A Logical Approach to Extreme Opinion Diffusion

Enzo Battistella, Laurence Cholvy

2018

Abstract

This paper focuses on diffusion of extreme opinions among agents which influence each other. In this work, opinions are modeled as formulas of the propositional logic or equivalently, as sets of propositional interpretations. Moreover, we assume that any agent changes its opinion by merging the opinions of its influencers, from most to least influential. We propose a first definition of extreme opinions and extremism. We then consider degrees of extremism. Formal studies of these definitions are made as well as simulations.
