Lee Worden Research Wiki

From Worden

This site is an open lab notebook, implemented as a wiki with enhancements for research use. I intend to house several active research projects here. Below are the different things that are here.

Consensus dynamics project

The Consensus Dynamics Project is about people making a decision together when they may disagree about what is desirable. We are using simplified models to investigate effective ways of reaching a mutually agreeable outcome.

Reflexive Graph Laplacian Operations

I am working on a manuscript about a math project in progress, regarding how to use a graph's structure to operate on itself, making the graph more or less clustered.

• Laplacian Paper

Simulation experiments:

• Laplacian Experiments/Linear Laplacian ODEs
• Laplacian Experiments/Nonlinear Laplacian ODEs
• Laplacian Experiments/Laplacianoid ODEs
• Laplacian Experiments/Stochastic

Analysis pages:

• Laplacian Clustering
• Laplacianoid
• Laplacian Experiments/Stochastic
• Laplacian Experiments/Eigenvectors
• Laplacian Experiments/Eigenmatrices
• but actually the most up-to-date and concise analysis is in the Laplacian Paper draft itself...

Open grantwriting and job applications

Refining the Consensus Dynamics Project in research proposals and applying to various sources for support.

Also refining the documents I am using in the job search process.

Math 105

In the fall semester 2011 I taught a math class at a local art school, with a curriculum covering "Systems, networks, and strategy." I used this wiki to develop the curriculum, weekly lectures, and course material in the open.

Other stuff

• half-baked ideas: things I could be working on, if there were enough of me.

• ITP presentation: Aug. 27, 2011 presentation of a paper about the WorkingWiki software at a workshop on math wikis

• Thresholds Presentation 12-9-2011: Dec. 9, 2011 presentation about our research on threshold models and abrupt change in social norms, at the Getz lab's weekly meeting (in Berkeley)

• Consensus Presentation 12-16-2011: Dec. 16, 2011 talk about the Consensus Dynamics Project, at McMaster

About this wiki

This is part of the theobio group of wikis, hosted by Jonathan Dushoff's lab at McMaster University.

This wiki includes the WorkingWiki extension, meaning it can house the contents of our research projects, not just documentation of the techniques and results. For more information about that, see the documentation on our Projects wiki. Users are encouraged to explore and experiment with the WW features, and to help us improve the features and their documentation.
