Opinion dynamics with bounded confidence and group pressure

C Cheng, C Yu - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2019 - Elsevier
Current opinion formation models typically assume that two individuals (agents) will
communicate with each other only if the distance between their opinions is less than a …

Effects of heterogeneous convergence rate on consensus in opinion dynamics

C Huang, Q Dai, W Han, Y Feng, H Cheng… - Physica A: Statistical …, 2018 - Elsevier
The Deffuant model has attracted much attention in the study of opinion dynamics. Here, we
propose a modified version by introducing into the model a heterogeneous convergence …

Opinion clusters in a modified Hegselmann–Krause model with heterogeneous bounded confidences and stubbornness

W Han, C Huang, J Yang - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its …, 2019 - Elsevier
In opinion dynamics with continuous opinion, bounded confidence is a critical parameter.
Agents can interact with each other only when the opinion difference between them is less …

Mass media and heterogeneous bounds of confidence in continuous opinion dynamics

M Pineda, GM Buendía - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its …, 2015 - Elsevier
This work focuses on the effects of an external mass media on continuous opinion dynamics
with heterogeneous bounds of confidence. We modified the original Deffuant et al. and …

[HTML][HTML] Opinion dynamics with similarity-based random neighbors

Q Liu, X Wang - Scientific reports, 2013 - nature.com
A typical assumption made in the existing opinion formation models is that two individuals
can communicate with each other only if the distance between their opinions is less than a …

[HTML][HTML] Multi-level opinion dynamics under bounded confidence

G Kou, Y Zhao, Y Peng, Y Shi - 2012 - journals.plos.org
Opinion dynamics focuses on the opinion evolution in a social community. Recently, some
models of continuous opinion dynamics under bounded confidence were proposed by …

Compromise and synchronization in opinion dynamics

A Pluchino, V Latora, A Rapisarda - The European Physical Journal B …, 2006 - Springer
We discuss two models of opinion dynamics. We first present a brief review of the
Hegselmann and Krause (HK) compromise model in two dimensions, showing that it is …

Effects of social diversity on the emergence of global consensus in opinion dynamics

HX Yang, ZX Wu, C Zhou, T Zhou, BH Wang - Physical Review E, 2009 - APS
We propose a variant of the voter model by introducing the social diversity in the evolution
process. Each individual is assigned a weight that is proportional to the power of its degree …

Opinion dynamics of learning agents: does seeking consensus lead to disagreement?

R Vicente, ACR Martins, N Caticha - Journal of Statistical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We study opinion dynamics in a population of interacting adaptive agents voting on a set of
issues represented by vectors. We consider agents who can classify issues into one of two …

Convergence to global consensus in opinion dynamics under a nonlinear voter model

HX Yang, WX Wang, YC Lai, BH Wang - Physics Letters A, 2012 - Elsevier
We propose a nonlinear voter model to study the emergence of global consensus in opinion
dynamics. In our model, agent i agrees with one of binary opinions with the probability that is …
