On the Consensus Threshold for the Opinion Dynamics of Krause-Hegselmann

Santo Fortunato

In the consensus model of Krause-Hegselmann, opinions are real numbers between 0 and 1 and two agents are compatible if the difference of their opinions is smaller than the confide…

Do extremists impose the structure of social networks?

Philippe Blanchard, Santo Fortunato, Tyll Krueger

The structure and the properties of complex networks essentially depend on the way how nodes get connected to each other. We assume here that each node has a feature which attracts…

The Sznajd Consensus Model with Continuous Opinions

Santo Fortunato

In the consensus model of Sznajd, opinions are integers and a randomly chosen pair of neighbouring agents with the same opinion forces all their neighbours to share that opinion. W…

Number of spanning clusters at the high-dimensional percolation thresholds

Santo Fortunato, Amnon Aharony, Antonio Coniglio +1

A scaling theory is used to derive the dependence of the average number <k> of spanning clusters at threshold on the lattice size L. This number should become independent of L for…

Universality of the Threshold for Complete Consensus for the Opinion Dynamics of Deffuant et al

Santo Fortunato

In the compromise model of Deffuant et al., opinions are real numbers between 0 and 1 and two agents are compatible if the difference of their opinions is smaller than the confiden…

Damage Spreading and Opinion Dynamics on Scale Free Networks

Santo Fortunato

We study damage spreading among the opinions of a system of agents, subjected to the dynamics of the Krause-Hegselmann consensus model. The damage consists in a sharp change of the…
