On the role of community structure in evolution of opinion formation: A new bounded confidence opinion dynamics

Y Peng, Y Zhao, J Hu - Information Sciences, 2023 - Elsevier

Opinion dynamics with decaying confidence: Application to community detection in graphs

IC Morarescu, A Girard - IEEE Transactions on Automatic …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org

Managing consensus based on leadership in opinion dynamics

Y Dong, Z Ding, L Martínez, F Herrera - Information Sciences, 2017 - Elsevier
