Deffuant model with general opinion distributions: First impression and critical confidence bound

Y Shang - Complexity, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
In the Deffuant model for social influence, pairs of adjacent agents interact at a constant rate
and mix up their opinions (represented by continuous variables) only if the distance between …

Continuous-time opinion dynamics on multiple interdependent topics

M Ye, MH Trinh, YH Lim, BDO Anderson, HS Ahn - Automatica, 2020 - Elsevier
In this paper, and inspired by the recent discrete-time model in Parsegov et al.(2017) and
Friedkin et al.(2016), we study two continuous-time opinion dynamics models (Model 1 and …

Mesoscopic analytical approach in a three state opinion model with continuous internal variable

L Pedraza, JP Pinasco, V Semeshenko… - Chaos, Solitons & …, 2023 - Elsevier
Analytical approaches in models of opinion formation have been extensively studied either

Opinion dynamics in networks with common-neighbors-based connections

H Wang, L Shang - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2015 - Elsevier
We investigate opinion dynamics of the model in which each agent can communicate with
local neighbors whose opinions are inside the bound of confidence and meanwhile …

Discrete opinion dynamics with stubborn agents
