Opinion Exchange Dynamics [PDF]
Probability Surveys, 2017 We survey a range of models of opinion exchange. From the introduction: "The exchange of opinions between individuals is a fundamental social interaction...

Noisy continuous--opinion dynamics [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2009 We study the Deffuant et al. model for continuous--opinion dynamics under the influence of noise. In the original version of this model, individuals meet in random pairwise encounters after which they compromise or not depending of a confidence parameter.

Opinion Dynamics with Bayesian Learning [PDF]
Complexity, 2020 Bayesian learning is a rational and effective strategy in the opinion dynamic process. In this paper, we theoretically prove that individual Bayesian learning can realize asymptotic learning and we test it by simulations on the Zachary network.

On symmetric continuum opinion dynamics [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2016 This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of some common opinion dynamic models in a continuum of agents. We show that as long as the interactions among the agents are symmetric, the distribution of the agents' opinion converges.

Opinion strength influences the spatial dynamics of opinion formation [PDF]
The Journal of Mathematical Sociology, 2016 Opinions are rarely binary; they can be held with different degrees of conviction, and this expanded attitude spectrum can affect the influence one opinion has on others.

Sociophysics Simulations II: Opinion Dynamics [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005 Individuals have opinions but can change them under the influence of others. The recent models of Sznajd (missionaries), of Deffuant et al. (negotiators), and of Krause and Hegselmann (opportunists) are reviewed here, while the voter and Ising models ...

Opinion Dynamics and Communication Networks [PDF]
Advances in Complex Systems, 2010 This paper examines the interplay of opinion exchange dynamics and communication network formation. An opinion formation procedure is introduced which is based on an abstract representation of opinions as k-dimensional bitstrings. Individuals interact if

Chaos in Opinion-Driven Disease Dynamics
EntropyDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, it became evident that the effectiveness of applying intervention measures is significantly influenced by societal acceptance, which, in turn, is affected by the processes of opinion formation.

Characterizing Controversiality of Topics Utilizing Eccentricity of Opinions
Northeast Journal of Complex Systems, 2023 Access to abundant biased information in echo chambers and social bubbles often intensifies opinions to the extremes. The extremization of opinions results in several topics becoming controversial.
