Vector opinion dynamics in a model for social influence
arXiv:cond-mat/0307623 · doi:10.1016/S0378-4371(03)00628-9
Abstract
We present numerical simulations of a model of social influence, where the opinion of each agent is represented by a binary vector. Agents adjust their opinions as a result of random encounters, whenever the difference between opinions is below a given threshold. Evolution leads to a steady state, which highly depends on the threshold and a convergence parameter of the model. We analyze the transition between clustered and homogeneous steady states. Results of the cases of complete mixing and small-world networks are compared.
