We study a Cucker-Smale-type flocking model with distributed time delay where individuals interact with each other through normalized communication weights. Based on a Lyapunov functional approach, we provide sufficient conditions for the…
We study the Cucker--Smale (C-S) flocking systems involving both singularity and noise. We first show the local strong well-posedness for the stochastic singular C-S systems before the first collision time, which is a well defined stopping…
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…
This paper establishes the global well-posedness of the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation for a noisy version of the Hegselmann-Krause model. The equation captures the mean-field behavior of a classic multiagent system for opinion dynamics.…
We study the existence and uniqueness of the time evolution of a system of infinitely many individuals, moving in a tunnel and subjected to a Cucker-Smale type alignment dynamics with compactly supported communication kernels and to…
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…
We study the collective behaviors of two second-order nonlinear consensus models with a bonding force, namely the Kuramoto model and the Cucker-Smale model with inter-particle bonding force. The proposed models contain feedback control…
We introduce a model for self-organized dynamics which, we argue, addresses several drawbacks of the celebrated Cucker-Smale (C-S) model. The proposed model does not only take into account the distance between agents, but instead, the…
In the Hegselmann-Krause model, an agent updates its opinion by averaging with others whose opinions differ by at most a given confidence threshold. With agents' initial opinions uniformly distributed on the unit interval, we provide a…
We analyze Hegselmann-Krause opinion formation models with leadership in presence of time delay effects. In particular, we consider a model with pointwise time variable time delay and a model with a distributed delay. In both cases we show…
The mixed Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model consists of a finite number of agents characterized by their opinion, a vector in $\mathbf{R^d}$. For the deterministic case, each agent updates its opinion by the rule: decide its degree of…
We discuss the Cucker-Smale's (C-S) particle model for flocking, deriving precise conditions for flocking to occur when pairwise interactions are sufficiently strong long range. We then derive a Vlasov-type kinetic model for the C-S…
Hegselmann--Krause models are localized, distributed averaging dynamics on spatial data. A key aspect of these dynamics is that they lead to cluster formation, which has important applications in geographic information systems, dynamic…
Collective opinions affect civic participation, governance, and societal norms. Due to the influence of opinion dynamics, many models of their formation and evolution have been developed. A commonly used approach for the study of opinion…
We study a model for social influence in which the agents' opinion is a continuous variable [G. Weisbuch et al., Complexity \textbf{7}, 2, 55 (2002)]. The convergent opinion adjustment process takes place as a result of random binary…
The dynamics of the model of agents with limited confidence introduced by Hegselmann and Krause exhibits multiple well-separated regimes characterised by the number of distinct clusters in the stationary state. We present indications that…
Hegselmann and Krause introduced a discrete-time model of opinion dynamics with agents having limit confidence. It is well known that the dynamics reaches a stable state in a polynomial number of time steps. However, the gap between the…
In this work, we study a nonlocal opinion dynamics in a ring of agents with circular opinion in the presence of both attractive and repulsive interactions. We identified three types of consensus in this model, including global consensus,…
We consider a collective behavior model in which individuals try to imitate each others' velocity and have a preferred speed. We show that a phase change phenomenon takes place as diffusion decreases, bringing the system from a "disordered"…
We prove that asymptotic global consensus is always reached in the Hegselmann-Krause model with finite speed of information propagation $\mathfrak{c}>0$ under minimal (i.e., necessary) assumptions on the influence function. In particular,…
