Abstract:
This paper investigates two kinds of convergence behaviors of nonlinear polar opinion dynamics over cooperative-antagonistic social networks determined by signed graphs. The first problem studies the neutralization of opinions over strongly connected and structurally unbalanced signed graphs, while the second problem focuses on the containment convergence to external stubborn agents over signed graphs under a variety of connectivity constraints. It is observed that various connectivity conditions induce the common intrinsic property that the involved generalized opposing Laplacian matrix is nonsingular. A stability framework is proposed that addresses both the existence of potential limiting behaviors as well as their convergence properties. This involves an analysis of the positiveness of the (opinion) susceptibility functions. The domains of attraction associated with the convergent behaviors are characterized. The solvability of both problems is provided, and the attracting domains are characterized precisely. The results are applied to blended social networks composed of three specialized opinion models. Simulations and comparisons are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the paper's results. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
