Nonlinear opinion dynamics with tunable sensitivity
We propose a continuous-time multioption nonlinear generalization of classical linear
weighted-average opinion dynamics. Nonlinearity is introduced by saturating opinion …

Analysis and control of agreement and disagreement opinion cascades
We introduce and analyze a continuous time and state-space model of opinion cascades on
networks of large numbers of agents that form opinions about two or more options. By …

Breaking indecision in multiagent, multioption dynamics
How does a group of agents break indecision when deciding about options with qualities
that are hard to distinguish? Biological and artificial multiagent systems, from honeybees …

[PDF][PDF] A general model of opinion dynamics with tunable sensitivity
We introduce a general model of continuous-time opinion dynamics for an arbitrary number
of agents that communicate over a network and form real-valued opinions about an arbitrary …

Emergence of polarization in a sigmoidal bounded-confidence model of opinion dynamics
We study a nonlinear bounded-confidence model (BCM) of continuous-time opinion
dynamics on networks with both persuadable individuals and zealots. The model is …

Inference of interaction kernels in mean-field models of opinion dynamics
In models of opinion dynamics, many parameters—either in the form of constants or in the
form of functions—play a critical role in describing, calibrating, and forecasting how opinions …

Patterns of nonlinear opinion formation on networks
When communicating agents form opinions about a set of possible options, agreement and
disagreement are both possible outcomes. Depending on the context, either can be …

Control of agreement and disagreement cascades with distributed inputs
For a group of autonomous communicating agents to carry out coordinated objectives, it is
paramount that they can distinguish meaningful input from disturbance, and come rapidly …

Balanced colorings and bifurcations in rivalry and opinion networks
I Stewart - International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2021 - World Scientific
Balanced colorings of networks classify robust synchrony patterns—those that are defined
by subspaces that are flow-invariant for all admissible ODEs. In symmetric networks, the …
