Effects of social diversity on the emergence of global consensus in opinion dynamics.
We propose a variant of the voter model by introducing the social diversity in the evolution process. Each individual is assigned a weight that is proportional to the power of its degree, where the power exponent alpha is an adjustable parameter that controls the level of diversity among individuals in the network. At each time step, a pair of connected individuals, say i and j , are randomly s...
متن کاملDynamics of Majority Rule with Differential Latencies
We investigate the dynamics of the majority-rule opinion formation model when voters experience differential latencies. With this extension, voters that just adopted an opinion go into a latent state during which they are excluded from the opinion formation process. The duration of the latent state depends on the opinion adopted by the voter. This leads to a bias toward consensus on the opinion...
متن کاملOpinion dynamics on an adaptive random network.
We revisit the classical model for voter dynamics in a two-party system with two basic modifications. In contrast to the original voter model studied in regular lattices, we implement the opinion formation process in a random network of agents in which interactions are no longer restricted by geographical distance. In addition, we incorporate the rapidly changing nature of the interpersonal rel...
متن کاملConsensus time and conformity in the adaptive voter model.
The adaptive voter model is a paradigmatic model in the study of opinion formation. Here we propose an extension for this model, in which conflicts are resolved by obtaining another opinion, and analytically study the time required for consensus to emerge. Our results shed light on the rich phenomenology of both the original and extended adaptive voter models, including a dynamical phase transi...
متن کاملSky: Opinion Dynamics Based Consensus for P2P Network with Trust Relationships
Traditional Byzantine consensus does not work in P2P network due to Sybil attack while the most prevalent Sybil-proof consensus at present still can’t resist adversary with dominant compute power. This paper proposed opinion dynamics based consensus for P2P network with trust relationships, consisting of the sky framework and the sky model. With the sky framework, opinion dynamics can be applie...
