Abstract：Opinion dynamics has emerged as a research hotspot in many fields such as network science, control theory and sociology, focusing on the analysis and interventions of opinion evolution in complex networks. This paper reviews two research directions developed from the Friedkin-Johnsen model. First, the co-evolution of implicit opinions and explicit opinions under the social pressure is presented, with an emphasis on recent advances in conformity behavior and opinion polarization. Second, the opinion intervention based on opinion maximization problem is introduced and the recent progress is summarized from perspective of intervention strategies such as node selection and timing selection. Finally, future research directions of opinion dynamics under the intersection of multiple fields are discussed.
