This paper investigates the dynamical system governing the phase differences between three identical oscillators arranged symmetrically and coupled by burst interactions. By constructing a discrete Lyapunov function, we prove the existence…
We reformulate the agent-based opinion dynamics models of Weisbuch-Deffuant and Hegselmann-Krause as interactive Markov chains. So we switch the scope from a finite number of n agents to a finite number of n opinion classes. Thus, we will…
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…
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…
The classic Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model for opinion dynam- ics consists of a set of agents on the real line, each one instructed to move, at every time step, to the mass center of all the agents within a fixed distance R. In this work, we…
Random pairwise encounters often occur in large populations, or groups of mobile agents, and various types of local interactions that happen at encounters account for emergent global phenomena. In particular, in the fields of swarm…
We propose and analyze a new candidate Lyapunov function for relaxation towards general nonequilibrium steady states. The proposed functional is obtained from the large time asymptotics of time-symmetric fluctuations. For driven Markov jump…
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,…
The process algebra HYPE was recently proposed as a fine-grained modelling approach for capturing the behaviour of hybrid systems. In the original proposal, each flow or influence affecting a variable is modelled separately and the overall…
A large number of biological systems - from bacteria to sheep - can be described as ensembles of self-propelled agents (active particles) with a complex internal dynamic that controls the agent's behavior: resting, moving slow, moving fast,…
When analysing statistical systems or stochastic processes, it is often interesting to ask how they behave given that some observable takes some prescribed value. This conditioning problem is well understood within the linear operator…
In this paper we study a Hegselmann-Krause opinion formation model with distributed time delay and positive influence functions. Through a Lyapunov functional approach, we provide a consensus result under a smallness assumption on the…
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…
In this paper, a consensus algorithm is proposed for interacting multi-agents, which can be modeled as simple Mechanical Control Systems (MCS) evolving on a general Lie group. The standard Laplacian flow consensus algorithm for double…
In this paper, we model a decision-making process involving a set of interacting agents. We use Markovian opinion dynamics, where each agent switches between decisions according to a continuous time Markov chain. Existing opinion dynamics…
In this paper, we study Hegselmann-Krause models with a time-variable time delay. Under appropriate assumptions, we show the exponential asymptotic consensus when the time delay satisfies a suitable smallness assumption. Our main strategies…
In this paper we consider the modeling of opinion dynamics over time dependent large scale networks. A kinetic description of the agents' distribution over the evolving network is considered which combines an opinion update based on binary…
We study the long-time behavior of the $\kappa$-Markov local-field equation ($\kappa$-MLFE), which is a conditional McKean-Vlasov equation associated with interacting diffusions on the $\kappa$-regular tree. Under suitable assumptions on…
The decomposition of the energy of a compressible fluid parcel into slow (deterministic) and fast (stochastic) components is interpreted as a stochastic Hamiltonian interacting particle system (HIPS). It is shown that the McKean-Vlasov…
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…
