A Gossip-based Opinion Diffusion Model via Uninorm Aggregation Operator

Abstract

Gossip-based protocols for group communication have attractive scalability and reliability properties. In this paper, we extends our previous work [4]: a gossip-based protocol that enable agents to reach a consensus based on a special uninorm aggregation operator. We theoretically analyze the convergence and the randomness features of the extensions. The extended models can be more flexible in demonstrating the uncertainty and the convergence characteristics of collective decision dynamics.
