Message-Enhanced DeGroot Model
Understanding the impact of messages on agents' opinions over social networks is important. However, to our best knowledge, there has been limited quantitative investigation into this phenomenon in the prior works. To address this gap, this paper proposes the Message-Enhanced DeGroot model. The Bounded Brownian Message model provides a quantitative description of the message evolution, jointly considering temporal continuity, randomness, and polarization from mass media theory. The Message-Enhanced DeGroot model, combining the Bounded Brownian Message model with the traditional DeGroot model, quantitatively describes the evolution of agents' opinions under the influence of messages. We theoretically study the probability distribution and statistics of the messages and agents' opinions and quantitatively analyze the impact of messages on opinions. We also conduct simulations to validate our analyses.

DeGroot-Friedkin Map in Opinion Dynamics is Mirror Descent
We provide a variational interpretation of the DeGroot-Friedkin map in opinion dynamics. Specifically, we show that the nonlinear dynamics for the DeGroot-Friedkin map can be viewed as mirror descent on the standard simp…
Accelerated consensus in multi-agent networks via memory of local averages
Classical mathematical models of information sharing and updating in multi-agent networks use linear operators. In the paradigmatic DeGroot model, agents update their states with linear combinations of their neighbors' c…
Subjective-Graph LLM Agents for Simulating Uncertainty in Classroom Social Perception
Social actors do not observe a common social world: each individual forms judgments from a partial and potentially distorted view of the surrounding network. We study whether graph-local evidence and credibility-weighted…
The qualitative accuracy of the Becker-DeGroot-Marshak method
The Becker DeGroot Marshak method is widely used to elicit the valuation that an individual assigns to an object. Theoretically, the second-price structure of the method gives individuals the incentive to state their tru…

Linguistic fuzzy information evolution is crucial in understanding information exchange among agents. However, different agent weights may lead to different convergence results in the classic DeGroot model. Similarly, in…
