The Euler-Equation Approach in Average-Oriented Opinion Dynamics †
We consider the models of average-oriented opinion dynamics. An opinion about an event is distributed among the agents of a social network. There are an optimization problem and two game-theoretical models when players as centers of influence aim to make

We analyze a nonlinear q-voter model with stochastic noise, interpreted in the social context as independence, on a duplex network. The size of the lobby q (i.e., the pressure group) is a crucial parameter that changes the behavior of the system.

Opinion formation models based on game theory [PDF]
A way to simulate the basic interactions between two individuals with different opinions, in the context of strategic game theory, is proposed. Various games are considered, which produce different kinds of opinion formation dynamics.

Opinion dynamics on directed small-world networks [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the self-affirmation effect on formation of public opinion in a directed small-world social network. The system presents a non-equilibrium phase transition from a consensus state to a disordered state with coexistence of ...

Opinion dynamics in relative agreement models seen as an extension of bounded confidence ones, involve a new agents’ variable usually called opinion uncertainty and have higher level of complexity than that of bounded confidence models.

Decentralized Dynamics for Finite Opinion Games [PDF]
Game theory studies situations in which strategic players can modify the state of a given system, due to the absence of a central authority. Solution concepts, such as Nash equilibrium, are defined to predict the outcome of such situations. In multi-player settings, it has been pointed out that to be realistic, a solution concept should be obtainable ...

Treatment Decision‐Making Roles and Preferences Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer
ABSTRACT Background Decision‐making (DM) dynamics between adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, parents, and oncologists remain underexplored in diverse populations. We examined cancer treatment DM preferences among an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse group of AYAs and their parents.

Phase transition in Nowak-Sznajd opinion dynamics [PDF]
The Nowak modification of the Sznajd opinion dynamics model on the square lattice assumes that with probabilities beta and gamma the opinions flip due to mass-media advertising from down to up, and vice versa.

Opinion dynamics on biased dynamical networks: Beyond rare opinion updating
Opinion dynamics is of paramount importance as it provides insights into the complex dynamics of opinion propagation and social relationship adjustment. It is assumed in most of the previous works that social relationships evolve much faster than opinions. This is not always true in reality.

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.
