Abstract
⺠We study the influence of contradictory individuals inside a conciliatory group. ⺠We use a kinetic framework to model opinion formation. ⺠Our existence result ensures the relevance of the numerical simulations. ⺠Two collision rules are provided, with no asymptotic equilibrium. ⺠Various situations are numerically tested (uniform or not contradictory group).
