The impact of noise and topology on opinion dynamics in social networks [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 We investigate the impact of noise and topology on opinion diversity in social networks. We do so by extending well-established models of opinion dynamics to a stochastic setting where agents are subject both to assimilative forces by their local social ...

Dynamics of opinion forming in structurally balanced social networks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 A structurally balanced social network is a social community that splits into two antagonistic factions (typical example being a two-party political system).

Asynchronous Opinion Dynamics in Social Networks [PDF]
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2022 Opinion spreading in a society decides the fate of elections, the success of products, and the impact of political or social movements. The model by Hegselmann and Krause is a well-known theoretical model to study such opinion formation processes in social networks.

Using a mixed opinion dynamics and innovation diffusion model to explore the 'best game no one played' phenomenon. [PDF]
PLoS ONEInnovative products that receive favorable reviews but never catch on with consumers belong to a category known as the "best game no one played." We combined an adoption threshold model with an opinion dynamics model to examine reasons why certain high ...

An extended Hegselmann-Krause model incorporating agent heterogeneity and influence propagation. [PDF]
PLoS ONETraditional models of opinion dynamics provide a simplified framework for understanding human behavior in basic social scenarios. However, with the rise of complex communication patterns and heterogeneous social interactions in modern networks, more ...

Stable Boundaries of Opinion Dynamics in Heterogeneous Spatial Complex Networks [PDF]
EntropyWe investigate majority-vote opinion dynamics on Geometric Inhomogeneous Random Graphs (GIRGs), a powerful model for spatial complex networks. In contrast to classic coarsening dynamics, where a single opinion typically achieves global consensus, our ...

Analysis of Opinion Evolution Based on Hegselmann–Krause Model with Historical Opinion [PDF]
EntropyIn realistic social networks, individuals are influenced not only by current interactions, but also by recent historical opinions, prior experience, and external guidance.

Steering polarization toward consensus in signed majority-vote opinion models [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSigned social networks, which encode both positive and negative relationships, frequently constrain opinion dynamics, leading to sustained polarization.

Reinforcement learning-based optimal control for stochastic opinion dynamics [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThis paper proposes a integrated framework for optimal control of opinion dynamics in social networks, addressing three progressively challenging scenarios: Model-based stochastic control, where agent interactions follow known probability distributions ...
