Abstract
In this paper, we apply the stochastic search dynamic optimization framework for steering opinion dynamics in a partially active population. The framework is grounded on stochastic optimization theory and relies on sampling of candidate solutions from distributions of the exponential family. We derive the distribution parameter update for an open loop, a feedback, and a novel adaptive feedback policy. All three policies are tested on two different opinion dynamics steering scenarios in simulation and compared against a hand designed feedback policy. The results showcase the effectiveness the framework for opinion dynamics control and the robustness of the adaptive feedback policy with respect to the active agent set size.
