英文摘要:
Many researchers have made various improvements to the Hegselmann‑Krause model after it was proposed. However, no one has considered the influence of group opinion during the opinion update process. In this paper, a novel bandwagon effect‑based Hegselmann‑Krause opinion dynamics model is proposed considering factors such as group opinion and trust degree. In our work, the trust degree of opinion leaders and normal individuals to their neighbours is formulated to a special function of the difference between their and their neighbours′ opinions. Then, the update rules of the agents′ opinions in the social network are developed. Numerous experiments conducted on both artificially generated network datasets and real‑traced network datasets show that under the joint influence of group opinion and opinion leaders, the opinions of all the agents, except the stubborn and isolated ones, can reach a consensus in a short time, whatever the proportion of opinion leaders, the confidence bound or the network scale is, which can well explain the conformity phenomenon in social networks.
