Convergence to consensus for a Hegselmann-Krause-type model with distributed time delay
Minimax theory and its applications, Tome 6 (2021) no. 2
We study a Hegselmann-Krause opinion formation model with distributed time delay and positive influence functions. Through a Lyapunov functional approach, we provide a consensus result under a smallness assumption on the initial delay. Furthermore, we analyze a transport equation, obtained as mean-field limit of the particle one. We prove global existence and uniqueness of themeasure-valued solution for the delayed transport equation and its convergence to consensus under a smallness assumption on the delay, using a priori estimates which are uniform with respect to the number of agents.
