Opinion Dynamics of Social-Similarity-Based Hegselmann–Krause Model by Xi Chen, Xiao Zhang, Yong Xie, Wei Li

“…By considering the joint effect of confidence bounds and social similarity in this model, the role of neighbors’ selection is changed significantly in the process of the evolution of opinions. Numerical results demonstrate that the new model can not only obtain the salient features of the opinion result, namely, fragmentation, polarization, and consensus, but also achieve consensus more easily under the appropriate similarity threshold. …”
