Asynchronous opinion dynamics on the $k$-nearest-neighbors graph [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This paper is about a new model of opinion dynamics with opinion-dependent connectivity. We assume that agents update their opinions asynchronously and that each agent's new opinion depends on the opinions of the $k$ agents that are closest to it.

Dynamics of opinions with social biases [PDF]

open access: yesAutomatica, 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 on Networks

open access: yes, 2016
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.

On opinion dynamics in heterogeneous networks [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2011 American Control Conference, 2011
This paper studies the opinion dynamics model recently introduced by Hegselmann and Krause: each agent in a group maintains a real number describing its opinion; and each agent updates its opinion by averaging all other opinions that are within some given confidence range. The confidence ranges are distinct for each agent.

A Veritable Zoology of Successive Phase Transitions in the Asymmetric q-Voter Model on Multiplex Networks

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
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]

open access: yes, 2006
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 Under Conformity [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
We present a model of opinion formation where individuals repeatedly engage in discussion and update their opinion in a social network similarly to the DeGroot model. Abstracting from the standard assumption that individuals always report their opinion truthfully, agents in our model interact strategically in the discussion such that their stated ...

Phase transition in Nowak-Sznajd opinion dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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.

A two-layer model for coevolving opinion dynamics and collective decision-making in complex social systems [PDF]

open access: yesChaos, 2020
Motivated by the literature on opinion dynamics and evolutionary game theory, we propose a novel mathematical framework to model the intertwined coevolution of opinions and decision-making in a complex social system.
