Network-Induced Strategic Communication in Opinion Dynamics
Hassan Munif, Anthony Couthures, Vineeth S. Varma +2
Classical opinion dynamics typically assume a fixed mapping from private opinions to public signals, such as linear exchange, saturated signaling, or discrete public actions. In th…
Social learning community detection with nonlinear interaction
Anthony Couthures, Athira Varma Jayakumar, Vineeth Satheeskumar Varma +3
Conventional community detection requires centralized network data, making it unsuitable for distributed or privacy-preserving systems. In this paper, we demonstrate that macroscop…
From Consensus to Robust Clustering: Multi-Agent Systems with Nonlinear Interactions
Anthony Couthures, Gustave Bainier, Vineeth Satheeskumar Varma +2
This paper establishes a theoretical framework to describe the transition from consensus to stable clustering in multi-agent systems with nonlinear, cooperative interactions. We fi…
Bifurcation analysis of an opinion dynamics model coupled with an environmental dynamics
Anthony Couthures, Anastasia Bizyaeva, Vineeth S. Varma +2
We consider an opinion dynamics model coupled with an environmental dynamics. Based on a forward invariance argument, we can simplify the analysis of the asymptotic behavior to the…
Global synchronization of multi-agent systems with nonlinear interactions
Anthony Couthures, Vineeth S. Varma, Samson Lasaulce +1
The paper addresses the synchronization of multi-agent systems with continuous-time dynamics interacting through a very general class of monotonic continuous signal functions that…
