1. Consensus formation in the Deffuant model
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with a mathematical model used in the context of social interaction in large groups, introduced by Deffuant et al. in 2000. Each individual holds an opinion and shares it with others in random pairwise encounters. LÄS MER
2. Interacting particle systems for opinion dynamics: the Deffuant model and some generalizations
Sammanfattning : In the field of sociophysics, concepts and techniques taken from statistical physics are used to model and investigate some social and political behavior of a large group of humans: their social network is given by a simple graph and neighboring individuals meet and interact in pairs or small groups. Although most of the established models feature rather simple microscopic interaction rules, the macroscopic long-time behavior of the collective often eludes an analytical treatment due to the complexity, which stems from the interaction of the large system as a whole.

Each paper explores different aspects of opinion formation or voting behavior, using diverse data sources and unique geographical perspectives.In the first paper, I examine the urban-rural divide in radical right populist support.

5. Intrinsic Formation and Macroscopic Intervention in Multi-agent Systems
Sammanfattning : In this dissertation, we study two problems within the field of the multi-agent systems theory. One is the formation control for multiple reducedattitudes, which are extensively utilized in many pointing applications and under-actuated scenarios for attitude maneuvers. LÄS MER
