Summary:

Stochastic approximation methods have been widely used in random processes with reinforcement. Applications include root approximation algorithm, interacting urn models, and continuous reinforced processes. Emphasis is on the establishment of a so-called opinion broadcasting model, with the proof of an asymptotic result for such process using the idea of some stochastic approximation method.
