OPINION DYNAMICS AND COLLECTIVE DECISIONS [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances 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.

Evolution of Social Power for Opinion Dynamics Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This article studies the evolution of opinions and interpersonal influence structures in a group of agents as they discuss a sequence of issues, each of which follows an opinion dynamics model.

Biased Majority Opinion Dynamics: Exploiting Graph k-domination

open access: yesInternational Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2022
We study opinion dynamics in multi-agent networks where agents hold binary opinions and are influenced by their neighbors while being biased towards one of the two opinions, called the superior opinion.

Review of Public Opinion Dynamics Models [PDF]

open access: yesJisuanji kexue
Social network provides a medium for information dissemination,leading to the rapid development of public opinion.Controlling the development direction of public opinion is one of the core issues of public opinion dynamics.However,the public opinion ...

Scaling limits for continuous opinion dynamics systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Scaling limits are analyzed for stochastic continuous opinion dynamics systems, also known as gossip models. In such models, agents update their vector-valued opinion to a convex combination (possibly agent- and opinion-dependent) of their current value ...

Whither Now, Opinion Modelers?

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesEntropy, 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,

A stabilization theorem for dynamics of continuous opinions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A stabilization theorem for processes of opinion dynamics is presented. The theorem is applicable to a wide class of models of continuous opinion dynamics based on averaging (like the models of Hegselmann-Krause and Weisbuch-Deffuant).
