The damped oscillator model (DOM) and its application in the prediction of emotion development of online public opinions

作者:

Highlights:

• A damped oscillator model (DOM) is introduced.

• The elf-decaying process of human emotion can be simulated through the model.

• A final state without any obviously established opinion can be simulated.

• Cases of opinion leaders and extreme emotional individuals are simulated.

• This model can well forecast the emotion development of online public opinions.
