Year of Graduation: 2021

This paper analyses the phenomenon of social influence through modal dynamic epistemic logic, as well as through the logic of social networks. The purpose of the work is to identify patterns between how the presence of one or another form of knowledge is associated with dynamic processes within a social network. In addition, an independent attempt was made to combine two logical paradigms in order to obtain a rich language capable of distinguishing between the diversity of the specifics of both social interaction and the accompanying changes in the information state of agents.
