, 2016 Sociophysics has devoted a lot of attention to social influence and opinion dynamics. Among the others, the pioneering works by Galam, where agents randomly gather in groups of different size until consensus is reached, have been used to analyze the spreading of rumors. Galam’s model however, considers only special kinds of social spaces.

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 bit-strings. Individuals interact if the difference in the opinion strings is below a defined similarity threshold dI. Depending on dI,

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.

Social pressure in opinion dynamics [PDF]
Theoretical Computer Science, 2019 Motivated by privacy and security concerns in online social networks, the authors studied the role of social pressure in opinion dynamics. These are dynamics, introduced in economics and sociology literature, that model the formation of opinions in a social network.

Dynamics of Opinion Polarization
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems, 2023 An evident peculiarity in real-life debates is polarization, which produces the push of people’s opinions to extreme positions. It is a fundamental task to understand if opinion dynamics models built to understand the opinion formation processes can reproduce them.

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.
