Usually, opinion formation models assume that individuals have an opinion about a given topic which can change due to interactions with others. However, individuals can have …

We propose a new opinion dynamic model based on the experiments and results of Wood et al.(1996). We consider pairs of individuals discussing on two attitudinal dimensions, and we …
As an important factor governing opinion dynamics, stubbornness strongly affects various aspects of opinion formation. However, a systematically theoretical study about the …

This paper introduces an augmented model for first-order opinion dynamics, in which a weight of influence is attributed to each agent. Each agent's influence on another agent's …
Unlike many complex networks studied in the literature, social networks rarely exhibit regular cooperative behavior such as synchronization (referred usually as consensus or …
Opinion dynamics is an opinion evolution process of a group of agents, where the final opinion distribution tends to three stable states: consensus, polarization, and fragmentation …

This work focuses on the effects of an external mass media on continuous opinion dynamics with heterogeneous bounds of confidence. We modified the original Deffuant et al. and …
We present a model of opinion dynamics in which agents adjust continuous opinions as a result of random binary encounters whenever their difference in opinion is below a given …
Opinion dynamics is a fusion process of individual opinions based on the established fusion rules. The existing opinion dynamics models assume that agents express and receive their …
