DOI: 10.1016/j.physa.2019.121900
Abstract: Abstract Current opinion formation models typically assume that two individuals (agents) will communicate with each other only if the distance between their opinions is less than a threshold called the bound of confidence. However, in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0276020
Abstract: Math anxiety is negatively correlated with student performance and can result in avoidance of further math/STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) classes and careers. Cooperative learning (i.e., group work) is a proven strategy that can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/jsyst.2022.3205724
Abstract: Persuasion exists in every aspect of social life. It is important to understand how persuasion works and how strong it is. In this article, we improve the classic Hegselmann–Krause model, one of the most famous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lcsys.2024.3405379
Abstract: Frequency synchronization of bounded confidence Kuramoto oscillators is analyzed. The dynamics of each oscillator is defined by the average of the phase differences with its neighbors, where any two oscillators are considered neighbors if their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tac.2020.2994284
Abstract: In this article, we study the nonlinear Fokker–Planck (FP) equation that arises as a mean-field (macroscopic) approximation of bounded confidence opinion dynamics, where opinions are influenced by environmental noises and opinions of radicals (stubborn individuals).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tcss.2019.2938258
Abstract: Different feedback mechanisms have been developed in large-scale group decision-making (GDM) to provide the decision-makers with advices for preference adjustment with the aim of improving the group consensus level. However, the willingness of the decision-makers… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/e24091300
Abstract: The higher-order interactions in complex systems are gaining attention. Extending the classic bounded confidence model where an agent’s opinion update is the average opinion of its peers, this paper proposes a higher-order version of the… read more here.

An "Opinion Reproduction Number" for Infodemics in a Bounded-Confidence Content-Spreading Process on Networks
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Chaos"
DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2403.01066
Abstract: We study the spreading dynamics of content on networks. To do this, we use a model in which content spreads through a bounded-confidence mechanism. In a bounded-confidence model (BCM) of opinion dynamics, the agents of… read more here.
