Abstract

This paper presents a novel non-flat synchronization model where the synchronization capacity of each agent is different regarding its social rank and strategy dominance. In the presented model, the prominent agents may have higher synchronization forces, and finally the collective synchronization results may incline to converge at such prominent agents' strategics, which is called prominence convergence in collective synchronization and proved by our experimental results. The presented model can well match the peculiarities of real multi-agent societies where each agent plays a different role in the synchronization, and make up the restrictions of related benchmark works that only concerned about the flat synchronization.
