We study the effects of campaigning, where the society is partitioned into voter clusters and
a diffusion process propagates opinions in a network connecting the clusters. Our model can …

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 …

Opinion spreading in a society decides the fate of elections, the success of products, and the
impact of political or social movements. A prominent model to study opinion formation …

This paper introduces a comprehensive logical framework to reason about threshold-driven
diffusion and threshold-driven link change in social networks. It considers both monotonic …

Liquid democracy bridges the gap between direct and representative democracy by
allowing agents to vote directly on an issue or delegate to a trusted voter. Yet, when applied …

Abstract Herein, we present Linear Threshold Ranking (LTR), an extension of the Linear
Threshold Model (Kempe et al., KDD 2003). LTR models the spread of a message …

Discrete dynamical systems serve as useful formal models to study diffusion phenomena in
social networks. Several recent articles have studied the algorithmic and complexity aspects …

Opinion diffusion models the spread of information among agents whose connections are
given by a social network. We study opinion diffusion via Boolean networks, in which agents …

In this paper, we study an information exchange process in which a network of individuals
exchanges a binary opinion. In the process, the individuals change their opinions only if a …

An opinion diffusion scenario is considered where two marketers compete to diffuse their
own opinions over a social network. In particular, they implement social proof marketing …
