Examining the relative disagreement model of opinion dynamics with Klemm-Eguiluz social network topologies
Authors: Michael Meadows
Abstract
This paper presents a brief history of models of opinion dynamics and summaries of the work from the creation of the Bounded Confidence (BC) model through to the more recent development of the Relative Agreement (RA) model and finally of the Relative Disagreement (RD) model. As a result of the re-examination and correction of the original specification of the RA model given by Meadows and Cliff, and subsequent first investigation of the RA model operating within non-trivial but realistic social networks the RD model was proposed as not only an extension but a significant improvement. Given that these two highly successful approaches have been taken with the RA model, it is now necessary to present a full exploration of the new RD model operating within the same non-trivial topologies.
