Abstract
In this paper, we consider the convergence of generalized Deffuant-Weisbuch (DW) model. The generalized models result from the extension based on two multi-choice policies. The convergence for the multi-choice protocols are investigated with the help of stochastic analysis. The analysis is given to make all the opinion agents converge to their own opinion points for the first model. Moreover, the consensus can be achieved almost surely under mild assumptions for the second model.
