Effect of Segregation on Opinion Formation in Scale-Free Social Networks: An Agent-based Approach

We consider the effect of segregation on opinion formation in social networks with and without influential leaders scale-free random networks, which is found many natural phenomena. have used agent-based modeling simulation, focusing impact model formation. Two simulation scenarios this been considered: (1) original scenario randomly assigns persuasion strengths to agents, (2) a centrality-based scenario, proportional agents’ centralities. In latter hubs are considered more who connected others higher than others. The results show correlation between change population model, but no both variables scenario. lead us conclude that strong society, neglectable.
