Election results and the Sznajd model on Barabasi network
arXiv:cond-mat/0111147 · doi:10.1140/e10051-002-0013-y
Abstract
The network of Barabasi and Albert, a preferential growth model where a new node is linked to the old ones with a probability proportional to their connectivity, is applied to Brazilian election results. The application of the Sznajd rule, that only agreeing pairs of people can convince their neighbours, gives a vote distribution in good agreement with reality.
