The Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model is a wellknown opinion dynamics, attracting a significant amount of interest from a number of fields. However, the heterogeneous HK model is difficult to analyze - even the most basic property of convergence…
In opinion dynamics, the convergence of the heterogeneous Hegselmann-Krause (HK) dynamics has always been an open problem for years which looks forward to any essential progress. In this short note, we prove a partial convergence conclusion…
In opinion dynamics, how to model the enduring fragmentation phenomenon (disagreement, cleavage, and polarization) of social opinions has long possessed a central position. It is widely known that the confidence-based opinion dynamics…
In the model for continuous opinion dynamics introduced by Hegselmann and Krause, each individual moves to the average opinion of all individuals within an area of confidence. In this work we study the effects of noise in this system. With…
With the analysis of noise-induced synchronization of opinion dynamics with bounded confidence (BC), a natural and fundamental question is what opinion structures can be synchronized by noise. In the traditional Hegselmann-Krause (HK)…
The behavior of one-dimensional Hegselmann-Krause (HK) dynamics driven by noise has been extensively studied. Previous research has indicated that within no matter the bounded or the unbounded space of one dimension, the HK dynamics attain…
Eliminating disagreement in a group is usually beneficial to the social stability. In this paper, using the well-known Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model, we design a quite simple strategy that could resolve the opinion difference of the system…
The Hegselmann--Krause model is a prototypical model for opinion dynamics. It models the stochastic time evolution of an agent's or voter's opinion in response to the opinion of other like-minded agents. The Hegselmann--Krause model only…
We discuss two models of opinion dynamics. First wepresent 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…
We study a continuous-time version of the Hegselmann-Krause model describing the opinion dynamics of interacting agents subject to random perturbations. Mathematically speaking, the opinion of agents is modelled by an interacting particle…
The Hegselmann-Krause system (HK system for short) is one of the most popular models for the dynamics of opinion formation in multiagent systems. Agents are modeled as points in opinion space, and at every time step, each agent moves to the…
Recently the theory of noise-induced synchronization of Hegselmann-Krause (HK) dynamics has been well developed. As a typical opinion dynamics of bounded confidence, the HK model obeys a synchronous updating rule, i.e., \emph{all} agents…
The Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model is a typical self-organizing system with local rule dynamics. In spite of its widespread use and numerous extensions, the underlying theory of its synchronization induced by noise still needs to be…
The original Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model is composed of a finite number of agents characterized by their opinion, a number in $[0,1]$. An agent updates its opinion via taking the average opinion of its neighbors whose opinion differs by at…
In this paper, we consider two multi-dimensional Hagselmann-Krause (HK) models for opinion dynamics. The two models describe how individuals adjust their opinions on multiple topics, based on the influence of their peers. The models differ…
Designing feasible control strategies for opinion dynamics in complex social systems has never been an easy task. It requires a control protocol which 1) is not enforced on all individuals in the society, and 2) does not exclusively rely on…
We study the Hegselmann-Krause model of opinion dynamics on sparse, unbiased networks generated via Wilson's algorithm, unveiling how network connectivity and confidence bounds jointly determine collective behavior. By systematically…
The Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model allows one to characterize the continuous change of agents' opinions with the bounded confidence threshold $\varepsilon$. To consider the heterogeneity of agents in characteristics, we study the HK model on…
This paper introduces a new multidimensional extension of the Hegselmann-Krause (HK) opinion dynamics model, where opinion proximity is not determined by a norm or metric. Instead, each agent trusts opinions within the Minkowski sum…
The original Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model consists of a set of~$n$ agents that are characterized by their opinion, a number in~$[0, 1]$. Each agent, say agent~$i$, updates its opinion~$x_i$ by taking the average opinion of all its…
