Marvin Lücke (ZIB): Concentration Effects and Collective Variables in Agent-Based Systems

Due to the high-dimensionality of Agent-Based Models, simulations and numerical analysis are computationally expensive, and due to their complexity formal analysis is often out of reach. However, the macroscopic behavior of ABMs can sometimes be expressed by a small number of collective variables that aggregate the most important dynamical information and follow an almost deterministic and smooth evolution. We will discuss these phenomena for an example ABM called continuous-time noisy voter model.
