Opinion dynamics have attracted the interest of researchers from different fields. Local
interactions among individuals create interesting dynamics for the system as a whole. Such …

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 …

In this age of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, there is rapidly growing interest in
understanding network-enabled opinion dynamics in large groups of autonomous agents …

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 …

Formation of consensus, in binary yes-no type of voting, is a well-defined process. However,
even in presence of clear incentives, the dynamics involved can be incredibly complex …

We introduce a new, and quite general variational model for opinion dynamics based on
pairwise interaction potentials and a range of opinion evolution protocols ranging from …

O Modelo do Votante (VM) é um modelo puramente estocástico, baseado em agentes,
utilizado como protótipo para dinâmica de opiniões em modelos sociofísicos. Propomos …
