The paper entitled "The impact of variable commitment in the Naming Game on consensus formation," by Xiang Niu, Casey Doyle, Gyorgy Korniss and Boleslaw K. Szymanski has been published in Scientific Reports 7, 41750, 2017 doi: 10.1038/srep41750

Feb. 03, 2017: The paper is available on Scientific Report site and at http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~szymansk/papers/srep41750.pdf. The authors study the effect of making commitment variable has on the dynamics of the system. Committed nodes are assigned a commitment strength, w, defining their willingness to lose (in waning), gain (for increasing) or both (in variable) commitment to an opinion. (more)
