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…
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…

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…
People's opinions change with time as they interact with each other. In a bounded-confidence model (BCM) of opinion dynamics, individuals (which are represented by the nodes of a network) have continuous-valued opinions and are influenced…
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…
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…
This paper introduces a new model of continuous opinion dynamics with random noise. The model belongs to the broad class of so called bounded confidence models. It differs from other popular bounded confidence models by the update rule,…
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…
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…
