Cost Optimization Problem for Opinion Dynamics at Terminal Moment in a Multi-agent Social Group
摘要
We consider an opinion dynamics model with average opinion orientation. For a small social group consisting of multiple agents, a player only influences the opinion of one agent to motivate them to approach their targets. The opinion dynamics equation is constructed by mean-field theory, and the research problem is formulated as a discrete-time linear quadratic dynamic problem. The Euler equation approach is used to prove the necessary conditions for social group members to reach a consensus. In addition, numerical simulations demonstrate the theoretical results.
