interactions among individuals create interesting dynamics for the system as a whole. Such …

Opinion dynamics is a fusion process of individual opinions, in which a group of interacting
agents continuously fuse their opinions on the same issue based on established fusion rules …

In this paper, from the perspective of opinion dynamics theory, we investigate the interaction
mechanism of a group of autonomous agents in an e-commerce community (or social …

This book discusses the study and analysis of the physical aspects of social systems and
models, inspired by the analogy with familiar models of physical systems and possible …

Opinion dynamics (OD) models, which simulate individuals' opinion evolution process on

In this age of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, there is rapidly growing interest in
understanding network-enabled opinion dynamics in large groups of autonomous agents …

Polarization in a group's opinions drives to disagreements and dissent among individuals,
which make it harder to achieve group satisfactory decisions. Within Group Decision Making …

At the beginning of this century, Hegselmann and Krause proposed a dynamical model for
opinion formation that is referred to as the Bounded Confidence Opinion Dynamics (BCOD) …

Opinion dynamics is a kind of collective decision-making process and focuses on the study
