A nonlinear model of opinion formation on the sphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a model for opinion dynamics on the d-dimensional sphere based on classical consensus algorithms. The choice of the model is motivated by the analysis of the comprehensive literature on the subject, both from the mathematical and the sociological point of views. The resulting dynamics is highly nonlinear and therefore presents a rich structure. Equilibria and asymptotic behaviour are then analysed and sufficient condition for consensus are established. Finally we address global stabilization and controllability.

Social Campaigns on Online Platforms as a New Form of Public Sphere in Digital Era: A Critical Review
Nowadays with the ever-increasing growth in social media platforms and the creation of different forms of online activism, the word known as “Campaign” has become a familiar and useful term in people’s everyday lives. Campaigns with all kinds of social aims especially using Hashtags are run on social media platforms by individuals, charities, NGOs, governments, municipalities and brand companie...
متن کاملAn Influence of Trench Formation on Steel Catenary Risers Based on a Hysteretic Nonlinear Seabed Model
A steel catenary riser (SCR) attached to a floating platform at its upper end encounters fluctuations in and near its touchdown zone (TDZ), which causes the interaction with the seabed. Subsea surveys and the analysis of SCR’s indicated that the greatest stress and highest damage occurred near the touchdown point (TDP), where the SCR first touches the seabed. Nowadays, the linear seabed spring ...
متن کاملPossibility of the effect of the Internet on 'Public Sphere' in Jurgen Habermas's Tthought?"
In recent decades, "Public Sphere" is one of the most important concepts in political science. Jurgen Habermas the famous thinker in this approach is the first to use this concept in critical thinking, where he demonstrates how networking is used for communicative actions. Habermas has not included the Internet as an important part of his thought process in the "public sphere", however, I think...

In this paper, by using the nonlinear coherent states on a sphere, we introduce superposition of the aforementioned coherent states. Then, we consider quantum optical properties of these new superposed states and compare these properties with the corresponding properties of the nonlinear coherent states on the sphere. Specifically, we investigate their characteristics function, photon-number d...
متن کاملFuzzy Forcing Set on Fuzzy Graphs
The investigation of impact of fuzzy sets on zero forcing set is the main aim of this paper. According to this, results lead us to a new concept which we introduce it as Fuzzy Zero Forcing Set (FZFS). We propose this concept and suggest a polynomial time algorithm to construct FZFS. Further more we compute the propagation time of FZFS on fuzzy graphs. This concept can be more efficient to model...
