Cultural traits operating in senders are driving forces of cultural evolution.

Our model shifts the focus from the receiver to the sender of cultural information and emphasizes the role of sender traits, such as communicability or persuasiveness.

Social influence with recurrent mobility and multiple options.

In this paper, we discuss the possible generalizations of the social influence with recurrent mobility (SIRM) model [Phys. Rev. Lett.

Continuous time limits of the utterance selection model.

In this paper we derive alternative continuous time limits of the utterance selection model (USM) for language change [G. J. Baxter et al.
