Minorities in a model for opinion formation

Laguna, M. F. · Abramson, Guillermo · Zanette, Damian H.

Original · EN

We study a model for social influence in which the agents' opinion is a continuous variable [G. Weisbuch et al., Complexity 7, 2, 55 (2002)]. The convergent opinion adjustment process takes place as a result of random binary encounters whenever the difference between agents' opinions is below a given threshold. The inhomogeneity in the dynamics gives rise to a complex steady state structure, which is also highly dependent on the threshold and on the convergence parameter of the model.
