics, ecology and economics. The purpose of this study is to develop the RBDN model and explore its basic statistical properties. For different p, we first discuss the network size of RBDN. And then combining the stochastic process rules (SPR) based Markov chain method and the probability generating function method, we provide the exact solutions of the degree distributions. Finally, the characteristics of the tail of the degree distributions are explored after simulation verification. Our results show that the tail of the degree distribution for RBDN exhibits a Poisson tail in the case of 0<p<=1/2 and an exponential tail as p approaches to 1.
In this paper, we study a model for opinion dynamics where the influence weights of agents evolve in time via an equation which is coupled with the opinions evolution. We explore the natural question of the large population limit with two approaches: the now classical mean-field limit and the more recent graph limit. After establishing the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the models that we will consider, we provide a rigorous mathematical justification for taking the graph limit in a general context. Then, establishing the key notion of indistinguishability, which is a necessary framework to consider the mean-field limit, we prove the subordination of the mean-field limit to the graph one in that context. This actually provides an alternative (but weaker) proof for the mean-field limit. We conclude by showing some numerical simulations to illustrate our results.
We consider stochastic UL and LU block factorizations of the one-step transition probability matrix for a discrete-time quasi-birth-and-death process, namely a stochastic block tridiagonal matrix. The simpler case of random walks with only nearest ne ighbors transitions gives a unique LU factorization and a one-parameter family of factorizations in the UL case. The block structure considered here yields many more possible factorizations resulting in a much enlarged class of potential applications. By reversing the order of the factors (also known as a Darboux transformation) we get new families of quasi-birth-and-death processes where it is possible to identify the matrix-valued spectral measures in terms of a Geronimus (UL) or a Christoffel (LU) transformation of the original one. We apply our results to one example going with matrix-valued Jacobi polynomials arising in group representation theory. We also give urn models for some particular cases.

The dynamics of populations is frequently subject to intrinsic noise. At the same time unknown interaction networks or rate constants can present quenched uncertainty. Existing approaches often involve repeated sampling of the quenched disorder and t hen running the stochastic birth-death dynamics on these samples. In this paper we take a different view, and formulate an effective jump process, representative of the ensemble of quenched interactions as a whole. Using evolutionary games with random payoff matrices as an example, we develop an algorithm to simulate this process, and we discuss diffusion approximations in the limit of weak intrinsic noise.
