Consensus for the Hegselmann-Krause model with time variable time delays

Optimization and Control 2023-08-11 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze a Hegselmann-Krause opinion formation model with time-variable time delay and prove that, if the influence function is always positive, then there is exponential convergence to consensus without requiring any smallness assumptions on the time delay function. The analysis is then extended to a model with distributed time delay.
