Multi-Dimensional Opinion Formation
Hanna Bartel, Martin Burger, Marie-Therese Wolfram
In this paper we propose and investigate a multi-dimensional opinion dynamics model where people are characterised by both opinions and importance weights across these opinions. Op…
What is the optimal way to lie? From microscopic to kinetic descriptions of consensus control
Sasha Glendinning, Susana N. Gomes, Marie-Therese Wolfram
We establish an approach for consensus control of opinion dynamics by introducing a liar to the classical system. The liar's aim is to steer the population towards consensus at the…
Modelling Global Trade with Optimal Transport
Thomas Gaskin, Guven Demirel, Marie-Therese Wolfram +1
Global trade is shaped by a complex mix of factors beyond supply and demand, including tangible variables like transport costs and tariffs, as well as less quantifiable influences…
Decision making in heterogeneous self-propelled particle systems
Gissell Estrada-Rodriguez, Victor Villegas-Morral, Marie-Therese Wolfram
In this paper, we investigate the role of uninformed individuals in consensus formation within opinion-swarming models for self-propelled particles. The proposed models are inspire…
Opinion Dynamics with Continuous Age Structure
Andrew Nugent, Susana N. Gomes, Marie-Therese Wolfram
We extend a classical model of continuous opinion formation to explicitly include an age-structured population. We begin by considering a stochastic differential equation model whi…
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…
