Student: Laricheva Maria

Supervisor: Larisa Manita

Faculty: HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM HSE)

Educational Programme: Applied Mathematics (Bachelor)

Year of Graduation: 2020

We study the dynamics of opinions in multi-agent systems from the perspective of Friedkin-Johnsen model. We analyze the possibility to control system from two different approaches: one based on interference in the network topology while other modifies the initial vector of opinions. Using Python, the effectiveness of proposed algorithms is proven on a large number of testing systems as well as on real data collected from Twitter.
