We give a new proof of convergence into clusters of agents, with all agents in the same cluster holding the same opinion. We then introduce a particular notion of equilibrium stability and provide lower bounds on the inter-cluster distances at a stable equilibrium. To better understand the behavior of the system when the number of agents is large, we also introduce and study a variant involving a continuum of agents, obtaining partial convergence results and lower bounds on inter-cluster distances, under some mild assumptions.11 tex files, 13 eps files, 1 style file, 15 double columns pagesMultiagent SystemsOn Krause's multi-agent consensus model with state-dependent connectivity (Extended version)text
