Benchmarking Cost-Effective Opinion Injection Strategies in Complex Networks
Mathematics, 2022 Inferring the diffusion mechanisms in complex networks is of outstanding interest since it enables better prediction and control over information dissemination, rumors, innovation, and even infectious outbreaks.

OPINION DYNAMICS AND COLLECTIVE DECISIONS [PDF]
Advances in Complex Systems, 2018 We expect that democracy enables us to utilize collective intelligence such that our collective decisions build and enhance social welfare, and such that we accept their distributive and normative consequences. Collective decisions are produced by voting procedures which aggregate individual preferences and judgments.

Dynamics of opinions with social biases [PDF]
Automatica, 2019 This paper aims to provide a systemic analysis to social opinion dynamics subject to individual biases. As a generalization of the classical DeGroot social interactions, defined by linearly coupled dynamics of peer opinions that evolve over time, biases add to state-dependent edge weights and therefore lead to highly nonlinear network dynamics ...

Opinion dynamics: public and private
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2022 We study here the dynamics of opinion formation in a society where we take into account the internally held beliefs and externally expressed opinions of the individuals, which are not necessarily the same at all times. While these two components can influence one another, their difference, both in dynamics and in the steady state, poses interesting ...

Nonlinear Opinion Dynamics With Tunable Sensitivity [PDF]
, 2023 peer reviewedWe propose a continuous-time multioption nonlinear generalization of classical linear weighted-average opinion dynamics. Nonlinearity is introduced by saturating opinion exchanges, and this is enough to enable a significantly greater range ...

Whither Now, Opinion Modelers?
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 The article describes the current status and potential directions of development of agent-based models of social opinion dynamics. Despite extensive effort, the models achieve, at best, only qualitative agreement with social observations.

Social Depolarization and Diversity of Opinions—Unified ABM Framework
Entropy, 2023 Most sociophysics opinion dynamics simulations assume that contacts between agents lead to greater similarity of opinions, and that there is a tendency for agents having similar opinions to group together. These mechanisms result, in many types of models,
