Chaotic, staggered, and polarized dynamics in opinion forming: The contrarian effect
Chaotic, staggered, and polarized dynamics in opinion forming: The contrarian effect
We reconsider the no-tie-breaking two-state Galam contrarian model of opinion dynamics for update groups of size 3. While the initial model assumes a constant density of contrarians $a$ for both opinions, the density now depends for each opinion on its global support. Proportionate contrarians are thus found to indeed preserve …
