Convergence of the population's average opinion toward the leaders' average opinion
Convergence of the population's average opinion toward the leaders' average opinion
Let be the population distribution, let be the leaders' opinion distribution, and define the population's average opinion and the leaders' average opinion by
Assume that the interaction function satisfies . Convergence conjecture. The average opinion of the population converges toward the average opinion of the leaders as :
The conjecture concerns the long-time influence of leaders on the population's mean opinion; the preceding evolution equation shows that, for , the mean is driven by its difference from the leaders' average opinion. No resolution is supplied in the source.
