The original Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model comprises a set of $n$ agents characterized by their opinion, a number in $[0,1]$. Agent $i$ updates its opinion $x_i$ via taking the average opinion of its neighbors whose opinion differs by at…
We consider the Hegselmann-Krause bounded confidence dynamics for n equally spaced opinions on the real line, with gaps equal to the confidence bound r, which we take to be 1. We prove rigorous results on the evolution of this…
This paper presents a theoretical convergence analysis for an opinion-action coevolution model that integrates the opinion updating rule of the Hegselmann-Krause model with a utility-based decision-making mechanism. The model is…
The consensus model of Krause and Hegselmann can be naturally extended to the case in which opinions are integer instead of real numbers. Our algorithm is much faster than the original version and thus more suitable for applications. For…
We consider a continuous version of the Hegselmann-Krause model of opinion dynamics. Interaction between agents either leads to a state of consensus, where agents converge to a single opinion as time evolves, or to a fragmented state with…
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…
Opinion spreading in a society decides the fate of elections, the success of products, and the impact of political or social movements. The model by Hegselmann and Krause is a well-known theoretical model to study such opinion formation…
In the consensus model of Krause-Hegselmann, opinions are real numbers between 0 and 1 and two agents are compatible if the difference of their opinions is smaller than the confidence bound parameter \epsilon. A randomly chosen agent takes…
We present an example of a regular opinion function which, as it evolves in accordance with the discrete-time Hegselmann-Krause bounded confidence dynamics, always retains opinions which are separated by more than two. This confirms a…
This paper is concerned with the probability of consensus in a multivariate, spatially explicit version of the Hegselmann-Krause model for the dynamics of opinions. Individuals are located on the vertices of a finite connected graph…
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…
We perform a detailed study of the Hegselmann-Krause bounded confidence opinion dynamics model with heterogeneous confidence $\varepsilon_i$ drawn from uniform distributions in different intervals $[\varepsilon_l, \varepsilon_u]$. The phase…
In this paper, we analyze a Hegselmann-Krause opinion formation model with attractive-lacking interaction. More precisely, we investigate the situation in which the individuals involved in an opinion formation process interact among…
We study the consensus formation for an agents based model, generalizing that originally proposed by Krause \cite{Kr}, by allowing the communication channels between any couple of agents to be switched on or off randomly, at each time step,…
We study a model of opinion dynamics introduced by Krause: each agent has an opinion represented by a real number, and updates its opinion by averaging all agent opinions that differ from its own by less than 1. We give a new proof of…
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…
Models of continuous opinion dynamics under bounded confidence show a sharp transition between a consensus and a polarization phase at a critical global bound of confidence. In this paper, heterogeneous bounds of confidence are studied. The…
We study convergence of the following discrete-time non-linear dynamical system: n agents are located in R^d and at every time step, each moves synchronously to the average location of all agents within a unit distance of it. This popularly…
This paper aims at providing rigorous theoretical analysis to investigate the consensus behavior of opinion dynamics in noisy environments. It is known that the well-known Hegselmann-Krause (HK) opinion dynamics demonstrates various…
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…
