Opinion Dynamics with Higher-Order Bounded Confidence [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 The higher-order interactions in complex systems are gaining attention. Extending the classic bounded confidence model where an agent’s opinion update is the average opinion of its peers, this paper proposes a higher-order version of the bounded ...

Bounded Confidence and Cohesion-Moderated Pressure: A General Model for the Large-Scale Dynamics of Ordered Opinion [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 Due to the development of social media, the mechanisms underlying consensus and chaos in opinion dynamics have become open questions and have been extensively researched in disciplines such as sociology, statistical physics, and nonlinear mathematics. In

Consensus, Polarization and Hysteresis in the Three-State Noisy q-Voter Model with Bounded Confidence [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 In this work, we address the question of the role of the influence of group size on the emergence of various collective social phenomena, such as consensus, polarization and social hysteresis.

Opinion formation with time-varying bounded confidence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 When individuals in social groups communicate with one another and are under the influence of neighbors' opinions, they typically revise their own opinions to adapt to such peer opinions.

Mass media impact on opinion evolution in biased digital environments: a bounded confidence model [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 People increasingly shape their opinions by accessing and discussing content shared on social networking websites. These platforms contain a mixture of other users’ shared opinions and content from mainstream media sources.

Multi-level opinion dynamics under bounded confidence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Opinion dynamics focuses on the opinion evolution in a social community. Recently, some models of continuous opinion dynamics under bounded confidence were proposed by Deffuant and Krause, et al. In the literature, agents were generally assumed to have a

Opinion limits study for the multi-selection bounded confidence model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 In this work, we study the opinion limit states for a generalized bounded confidence agent-based opinion model. Agents can select multiple opinions in the network, and the confidence bound is considered on the distance between the average of the selected

Algorithmic bias amplifies opinion fragmentation and polarization: A bounded confidence model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The flow of information reaching us via the online media platforms is optimized not by the information content or relevance but by popularity and proximity to the target. This is typically performed in order to maximise platform usage.

Bounded Confidence under Preferential Flip: A Coupled Dynamics of Structural Balance and Opinions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In this work we study the coupled dynamics of social balance and opinion formation. We propose a model where agents form opinions under bounded confidence, but only considering the opinions of their friends.
