Consensus formation on a triad scale-free network
arXiv:cond-mat/0406390 · doi:10.1016/j.physa.2004.09.027
Abstract
Several cases of the Sznajd model of socio-physics, that only a group of people sharing the same opinion can convince their neighbors, have been simulated on a more realistic network with a stronger clustering. In addition, many opinions, instead of usually only two, and a convincing probability have been also considered. Finally, with minor changes we obtain a vote distribution in good agreement with reality.
