Fig. 2: Effect of DMP parameters on individual and collective properties.
From: Messengers: breaking echo chambers in collective opinion dynamics with homophily
a An example realization of the DMP with pE = 0.003, pM = 0.0004, showing the time history of a single agent state switching between Exploiter (E) and Messenger (M) states determined by the Markov process. The time duration of staying in either of the states in the 2nd sojourn is denoted by \({\tau }_{\,\text{E}\,}^{2}\) and \({\tau }_{\,\text{M}\,}^{2}\). b Average sojourn time of the DMP, and c the ratio of Messenger population shown with 5 percent intervals for the analytical and numerical simulations with solid and dashed lines respectively.
