On a Networked SIS Epidemic Model With Cooperative and Antagonistic Opinion Dynamics [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, 2021 We propose a mathematical model to study coupled epidemic and opinion dynamics in a network of communities. Our model captures SIS epidemic dynamics, whose evolution is dependent on the opinions of the communities toward the epidemic, and vice versa.

Opinion Evolution in Divided Community
Entropy, 2022 Our agent-based model of opinion dynamics concerns the current vast divisions in modern societies. It examines the process of social polarization, understood here as the partition of a community into two opposing groups with contradictory opinions.

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 ...

The Sound of Silence: Minorities, Abstention and Democracy
Entropy, 2021 Despite the existence of an extensive literature, no definitive conclusion seems to emerge on the extent to which minorities are guaranteed by democratic rules in political systems.

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.

A Bounded-Confidence Model of Opinion Dynamics on Hypergraphs [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2021 People's opinions evolve over time as they interact with their friends, family, colleagues, and others. In the study of opinion dynamics on networks, one often encodes interactions between people in the form of dyadic relationships, but many social ...

Dynamical model for competing opinions [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2012 We propose an opinion model based on agents located at the vertices of a regular lattice. Each agent has an independent opinion (among an arbitrary, but fixed, number of choices) and its own degree of conviction. The latter changes every time it interacts with another agent who has a different opinion.

Polarization in Geometric Opinion Dynamics [PDF]
ACM Conference on Economics and Computation, 2021 In light of increasing recent attention to political polarization, understanding how polarization can arise poses an important theoretical question. While more classical models of opinion dynamics seem poorly equipped to study this phenomenon, a recent ...

Deriving an Opinion Dynamics Model from Experimental Data
Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 2022 : Opinion dynamics models have huge potential for understanding and addressing social problems where solutions require the coordination of opinions, like anthropogenic climate change.

Higher order interactions destroy phase transitions in Deffuant opinion dynamics model [PDF]
Communications Physics, 2021 Most opinion dynamics models are based on pairwise interactions. However in many real situations, discussions take place within groups of people. Here, we define a higher order Deffuant model by generalizing the original pairwise interaction model for ...
