Non-freezing of the proximity digraph and non-pseudostable convergence in heterogeneous Hegselmann--Krause models: Counterexamples to conjectures and results of Mirtabatabaei and Bullo

Peter Hegarty, Damiano Ognissanti, Edvin Wedin

In 2012, Mirtabatabaei and Bullo studied heterogeneous Hegselmann--Krause models of opinion dynamics, where different agents may have different confidence or influence bounds. They…

A rigorous formulation of and partial results on Lorenz's "consensus strikes back" phenomenon for the Hegselmann-Krause model

Edvin Wedin

In a 2006 paper, Jan Lorenz observed a curious behaviour in numerical simulations of the Hegselmann-Krause model: Under some circumstances, making agents more closed-minded can pro…

The "No Justice in the Universe" phenomenon: why honesty of effort may not be rewarded in tournaments

Peter Hegarty, Anders Martinsson, Edvin Wedin

In 2000 Allen Schwenk, using a well-known mathematical model of matchplay tournaments in which the probability of one player beating another in a single match is fixed for each pai…

The Hegselmann-Krause dynamics on the circle converge

Peter Hegarty, Anders Martinsson, Edvin Wedin

We consider the Hegselmann-Krause dynamics on a one-dimensional torus and provide the first proof of convergence of this system. The proof requires only fairly minor modifications…

The Hegselmann-Krause dynamics for equally spaced agents

Peter Hegarty, Edvin Wedin

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 p…

A quadratic lower bound for the convergence rate in the one-dimensional Hegselmann-Krause bounded confidence dynamics

Edvin Wedin, Peter Hegarty

Let f_{k}(n) be the maximum number of time steps taken to reach equilibrium by a system of n agents obeying the k-dimensional Hegselmann-Krause bounded confidence dynamics. Previou…

The Hegselmann-Krause dynamics for continuous agents and a regular opinion function do not always lead to consensus

Edvin Wedin, Peter Hegarty

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…
