Abstract

We present a model of opinion formation game resource limited utility-maximizing agents interacting over a social network. The opinion dynamics is the result of each agent simultaneously revising its opinion by gradient ascent of its utility function. We analyze the evolution of opinions, including boundedness of opinions, convergence to an equilibrium and oscillatory behavior. In some special cases, we comment on the relative dominance of the agents on the steady state opinions. We also establish connections to Nash equilibria and prices of anarchy.
