Example time evolution for three initial groups.

<p><i>N</i> = 1000, <i>r</i> = 0.5, <i>ϵ</i>_<i>A</i> = 0.15, <i>μ</i>_<i>A</i> = 0.7, left: <i>RoE</i> = 0.5, right: <i>RoE</i> = 0.9.</p

The time evolution of the two opinion groups for three sets of parameters: (a) <i>ϵ</i>_<i>A</i> = 0.2, <i>μ</i>_<i>A</i> = 0.2, (b) <i>ϵ</i>_<i>A</i> = 0.075, <i>μ</i>_<i>A</i> = 0.5, (c) <i>ϵ</i>_<i>A</i> = 0.1, <i>μ</i>_<i>A</i> = 0.5.

<p>The points are simulation results, solid lines are result of <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0173561#pone.0173561.e006" target="_blank">Eq (6)</a>.</p

Simulation results: (a) The logarithm of the relaxation time of the original model with three opinion groups and RoE = 0.5, (b) The ratio of the relaxation times with and without banning.

Colormaps of the logarithm of the relaxation time <i>τ</i> in function of <i>RoE</i> and <i>r</i> using simulations with <i>N</i> = 10000.

<p>Top row 3, bottom row 4 groups, left regime II, and right regime III. The lower two graphs show cuts at <i>r</i> = 0.5 and <i>RoE</i> = 0.5 respectively. Let us note the log-linear scale and the relaxation time sometimes grows an order of magnitude within small changes of <i>RoE</i>.</p
