Abstract: | 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 possible to simulate the dynamics
in the limit of an infinite number of agents by solving numerically a rate equation for
a continuum distribution of opinions. Then, we discuss the Opinion Changing Rate (OCR) model,
which allows to study under which conditions a group of agents with a
different natural tendency (rate) to change opinion can find the
agreement. In the context of the this model, consensus is viewed as a synchronization
process. |
