In this paper, some efficient criteria for finite-time consensus of a class of nonsmooth opinion
dynamics over a digraph are established. The lower and upper bounds on the finite settling …

The mechanism of reaching consensus in multi-agent systems has been exhaustively
studied in recent years, motivated by numerous applications in engineering and science …

In complex group decision making (GDM), reaching a consensus needs both the adequate
communication and exchange between the individual decision makers (DMs) and the input …

In this paper we analyze emergent collective phenomena in the evolution of opinions in a
society structured into few interacting nodes of a network. The presented mathematical …

This article aims to study the influence of the group attitude on the consensus reaching
process in group decision making (GDM). To do that, the attitudinal consensus index (ACI) is …

The influence of mutual interaction behaviors on the opinions and consensus process has
gradually emerged due to the information sharing in social networks. Currently, the cost of …

The effects of interpersonal interactions on individual's agreements result in a social
aggregation process which is reflected in the formation of collective states, as for instance …

We study opinion dynamics on complex social networks where each individual holding a
binary opinion on a certain subject may change her/his mind to match the opinion of the …

Large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM) problems have drawn general attention from
scholars. The distribution linguistic preference relation (DLPR) is a flexible and practical tool …

As digitalization advances and societal patterns evolve, an increasing number of experts are
becoming integral to the decision-making process. The realm of large-scale group decision …
