Role of Time Scales in the Coupled Epidemic-Opinion Dynamics on Multiplex Networks [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 Modelling the epidemic’s spread on multiplex networks, considering complex human behaviours, has recently gained the attention of many scientists. In this work, we study the interplay between epidemic spreading and opinion dynamics on multiplex networks.

CoRRWays in which people's opinions change are, without a doubt, subject to a rich tapestry of differing influences. Factors that affect how one arrives at an opinion reflect how they have been shaped by their environment throughout their lives, education, material status, what belief systems are they subscribed to, and what socio-economic minorities are ...

Democratic Thwarting of Majority Rule in Opinion Dynamics: 1. Unavowed Prejudices Versus Contrarians [PDF]
EntropyI study the conditions under which the democratic dynamics of a public debate drives a minority-to-majority transition. A landscape of the opinion dynamics is thus built using the Galam Majority Model (GMM) in a 3-dimensional parameter space for three ...

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.

A Hybrid Opinion Formation and Polarization Model
Entropy, 2022 The last decade has witnessed a great number of opinion formation models that depict the evolution of opinions within a social group and make predictions about the evolution process. In the traditional formulation of opinion evolution such as the DeGroot

Dynamics of opinion expression [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2020 Modeling efforts in opinion dynamics have to a large extent ignored that opinion exchange between individuals can also have an effect on how willing they are to express their opinion publicly. Here, we introduce a model of public opinion expression.

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.

Opinion Dynamics on Discourse Sheaves [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2021 We introduce a novel class of Laplacians and diffusion dynamics on discourse sheaves as a model for network dynamics, with application to opinion dynamics on social networks. These sheaves are algebraic data structures tethered to a network (or more general space) that can represent various modes of communication, including selective opinion modulation
