Time Variant Consensus Formation in Higher Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
The classical result by De Groot on consensus formation for one dimensional opinions and fixed coefficients of confidence is extended to a discrete dynamical system with opinions of any finite dimension and a confidence pattern which may depend on time.

The purpose of this study was the creation and measurement of consensus regarding formation of a new Department of Health in Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS). Using a three-iteration Delphi procedure, consensus was built and measured among experts on different aspects of a possible merger between the current Medical Care and Health Care Departments and the formation of a new Depart...
متن کاملOpinion dynamics and bounded confidence: models, analysis and simulation
When does opinion formation within an interacting group lead to consensus, polarization or fragmentation? The article investigates various models for the dynamics of continuous opinions by analytical methods as well as by computer simulations. Section 2 develops within a unified framework the classical model of consensus formation, the variant of this model due to Friedkin and Johnsen, a time-d...
متن کاملA Discrete Nonlinear and Non–autonomous Model of Consensus Formation
Consensus formation among n experts is modeled as a positive discrete dynamical system in n dimensions. The well–known linear but non–autonomous model is extended to a nonlinear one admitting also various kinds of averaging beside the weighted arithmetic mean. For this model a sufficient condition for reaching a consensus is presented. As a special case consensus formation under bounded confide...

INTRODUCTION: Despite the prevalence of the term “household disaster preparedness”, there is no consensus over a single and clear definition in this regard. The present study aimed to identify the components and explain the concept of household disaster preparedness. METHODS: The present study was conducted based on a qualitative design. After reviewing the concept and components of household ...
متن کاملConsensus of Dynamical Agents in Time-Variant Networks
Consensus problems in time-varying networks are studied in this paper. We consider two cases. In the first case, the networks are basically connected and the conditions for reaching consensus are described by means of the algebraic properties of connectivity for network graph. In the second case, the networks are possibly disconnected all time. A concept called integral connectivity of networks...
