DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/Dynamics/6/"
 >Bounded-confidence models for opinion dynamics on networks</a>\nby Heathe
 r Zinn-Brooks (Harvey Mudd) as part of Little school dynamics\n\n\nAbstrac
 t\nOnline social media networks have become extremely influential sources 
 of news and information. Given the large audience and the ease of sharing 
 content online\, the content that spreads on online social networks can ha
 ve important consequences on public opinion\, policy\, and voting. To bett
 er understand the online content spread\, mathematical modeling of opinion
  dynamics is becoming an increasingly popular field of study. In this talk
 \, I will introduce you to a special class of models of opinion dynamics o
 n networks called bounded-confidence models. I will then discuss some of t
 he applications and theory that my collaborators and I have been developin
 g with these models\, including the impact of media\, opinion disseminatio
 n\, mean-field dynamics\, and extensions to hypergraphs and multilayer net
 works. This talk will also include some unsolved questions for future work
