From graphons to real-world networks: kinetic opinion dynamics under selective media influence
Bertram Düring, Martina Fraia, Alessandro Licciardi
We propose a kinetic model of opinion dynamics under selective media influence on both graphon-based and real-world networks. The media action, inspired by Hallin's theory of spher…

PDE-constrained optimal control of a leader-follower opinion formation model
Bertram Düring, Oliver Wright
We consider the PDE-constrained optimal control of a leader-follower kinetic opinion formation model, with a Fokker-Planck-type system of partial differential equations as a state…

Breaking Consensus in Kinetic Opinion Formation Models on Graphons
Bertram Düring, Jonathan Franceschi, Marie-Therese Wolfram +1
In this work we propose and investigate a strategy to prevent consensus in kinetic models for opinion formation. We consider a large interacting agent system, and assume that agent…
