  • Abstract
    In this paper, the design of a population dynamics model based on both opinion and imitator dynamics is presented. This approach is focused on the analysis of some population behaviors such as the emergence of either consensus or disagreement, information aggregation, and spread of misinformation. The analysis of these properties is made in the context of network populations with or without the presence of prominent agents and environmental incentives. Some simulation results illustrate the ideas presented in this paper.
