- This is the first work to give a rigorous study of the incentives involved in the well-known Friedkin-Johnsen model, initially defined in 1990 in the sociology literature, of opinion formation in social networks with a finite number of possible opinions (as in many practically relevant settings). This paper has led to a number of follow-ups, considering different generalisations. For example, opinions coevolving with social relationships is considered in TCS 746: 73-87 (2018); a deadline to pressurise consensus is studied in TCS 795: 345-361 (2019); and the effects of varying the number of opinions is treated in AAMAS’19, pp. 1207–1215.
