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 …
This review presents an overview of the current research in kinetic exchange models for opinion formation in a society. The review begins with a brief introduction to previous models …
We propose a model of continuous opinion dynamics, where mutual interactions can be both positive and negative. Different types of distributions for the interactions, all …
We introduce and discuss kinetic models of opinion formation on social networks in which the distribution function depends on both the opinion and the connectivity of the agents. The …

We consider a nonlinear kinetic equation of Boltzmann type, which takes into account the influence of conviction during the formation of opinion in a system of agents, which interact …
We analyze the critical behavior of a class of discrete opinion models in the presence of disorder. Within this class, each agent opinion takes a discrete value (±1 or 0) and its time …

We study a model of continuous opinion dynamics with both positive and negative mutual interactions. The model shows a continuous phase transition between a phase with …
In this work we study the opinion evolution in a community-based population with intergroup interactions. We address two issues. First, we consider that such intergroup interactions can …

In this work we consider a model of epidemic spreading coupled with an opinion dynamics in a fully-connected population. Regarding the opinion dynamics, the individuals may be in …
