| contents | This paper introduces a heterogeneous multidimensional bounded confidence (BC) opinion dynamics with random pairwise interactions, whereby each pair of agents accesses each other's opinions with a specific probability. This revised model is motivated by the observation that the standard Hegselmann-Krause (HK) dynamics requires unrealistic all-to-all interactions at certain configurations. For this randomized BC opinion dynamics, regardless of initial opinions and positive confidence bounds, we show that the agents' states converge to fixed final opinions in finite time almost surely and that the convergence rate follows a negative exponential distribution in mean square. Furthermore, we establish sufficient conditions for the heterogeneous BC opinion dynamics with random interactions to achieve consensus in finite time. |
