Abstract

We model the propagation competition between hostile groups as an opinion dynamic game. The model is based on a variant of the DeGroot model. In the cost function, we considered the regulation from the platform and the intention to nudge the opponent against the regulation. Considering the unavailability of network relations, we use reinforcement learning to search for the feedback strategy of both parties. In the simulation, we verified the effectiveness of this method and showed that the stricter the platform regulation, the more conducive to the formation of consensus.
