Abstract
We analyze a bounded confidence model, introduced by Krause, on isolated time scales. In this model, each agent takes into account only the assessments of the agents whose opinions are not too far away from its own opinion. We show that the behavior of the model depends strongly on the graininess function μ: If μ takes values in the interval ]0,1], then our discrete time scale model behaves similarly to the classical one, but if μ takes values in ]1,+∞[, then the model has different properties. Simulations are performed to validate the theoretical results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
