From: Opinion dynamics with similarity-based random neighbors
Impact of the openness of the society (α) and the number of long-range neighbors (β) on the opinion formation under different bounds of confidence (r).
A relatively large α corresponds to that agents are more inclined to communicate with those who hold similar opinions. The initial opinions of all agents are randomly distributed in [0,1]. Four subfigures are corresponding to four different bounds of confidence. The overall trend in each subfigure is similar to the others, while the convergence time varies under different bounds of confidence. The result is averaged over 100 realizations.
