Event details
In a previous talk I have discuss the problem of opinion separation in a population using a mean-field approach. In this talk, I will recover some of the mean field results and generalize them using moving Brownian agents. The study of the stability of the evolution equation of the spatial density of agents sharing an opinion will shed more light on the type of transition that occurs.
