This paper introduces an evidential opinion dynamics model combing Dempster–Shafer
evidence theory to explore the opinion evolution. Our model is an improvement of the …

We study transient behavior of gossip opinion dynamics, in which agents randomly interact
pairwise over a weighted graph with two communities. Edges within a community have …

The trust degrees among individuals play an important role in social network group decision
making (SNGDM). They are assumed to be unchanged with the time in most of extant …

In this paper, we study the evolution of opinions where people are not sure of their own
opinions and/or their opinions may be conflicting to others' in social networks. We model two …

Opinion exchange is useful when a military agent needs to take the opinions of others into
account before decision making. Few studies have addressed opinion dynamics in military …

Opinion dynamics are investigated extensively to describe the process of opinion formation
in groups of individuals. Most of the existing opinion dynamics models assume that the …

Prior studies on opinion modeling focus on nonlinear physics or statistical physics methods,
or simulating the opinion interaction merely by the principle of the minority being …

Predicting and utilizing the evolution trend of hot topics is critical for contingency
management and decision-making purposes of government bodies and enterprises. This …

A fuzzy opinion is a Gaussian fuzzy set with the center representing the opinion and the
standard deviation representing the uncertainty about the opinion, and a fuzzy opinion …

Opinion dynamics on social networks describe the time evolution of the opinions within the
leader–follower coopetitive (cooperative-competitive) interactions. When does opinion …
