1 Ifluecig with committed miorities S. Sreeivasa, J. Xie W. Zhag, C. Lim G. Koriss,.K. Szymaski Supported by RL NS CT, ONR 1

2 Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizes ca chage the world. Ideed, it is the oly thig that ever has. Margaret Mead The role of iflexible miorities i the breakig of democratic opiio dyamics, Galam ad Jacobs, Physica 381, 366 (2007). (homogeeous mixig/mea field) 2

3 Q. Ca a committed set of miority opiio holders o a etwork, reverse the majority opiio? 3

4 Q. Ca a committed set of miority opiio holders o a etwork, reverse the majority opiio? (vacciatios cause autism) 4

5 Q. Ca a committed set of miority opiio holders o a etwork, reverse the majority opiio? (vacciatios do ot cause autism) (vacciatios cause autism) 5

6 Q. Ca a committed set of miority opiio holders o a etwork, reverse the majority opiio? pplicatios: Ifluecig public opiio o prevetative healthcare, Eradicatig hostile opiios i terrorist states. 6

7 Model of social ifluece: iary agreemet model (2-word Namig Game) Differece from epidemic like models: coverted idividual ca revert back. (i cotrast to Threshold Model, ass Model) Ifluecig is symmetric i both opiios. (for ex: i cotrast to SIS model) arochelli et al., PRE (2007). Castelló et al., EPJ (2009). arochelli, PRE (2011). Xie et al., PRE (2011). Differece from voter model: Presece of itermediate state coarseig & domai formatio. Plausible for studyig situatios where a idividual does ot require high persoal ivestmet to chage opiio: Spread of buzz (Uzzi et al, forthcomig) 7

8 Model of social ifluece: iary agreemet model gets possess oe of the followig opiios at ay give time: (vacciatios do ot cause autism) (vacciatios cause autism) (mixed / ot sure) 8

9 Model of social ifluece: iary agreemet model t each microscopic time step: speaker is chose at radom. radom eighbor of the speaker is chose as listeer. Speaker Listeer 9

10 Model of social ifluece: iary agreemet model Opiio chage: Speaker voices a opiio from his list Speaker Listeer Case 1: If spoke opiio ot o listeer s list - he adds it 10

11 Model of social ifluece: iary agreemet model Opiio chage: Speaker voices a opiio from his list Speaker Listeer Case 2: If spoke opiio is o listeer s list - both retai oly spoke opiio 11

12 Iitial coditio we care about: Small fractio p < 0.5 of odes radomly chose are committed to opiio Committed odes are u-ifluecable i.e. ever chage opiio Remaiig fractio (1-p) of odes have opiio Oly absorbig state is the all cosesus state Q. How log does it take to reach the all cosesus state as a fuctio of the committed miority fractio p? 12

13 Mea Field Equatios each idividual ca iteract with all others ( complete graph ) umber of idividuals is large (N ) = N /N : desity of idividuals with opiio = N /N : desity of idividuals with opiio = N /N : desity of idividuals with mixed opiio () + + = 1 d dt d dt arochelli et al., PRE (2007). Castelló et al., EPJ (2009). arochelli, PRE (2011). 13

14 Mea Field Equatios each idividual ca iteract with all others ( complete graph ) umber of idividuals is large a small fractio of p idividuals are committed to the iitially miority opiio (committed idividuals ca ever chage their opiios) p = N c /N: desity of committed idividuals with opiio, p < 0.5 = N /N : desity of idividuals with opiio, (0)=0; = N /N : desity of idividuals with opiio, (0)=1 p; =N /N : desity of idividuals with mixed opiio (), p = 1 d dt d dt 3 2 p p Xie et al., PRE (2011) 14

16 Tippig poit i Social Networks Results o large complete graphs agree with mea-field results Sharp trasitio from -domiated mixed steady state to cosesus desity of iitially domiatig opiio For For fractio of committed agets tippig poit = steady state sol. is a mixed state steady state sol. is the all cosesus p c
