Opinion Dynamics for Utility Maximizing Agents: Exploring the Impact of the Resource Penalty
Prashil Wankhede, Nirabhra Mandal, Sonia MartÃnez +1
We propose a continuous-time nonlinear model of opinion dynamics with utility-maximizing agents connected via a social influence network. A distinguishing feature of the proposed m…
