A Formal Theory of Reflected Appraisals in the Evolution of Power (2011, methodology): “The formalization is supported by findings obtained on small-group discussions of specific issues in experimental settings (Friedkin and Johnsen, 2011) and field settings (Childress and Friedkin, 2012).”
Random walks and diffusion on networks (2016, unknown): “[404] and references therein.”
A review on trust propagation and opinion dynamics in social networks and group decision making frameworks (2019, methodology): “This model considers the opinion evolution of the individuals as a weighted average of their opinions at a previous time state, using the following recursively mathematical formulation y(t +1) =Wy(t), t = 0,1,2, · · · where y(t) is a real-valued vector representing the individuals’ opinions at time ”
Opinion Dynamics and the Evolution of Social Power in Influence Networks (2015, methodology): “Much ongoing interest is focusing on dynamic models of structural change [1] [25] [43] [54] [70], and on a broad range of dynamic processes unfolding over static networks; examples include the study of social learning [2] [35], opinion formation [23] [32] and information propagation [25] [57] [60].”
