Abstract
This paper considers an integro-differential model of informational confrontation based on Rashevky’s neurological scheme which is difficult to modify for taking into account the differences in susceptibility of individuals to propaganda, the special influence of the reference group for a given individual or the variance of some characteristics of individuals. This can be done by using a discrete model based on a cellular automaton having macrodynamic similar to that of the continuous model. Such a model is proposed in this paper, its dynamics is studied and it is shown to yield the main results, given by the continuous model.
