Truth seekers in opinion dynamics models

Abstract

We modify the model of Deffuant et al. to distinguish true opinion among others in the fashion of Hegselmann and Krause <http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/9/3/10.html>. The basic features of both models modified to account for truth seekers are qualitatively the same.
