TLDR
A model of opinion dynamics in which agents adjust continuous opinions as a result of random binary encounters whenever their difference in opinion is below a given threshold is presented.Abstract:
We present a model of opinion dynamics in which agents adjust continuous opinions as a result of random binary encounters whenever their difference in opinion is below a given threshold. High thresholds yield convergence of opinions towards an average opinion, whereas low thresholds result in several opinion clusters: members of the same cluster share the same opinion but are no longer influenced by members of other clusters.read more

Statistical physics of social dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, a wide list of topics ranging from opinion and cultural and language dynamics to crowd behavior, hierarchy formation, human dynamics, and social spreading are reviewed and connections between these problems and other, more traditional, topics of statistical physics are highlighted.

Opinion dynamics and bounded confidence models, analysis and simulation
Rainer Hegselmann,Ulrich Krause +1 more
TL;DR: This article investigates various models for the dynamics of continuous opinions by analytical methods as well as by computer simulations for the classical model of consensus formation, a time-dependent version and a nonlinear version with bounded confidence of the agents.

Distributed Control of Robotic Networks: A Mathematical Approach to Motion Coordination Algorithms
TL;DR: This self-contained introduction to the distributed control of robotic networks offers a broad set of tools for understanding coordination algorithms, determining their correctness, and assessing their complexity; and it analyzes various cooperative strategies for tasks such as consensus, rendezvous, connectivity maintenance, deployment, and boundary estimation.
Distributed Control of Robotic Networks
TL;DR: This dissertation aims to provide a history of web exceptionalism from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year in which descriptions of “Web 2.0” began to circulate.

TL;DR: In this paper, a scaling solution for the Bethe lattice is proposed for cluster numbers and a scaling assumption for cluster number scaling assumptions for cluster radius and fractal dimension is proposed.

Rational group decision making: A random field Ising model at T = 0
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of a finite random field Ising ferromagnetic model in an external magnetic field at zero temperature is presented to describe group decision making, where individual bias related to personal backgrounds, cultural values and past experiences are introduced via quenched local competing fields.
