We analyze the evolution of political organizations using a model in which agents change their opinions via two competing mechanisms.

Analytical results for the Sznajd model of opinion formation
The Sznajd model, which describes opinion formation and social influence, is treated analytically on a complete graph. We prove the

Discretized opinion dynamics of Deffuant on scale-free networks
The consensus model of Deffuant et al is simplified by allowing for many discrete instead of infinitely many continuous opinions,

Effect of leader's strategy on opinion formation in networked societies
The work investigates the influence of leader's strategy on opinion formation in artificial networked societies. The strength of the social

Modelling Group Opinion Shift to Extreme : the Smooth Bounded Confidence Model
We consider the phenomenon of opinion shift to the extreme reported in the social psychology literature. We argue that a
