Criteria for asymptotic clustering of opinion dynamics towards bimodal consensus
By using the recently introduced framework of unilateral agents interactions, we provide tight graph-theoretical conditions ensuring asymptotic convergence of opinions in finite networks of cooperative agents towards equilibrium configurations where at most 2 distinct opinions persist. Such conditions extend previously known results on asymptotic agreement (or consensus). (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
