It is often observed that agents tend to imitate the behavior of their neighbors in a social
network. This imitating behavior might lead to the strategic decision of adopting a public …

We analyse opinion diffusion in social networks, where a finite set of individuals is
connected in a directed graph and each simultaneously changes their opinion to that of the …

We study convergence properties of opinion dynamics with local interactions and limited
information exchange. We adopt a general model where the agents update their opinions in …

Friedkin and Johnsen (1990) modeled opinion formation in social networks as a dynamic
process which evolves in rounds: at each round each agent updates her expressed opinion …

In a discrete preference game, each agent is equipped with an internal belief and declares
her preference from a discrete set of alternatives. The payoff of an agent depends on …

Recently, much attention has been devoted to discrete preference games to model the
formation of opinions in social networks. More specifically, these games model the agents' …

A dynamics retains a specific information about the starting state of a networked multi-player
system if this information can be computed from the state of the system also after several …

We study opinion dynamics in multi-agent networks when a bias toward one of two possible
opinions exists, for example reflecting a status quo versus a superior alternative. Our aim is …

Opinion di usion has been largely studied in the literature on settings where the opinion
whose spread has to be maximized, say white, competes against one opinion only, say …

Motivated by privacy and security concerns in online social networks, we study the role of
social pressure in opinion games. These are games, important in economics and sociology …
