Research on the Propagation of Microblog Public Opinion Based on Cellular Automata

This thesis designed a microblog cellular automata model, including cellular state, cellular space, cellular neighborhood and evolution rules, aiming to study the spread of microblog public opinion. In the evolution of the tendency of microblog public opinion, firmness factors and influence factors were first designed, many experiments were then conducted with different firmness and influence coefficients distributions. Meanwhile, the role of influential microblogs in the evolution of tendency degree was investigated, together with the evolution of tendency degree in multi-neighborhood distribution.
