Effect of undecided agents on an opinion-forming model

Physics and Society 2021-06-23 v5 Chaotic Dynamics

Abstract

The effect of undecided agents is studied within populations in an opinion-forming dynamic, varying the number of undecided agents for different proportions of populations in a complete opinion-exchange network. The result is that the dynamic depends on the number of undecided agents, with 10\% of the undecided population potentially affecting the change in consensus and then becoming linear with a negative slope.
