In the paper, we investigate the Hoede-Bakker index - the notion which computes the overall decisional 'power' of a player in a social network. It is assumed that each player has an inclination (original decision) to say 'yes' or 'no' which, due to influence of other players, may be different...

In the paper, we generalize a two-action (yes-no) model of influence to a framework in which every player has a continuum of actions and he has to choose one of them. We assume the set of actions to be an interval. Each player has an inclination to choose one of the actions. Due to influence...

We study a stochastic model of influence where agents have “yes” or “no” inclinations on some issue, and opinions may change due to mutual influence among the agents. Each agent independently aggregates the opinions of the other agents and possibly herself. We study influence processes...
